world would not. This is also supported by a quote from the first

I must say, IMO, that the wizards and witches seem to have a wide 
variety of tastes when it comes to "fashion".  Some wear total WW 
clothing, some muggle clothing and some a combination.  Sort of "to 
each, his or her own".  I still say if you are going flying on a 
broom, you need something under those robes or it would get mighty 
breezey!  Also, you would have very little "mystery" left about 
you...  LOL!  I noticed the Quidditch teams had the good sense to 
wear trousers with their uniforms!
