Why are clothes considered essential for survival?

675 views

Clothing is considered one of the most essential things we need for basic survival, up there with food, water, housing, and healthcare. Those all make sense. But I’ve been naked for hours on end, many times before, and I’m just fine.

It honestly seems more like a social thing (e.g. public nudity is a social taboo) than anything that is scientifically linked to survival.

Saves calories through easier homeostasis(staying warm), protects you from sunburns, protects you from random scratches.
