In a way, perhaps. The reason is... Society decided what is acceptable and what is not.
I feel this may be one thing that Fodlan had the right of. Attire is largely determined by occupation. Practical concerns for mobility and safety come into play. Gender has nothing to do with it. As a mage it would be completely acceptable for me to wear what your modern folk would call a dress. (Though really mage robes are far less form fitting and detailed in an entirely different manner than most dresses.)
