I don't get any of it. Where it is common, no-one really notices. At the same time, I suppose there must have been good reasons why Man started to clothe himself. Movement out of Africa to more chilly places possibly, though that seems to have been a mighty slow move.
Much would be lost in a clotheless world, as it must have been by the twenties, when hems had lifted from the ankle -- my grand-mother would tell of how it was a thrill for a man to catch sight of an ankle (God knows how they survived when they finally got into bed!).
