The description 'kilted' has a long association with rebellion against the social norms - although, admittedly, from the distaff side.

In several old English folk songs the young woman escapes the control of parents or husband and goes off to a new life, or she chase down a man who did her wrong with her garments/petticoats kilted up to her knee at a time when high class ladies wore skirts which swept the floor and showed scarcely the toes of her slippers.

So although undivided garments are the normal mode of dress for the majority of the Human race throughout history, to go kilted is to take the path less trodden.
