I've been going on the assumption that the earliest known witches had to cast a lot of magic in a hurry before they'd finished dressing, and then had to spend so long convincing everybody who saw that no, being sans-trousers was a perfectly normal witch thing to do that it stuck.

That, or the rise of magic was reliant on the lack of the invention of shorts.
