> Clothes are above all something that warms/protects/hides us from the world. Aesthetic contemplations are really just an afterthought.

I think it’s the exact opposite. Would seem like the transition our species had made to require clothes in the areas we live came after we had the clothes needed to migrate to those regions. The first humans to strap leaves to themselves likely did so for athestic reasons not for warmth, that would have come later.

Though I’m no historian so this is just speculation.
