You don't need to wear a belt for the armour, you're right about that. But the most typical features of these belts are the rosettes, to attach stuff to your belt. I use mine for a purse, a knife and sometime smaller stuff. That could be carried by other means, of course, but then I think this belt is mainly about fashion, bling-bling if you want.
