" It doesn't say that they took off their jeans or T-shirts. So,
I'm willing to bet that the robes are worn over "normal" clothing --
i.e. jeans and T-shirts.

This confused me as they asked Hermione to leave 'while they got
changed'. Why was this needed if all they did was take off a coat
(jacket) and put on a robe? However, I have always assumed they wore
normal clothes with a robe on top. The only problem is that it must be
very hot in the middle of summer!
