All the high schools around here wear gowns in the main school color. Boys and girls wear the same color, and have as long as I can remember (which is back to the 69s). My high school graduation gown was purple.

As for why -- it's tradition, it's formal looking and it's an equalizer. As AGDee says, the gowns aren't that expensive.
