Why is it that wizards are commonly depicted wearing long robes and pointed hats?
(Rule 2 - Questions Thread)

The hat represents magickal gnosis. A wizard must be able to focus his will to a single tiny point, to be transmitted to the astral plane. The gnostic mind can also receive visions in the same way. The pointy hat is basically an antenna from the to the astral. Obviously you don't HAVE to wear a pointy hat to be a good wizard, but it's a convenient visual metaphor for what wizards are and what they do.
As for robes, it's because they convey a sense of sophistication and authority. Priests wear robes. Kings and queens wear robes during ceremonies. I realize this is somewhat circular logic, but it's the best answer I can come up with.

I'd say that they help in the magic process. Hat might be for what >>53296 said but I'd say robes help with magical power too. I'm not exactly sure of the magical properties of silk but wizards develop certain methods, rituals, techniques, as well as use certain items because they found them to help in the process.

Probably because they traveled a lot and went into the woods for mushrooms and herbs. Outdoors attire has changed.

pointy hats were used as social punishment so early witches and sorcerers were drawn with stereotypical witch/wizard hats to discourage pagan tradition and romanticism subverted this for aesthetic value

Fascinating, I just had to look that up. And here I thought a hat was just a hat.
I remember some of these hats from the middle ages artwork in the wiki link, but I never really questioned the history behind them because there are a lot of clothes out there. Just thought it was a regional thing.

Not all great wizards were depicted as wearing a hat. Snape never wore one and he was the baddest of them all…

There's literally nothing wrong with Wicca. It's a valid initiatory tradition along the same lines as Thelema, with various grades and degrees.
Solitary "kitchen witch" Wicca isn't real Wicca. That's just a scam to sell books.

You need to eat the beating hearts of men as you copulate with them, preferably by ripping them out with your bare hands. Once you have eaten 71 hearts you will become a succubus.

People have already chimed in on hats. Personally >>53296 describes my take on it.
Regarding robes. They help contain your energy so it's not flowing so freely everywhere so you can project it with greater intensity. From my research silk is a very unique substance, it acts as an blocker/shield for scalar waves (that's aetheric energy in nonscience terms). So if your robe was made of that it would further contain your aura, both for stealth and for concentration purposes.

The pointed hat comes from the dunce hat.

You can't.
You have to buy silk cloth by the yard and sew it yourself or get someone to sew it for you (and dye it yourself because high quality silk cloth is only sold white).
Sewing isn't very difficult to learn you just need to be able to cut patterns, hem edges, and connect pieces.

I find that hard to believe.
You can buy tanks and missile silos on the internet, there has to be at least one place that sells custom order wizard robes.

That qualifies as getting someone to sew it for you. just find literally any tailor and give them a design and cloth and they'll make it for you. You could of course find them online but then you have to pay for shipping and the price will likely be less fair.
tl;dr unless you live in a place with no tailors within 100 miles there's no reason to use the internet instead of a local tailor

Here ya go. As said, it's not too hard to sew. Ixquick it if you really need to.
>>65454
As with any magical item, having some one else get their energies all over all it by crafting it… It would make it more trouble than it's worth really, unless it was made by another wizard that you trusted.

As for the robes, yes it is used as a barrier, both for keeping the wizards magic inside the body and dont contaminate the exterior and the other way around.

I just wear large hooded sweatshirts
Drug rugs are my favorite right now
Hoods are often pointed, it's essentially a robe/wiz hat you can wear in public.

Wizard hats look like golden hats. Ancient hats found in Europe worn during pagan ceremonies.

Does things like Robe of the Archmagi exist IRL? Does being semi nude and slutty, covering your private parts only with fine jewelry, precious metal chains and/or revealing spider-web thin silk like stereotypical female wizards/sorceresses in high fantasy improve your magic potential?

The Kabbalists considered the tallit as a special garment for the service of God, intended, in connection with the tefillin, to inspire awe and reverence for God at prayer.
