You've "been told"? And you just accepted it without question?
e always depicted in a full dress - how accurate that is to history, I don't know. By the time Celts occupied Anatolia as Galatia, there was already contact with China for them (IIRC as per claims in a doco I watched), so hard to tell whether any pants that might have been used in SE/E-European regions at that time would have been a local innovation (I have not heard of them using pants, the opening is merely to allow the supposition).

From reconstructions that i've seen , sumerian(babilonian)garments were very similar whit the saree including the ornaments(like all over dots)
and colors.
The celts ,germans thracians,dacians,sakas and their priests were depicted by greek-romans sculptors as wearing pants.Even the roman name for pants -braca ,is of celtic origin.Im talking of continental celts not those from isolated islands.
Celtic gods are also depicted whit pants so i doubt that druids wear white robes .Mithra ,dacian and saka priests also wear pants not robes.
Before bronze age ,europeans wear a kind of long socks(similar whit pants) but whiteout the upper part.
And we know that for long time ,it was forbidden for womens (except China maybe) to wear pants.
For this reason,the pants become a symbol of women emancipation.
