Because I have a large belly, and no hips or backside to speak of, I have a couple of kilts that I always wear suspen-braces with. In fact I have 3 different colors. The suspen-braces go under the vest or sweater as Jock has said. This might not be totally acceptable by the fashionistas, but it sure keeps the kilt off the floor and is easier than having to keep pulling the kilt up and tightening the straps!
