Finwitch:

We met old Archie during SUMMER.

I'd expect that what a wizard or witch has under the robes varies by 
what temperature/practicality dictates.

And about the cold -- well, I saw this man in news during a very cold 
weather, and all he was wearing were bobbler hat, mittens, shorts, 
socks and shoes - while pushing snow away from the drive-way... some 
people just feel comfortable in light clothing no matter how cold it 
is. (I don't, but...)

Who knows, maybe Archie only wears his robes for modesty in public 
(at his wife's insistence?) and is totally naked otherwise...

And anyway... I'd say they *can* pull on the robes first and take 
their jeans (and whatever) off *then*, beneath their closed robes? I 
remember changing underwear/swimming suit under a dress several times 
myself...

Mind you, I think that Ron used that 'changing' as an excuse to be 
politely rid of Hermione for a moment...
