How can a skirt be on backwards?

I was talking to a female friend and she randomly says "hold on, I just realized my skirt is on backwards" and fixes it. She then keeps talking like nothing happened.

This is probably a stupid question, but how can a skirt be on backwards?

I really need to phrase my questions better. I was asking if a skirt actually distinguishes between the front or the back... apparently it does. Thanks.
