I think its the older witches and wizards who have trouble keeping up
with muggle fashion or figuring out the clothes.  Being as is seems many
people in the WW live sheltered lives and don't see many muggles. 
However, more and more of the kids are turning up who are half muggle or
have muggle parents, such as Hermione.  These kids would most likely
wear muggle clothes and influence the younger wizards and witches a lot.

Also Arthur Weasley is a fanatic about muggles. Its little wonder he
would have kids wearing muggle clothes, rather then wizard robes.
