Actually I knew a few elderly gay men that were around his age and they even would wear robes like Dumbledore lol yet when they were younger wore suits and such.
I think it's an elderly hippie/elderly gay man thing.
Not just a wizard thing.
But also it might of been the dress code. Obviously changed by him I mean he was a teacher before and wore suits. But later when he is head master him and everyone is in robes.
He probably was made head master than said first order of business NEW DRESS CODE!! All teachers must be in dresses I mean robes yeah robes this is not I dress no not like I like dresses or anything... So robes for all!
honestly there was probably a bath robe phase where there was nothing to get dressed for, but it was so comfy, so when he needed to start dressing up again decided to go down the fancy robes path
I wanna know how wizards had such a hard time dressing as muggles on the first chapter of the first book, when they have been dressing all the same in every sequel and prequel after that.
