Why does it seem like desert cultures tend to cover most of their body, while tropical cultures tend to wear very little clothing? - eviltoast

Like, I know that desert dwellers do it to protect their bodies from the sun, but isn’t that also an issue in the tropics?

    I’m guessing that the fact that deserts can get very cold at night also has something to do with it. Due to high humidity, the tropics are warm around the clock, while deserts can have huge temperature variations.
