I think it's fashion and the times. When the Marauders were in school,
the WW was much more separated from the MW. Hence, traditional robes - no
muggle trousers or skirt underneath. (I agree they must have had some
clothes underneath, at least in the winter; snape was probably
near-commando in the Worst Memory b/c it was springtime - too hot for
trousers.) Since the last war, the MW and the WW have converged a bit
more, so at some point, wearing an overrobe over Muggle or near-Muggle
clothes came into style. 

Or, Hogwarts' dress codes have just relaxed. The Marauder gens always
wore Muggle clothes out of school, but it wasn't until recently that DD
(or, more likely, McG) decided to change the dress code regs.
