Actually they are not anymore.
You might remember spacesuits used during the project Mercury to be shiny silver, but all spacesuits designed since the 60s have a flat white outer covering.
Retaining heat is not an issue in a spacesuit, quite the opposite. All the heat generated by the human body must be removed from the suit. All spacesuits have a cooling device built-in and there is very little if any ability to heat the suit. Usually there are little heaters in the fingertips but that's about it.
