The environment outside is generally inhospitable across much of the world. You might be fine as a nudist wandering around the African Serengeti (assuming you are black) but you wouldn’t enjoy it in Greenland for example.

Clothing protects us from the weather, trapping heat and shielding us from the harmful effects of sunlight which can damage our skin seriously. Sunburn isn’t just something Caucasians experience, having something between you and the sun can be a necessity in many parts of the world.

Wearing various garments can also help with certain kinds of activities. Holding tools is something clothing can do, as well as being additional physical protection against hazards. Walking through brush is much more comfortable with long pants than if your junk was hanging out, and if you think being saddle sore is bad think about if you were nude!
