Perhaps the 'pants' issue isn't all about modesty. Perhaps many view pants as distinctively male clothing, and dresses/skirts as distinctively female clothing, and therefore they conclude that women ought not to wear pants, and men ought not to wear dresses/skirts.
As for modesty, whatever a person wears ought to be modest, meaning it ought not to accentuate the form so as to draw undue attention to it, whether pants, skirts, dresses, or whatever.
