Is it something that is specifically not litvish? Can someone who grew up Litvish put on a gartel without it being disrespectful to his minhag? Why do some chasidim wear thick gartels and others thinner ones?
Garters separate the head from the lower part of the body, and some have thicker heads thsn others …. anyway, a tie fulfills the minimum requirement.
A bigger question is – if you have zechus to belong to a menorah focused on intellectual achievements – why do you suddenly care about adding a string around your waist? You don’t feel frum enough because someone else doing something you don’t? Maybe look up some minhagim of say Rav Salanter or Alter from Slobodka, I am sure you’ll find some middos you can still work on. But maybe a belt is an easier path to feeling frum.
You can do whatever you _want_ just matters how much you care about what other people think of you
