Button and loop items are atested in a huge proportion asociated to military camps, and i think it's more possible there are associated with the weaponry than with the dress.
You can pass the button in a hole in your belt, and use the loop part to fasten the leather atached to the sword.
Is a method suggested in Christian Miks, Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, 2007, page 245, abb. 44.
He have based that hypothetical way of gladius suspension in a find from Vindonissa, where a gladius, a button and loop fastener and some belt pieces were found together. The button and loop were found at the back of the gladius scabbard, suggesting a close connexion between both items.
