Pilots wearing uniforms at airports

hi guys

Just a question for my understanding - why do pilots NOT wear their uniforms at airports? I was at YBBN on Saturday morning and spotted quite a few pilots with their wings, caps, etc all hidden or tucked into their bags.

Is there a requirement to not wear them unless on duty or is it something more? (I'm not trying to stir...just understand as I pointed out a few pilots to my son who asked "but daddy, why aren't they wearing their hats?" and I wasn't really sure how to answer).

Thanks
