Nords like to call those "skirts" kilts, good friend.
Joking aside, it kind of makes sense for more skirtish lower body armor to be common in a cold place like Skyrim. Pants might seem more restricting for a race that prides itself in how well they do in battle like the Nords. Pants made out of such thick fur sounds pretty uncomfortable, as well. Imagine the weight some of those pelts probably have, as well.
