I think a big part of it began for survival. Since take this for example those living in colder environments after we lost our dense hair across our bodies. They had to wear things made from pelts. To sustain life in colder regions. Same goes for warm environments. The important areas of the body. It’s better to wear light clothing than get sunburn. Mainly if you don’t wish to go through the adaption to not need clothes. That’s gonna take 1000s of years of blisters, sunburns and more.
Beyond that. Let’s say you didn’t wear a shirt. Most times. People wear pants/shorts or something on their lower half for modesty and not to have their dick swinging. I mean have you ever thought how much of a nuisance it’d be. If you were running the jungles or forest with nothing holding that in. You’d slap that shit on trees, bush and sticks. That’s not fun. Alongside the bugs and more.
Now people here have mentioned hypothermia and myself. I can wear limited clothing in -1F. Barefoot shoes, Shorts and Tshirt enough to maintain a good balance.
Well, thousands of years ago my ancestors came into this place for some fucking reason, and noticed that being naked and hairless means you’re cold at almost all times, save for a few exceptionally warm days in the summer, and in summer, you’d get sunburn or skin cancer, and be covered in ticks and mosquito stings.
They decided to fix their furlessness by wearing the furs they got from the animals they ate, and later discovered spinning, weaving, and sewing. As time went on, being naked became a taboo, and thus people kept wearing clothes even in occasions that don’t require it.
And clothes do tend to have meaning beyond just protecting you from the cold and the sun and bugs. Style and social status.
Why the fuck would octopuses have to wear clothes?! Come to think of it… why do humans have to wear clothes?

If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?
If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?
