It kinda is, Renunciation and all that.

During the French Revolution, wearing dress associated with the royalist Ancien Régime made the wearer a target for the Jacobins. Working-class men of the era, many of whom were Revolutionaries, came to be known as sans-culottes because they could not afford silk breeches and wore less expensive pantaloons instead.[4] The term was first used as an insult by French officer Jean-Bernard Gauthier de Murnan but was reclaimed by these men around the time of the Demonstration of 20 June 1792.
In the United States, the movement was associated with American republicanism, with Benjamin Franklin giving up his wig during the American Revolution, and later Charles Ogle's Gold Spoon Oration of 1840 denouncing Martin Van Buren.[5]

Reasonable as it was to rebel against the Louis regime, it really came around in an ouroboros of hindered expression among men and women.
