Wearing a kilt without underwear is commonly called 'going Commando' -
 referring to the traditional military way of wearing kilts.  (Or so 
I am told - in my family the men always wear the same under their 
kilts as they do under their trousers).  Despite seeing many kilt-
wearing men dancing and also marching in a blustery wind, it has only 
been during Highland Games competition I've ever seen a kilt blowing 
up to reveal whether or not the owner was wearing underwear.  They 
always were.  

If the wizard were wearing a real kilt (rather than a pleated skirt 
made of some tartan lookalike  fabric) then it will generally be too 
heavy to be lifted by a mere gust of wind.   Absolutely no need for 
disturbing pictures - mental or otherwise.

Cheers for now
