https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culottes : "The term can refer to either split skirts, historical men's breeches, or women's underpants; this is an example of fashion-industry words taken from designs across history, languages and cultures, then being used to describe different garments, often creating confusion among historians and readers."

  Comments:
"culotte" isn't accurate, and "culottes" (with -s) is a false friend because キュロット are always short, and "culottes" mostly refers to long bottoms.
School uniforms are the only time when Engl "culottes" = キュロット (because they are knee-length there), but otherwise "skort" is the better match.
