Pictures? I have seen it done but not sure how traditional it is. I think I would prefer a belt but maybe it could be option 5... I believe JSFMACLJR claimed no belt, no vest as option 4

Here's Panache with his cummerbund:

Nice pic mate. I'd wear a 3 button waistcoat with the PC, if I owned one. Also, go with some darker colored hose with evening wear. Or, fully fashioned tartan or diced hose-looks much better than the kilt hire white. Cheers!
