Clothes, like jewelry, are a way of showing status. Without clothes, we'd all be (sort of) equal, and that just wouldn't do for the powers that be. Clothes cover up beautiful bodies so they are also a good way of ensuring that naturally beautiful people don't have too much power, which is probably a good thing because beauty does not confer wisdom.
Clothes impart and demonstrate status and humans love to accumulate status, probably even more than money, although the two overlap. It was only a few centuries ago that we had Sumptuary Law which forbade common people from wearing the fine clothes associated with the aristocracy. Amazing, but true. We might as well still have it because how often do you see poor people wearing fine, designer clothing from head to toe even though you can buy it cheaply second-hand on eBay or from a second-hand designer clothing store? Often it's cheaper than buying brand-new clothes from Walmart.
It's important that we always look deeper into humans do the things we do and history is good at answering these questions.
Another reason is that Western society came from Europe where it's too cold to go nude. Other cultures in hot climates, invariably primitive, have a lot of nudity. There are reasons why people from Europe became far wealthier and more technologically advanced than everywhere else (prior to the discovery of the New World) but I'm not here to write a book. Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond. It's a great read.
Is it normal that I hate people who are against nudity?
