When Macbeth says "Why do you address me in borrowed robes?" he is questioning the witches' ability to see the future and their authority to speak to him in such a way. He feels that their power and insight is not truly their own, but instead borrowed or illegitimate.

What does Macbeth mean by why do you dress me in borrowed robes?

He has been called Thane of Cawdor. But as far as Macbeth knows, the Thane of Cawdor is a "prosperous gentleman"; he is not aware of the events in Fife described by Ross in the previous scene where the Thane of Cawdor was revealed to be a traitor and captured by some other Scottish hero. The word "robe" here is a metaphor for a title. Macbeth asks why they are calling him by someone else's title, like dressing him in someone else's clothes.
