Thinking of in universe reasons for mages/witches/wizards to wear robes and pointy hats even though nobody else in their universe wears them.
They’re a kind of advertisement like old beer selling hats. This kind of outfit indicates that this person is selling some kind of magical service
They’re all in a cult that hates pants and tailored dresses
Some spells or rituals require them to get naked really fast for whatever reason
The order they’re a part of has existed since before people in the region made sewn garments and whenever talk of changing the uniform comes up there’s a riot
Everyone dresses like that to go to bed and magic users are always shut up in their houses wearing their pajamas
These assholes are constantly wearing their graduation robes to show off that they went to college
