La culotte (fem.) was at the time of the revolution the tights worn by noblemen. The revolutionaries did mostly wear simple cloth trousers, so they went to their business "sans culotte", sans meaning "without". The meaning of "culotte" today is different, as it is the name for female panties.
note: Culottes were knee-breeches rather than tights; they were tight, certainly, came to just below the knee.
