Yeah, I've often wondered about the clothes myself.  First of all, 
I'm pretty sure it gets quite cold in the winter.  Surely they'd have 
something on underneath their robes, esp when they're going outside 
for Hagrid's class or to watch a Quidditch match.  Also, on the 
convers of the books (US) HP is in jeans and a shirt... while on his 
broom (SS) and on Buckbeak(PoA).  And while we're at it, these aren't 
children, these are teens.  I would imagine, with adolescence coming 
on, that it might be a good idea for young boys and girls to have 
clothes on under their robes!

Also, I've been thinking about all the adults at the World Quidditch 
thing who don't know how to dress themselves muggle-style.  Perhaps, 
being adults, presumably employed, but even if not, still surrounded 
by no one else but other wizards, etc., they maybe forgot how to 
dress like they did as kids.  I mean, they haven't had to wear 
anything except their robes for years and years (and they live so 
long!).  

Furthermore, the adults haven't had to mix with muggles in ages, 
whereas obviously some of the students at Hogwarts have muggle 
parents, so these kids certainly would be seen by the other 
students.  And as was mentioned earlier (I may have snipped it out, 
so sorry), the students did comment on their classmates' new clothes, 
hairstyles, etc. And in one of the movies, IIRC, doesn't Hermione 
have on a tie under her robe, a la private school uniforms?
