[HPFGU-OTChatter] Grammar Question--Why Robes

Why is it a "pair of pants"? 

"Robes" is the outfit, all the parts are the robes, not just the part on

Okay, this has really been nagging at me and I just don't have an answer.

rather than "dress robe?"

Hopefully someone can give me a good explanation that makes sense.
