Now me (Cindy):

Hello,

I am coming out of lurkedom to comment a little on this -
I believe that Prof. McG. was in muggle clothing because she was in disguise. 
she was disguised as a muggle, working for the Order - so that she could spy 
or gather info. undercover.
I also think that pureblood wizards do not make a habit of wearing muggle 
clothing, that is why I believe that in the books (not the film) Snape only ever 
wears robes ad cloaks.
