aerodynamically speaking, it stabilizes his flight when accelerating or decelerating.
aesthetically, it makes it more likely for people to say, "it's a bird! it's a plane!" and not "it's an insect!"
practically, it hangs below the stall walls so you'll know not to disturb him when he's reading the 'daily planet'. and if there's no toilet paper there...

In the comics it helped to detail flight, direction, as well as possibly speed.
Also, in the periods where the costume is made of a Kryptonian fabric or a kevlar like product, he can use it to protect people he's carrying.

It makes him look FABULOUS!
Maybe he used it to clean up when he's done giving it to Lois Lane.
