We also didn't see any Klingons wear a hoodie but no one is outraged Jay-Den is wearing one.

Why would a Klingon wear a Scottish kilt?are those images from Qo'noS or Europe?
I understand what I think they were trying to go for, like a traditional Scottish kilt, but then perhaps wardrobe should have made it more resemble that , the current one looks like he is dressed for a 1980s costume party.
"LIKE" a traditional Scottish Kilt, as in same lore/mythology, but a Klingon Kilt would probably look more bad ass than an 80s themed mini skirt
that's silly too..but only my opinion

They were like 600 - 700 years in the past, and also not members of a newly-rebuilt Starfleet Academy. If I told you that, in real life, a man in the year 2600 might wear a gaudy pastel skirt on a Mars colony, would you be like "no, that's not possible!"
To be honest though the reason I can buy it is that Starfleet Academy of the post-Burn era seems to model itself off 80s American high schools to an absurd, inexplicable degree, so the sight of someone wearing a tacky skirt is pretty much on-brand.
It's part of the Academy uniform. Seems to be the same skirt as SAM and others wear."LIKE" a traditional Scottish Kilt, as in same lore/mythology, but a Klingon Kilt would probably look more bad ass than an 80s themed mini skirt
What "lore/mythology" do Scots and Klingon share that they would have similar fashions? They going to wear tam o'shanters too?
I don't know you tell me, someone else posted European fashion from the 1200s so...
Probably as an example of how fashions change over time.
Why do some Star Wars characters, Doctor Who Sea Devils, and others wear kilt- or hakama-inspired fare? (Or others, each country and era in the distant past were probably unaware of any sartorial similarities?)
If this is based on an alternate timeline universe, then it's a completely nonissue - different timelines take different paths. In the Roddenberry-era, there was no such thing. Then again, Spock never had a half-brother (hated and deemed apocryphal by Roddenberry), adopted sister (written in decades after he'd died), talking toaster (just waiting to happen), barrel of fish (but Antedians will eat all its contents long before Spock goes into aquarium hoarding), or anything else either until someone write it into a script. The fun is making the additions feel authentic.
All that said, 60s-90s Trek was a bit parochial and narrow with treating alien species as being very samey for audiences, if not these fictional societies having a very stern code for which we've never seen what happens to those who eschew it. Whether or not direct metaphor and allegory could be done better, I dunno. Lots of species have bird watchers as a hobby. Even humans. And those bird watching clubs ran by humans have everyone of all human traits sharing the common bond of watching things fly in the sky. If they see something that's metal, photograph it. If they see something that makes a loud "oink" noise while flying, nobody's going to believe it. Etc. ?
There can be only one.

Probably, it looks similar to the skirts Genesis and SAM wear.
"Pretty quickly?" We saw men wearing skirts throughout TNG's entire first season. The only reason we didn't see it in subsequent seasons was because after the first, the skirt uniform (or skant, as was the official name) was gone after the first season, even women no longer wore it.
My goodness, that man needs to learn to color coordinate.
It's the same. I like that the new Academy uniforms are unisex in design. Good to see the loosening of heteronormative clothing standards have come back.
I always thought Marina Sirtis looked great in hers...
