    Quite literally why kilts, the Arabic Thawb, etc are a thing, it is the superior form for mobility and temperature regulation.

    Weird western purtian ideals made pants/trousers the social norm, which only make sense in cold winter climates.

      Now I know what the garment is, that’s called thawb.
      Neat to know.

      Besides

      which only make sense in cold winter climates.

      Guess where GB and most of west-nothern europe is located climate-wise.
      In Germany, the time which could make a skirt useful, are about 1-2.5 months out of 12 months.
      Every other day outside of late June to early September are cold, wet and uncomfortable.
