Answer 1

If it is extremely hot outside, keeping the sun from hitting your skin plus, your body sweat will create a natural barrier in-between the clothes and your skin which will be cooler than the extreme heat outside the clothes. This is why many desert dwellers cover themselves up completely. It insulates and because the body (although the human body can get hot) it won’t be as hot as the 110 degree weather outside.
