Best Answer

Mostly for cultural reasons. In some regions, such as Saudi Arabia, the climate is very hot and they wear it to be cooler and more comfortable. The color of the "dishdashy" is usually white because white reflects heat from the sun. Some believe that prophets back in the beginning of Islam wore the same type of clothes and so they choose to wear the same.
