[Assassin's Creed] Why do the Assassins dress like Assassins?

It seems like being a whisper in the wind and an invisible blade in the crowd would be difficult while dressed in trademark robes. Why don't the assassins use less conspicuous garments while in the field?

They actually didn't. Remember, the Animus isn't a 100% accurate simulation of history, it's a representation of certain individuals' memories. Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward - being an Assassin was a huge part of their lives. In their own memories, they were always wearing their Assassin's robes, from the day they joined the order. Most missions, they dressed to blend in with the crowd.

The only exception to this would be missions in which they had to wear a specific sort of disguise (for example, one occasion where Ezio had to dress as a minstrel). Since wearing a specific outfit is an important part of that memory, it sticks out.
