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 don’t think dry air makes you sweat less. It just makes the sweat evaporate faster, which also makes it more effective at keeping you cool.
