I do. (The number of layers varies with the temperature.)

May I ask the opposite question?

Why do many people change outfits almost every day? Do they derive satisfaction from the process of choosing clothes? Or do they derive satisfaction from the fact that other people notice these changes?

As you point out, choosing and owning different outfits comes at a cost, and people who choose to do so must have a reason for this behaviour.

Some people just like dressing up. Other's like to feel confident and they choose to take that confidence from their choice of clothing. Whether this is a good or a bad thing is another discussion.

So yes. "Most" people are superficial in the sense that, given that they look good, they are more likely to feel confident. I personally think that one shouldn't have external influences as a source of confidence (as that can be taken away) but that doesn't say that a lot of people don't feel that way.

Sometimes you just want to feel pretty, I figure.

On top of that, fashion is all about context. If I wear leather shoes I am dressed-up more than 99% of my peers. However, if I wear leather shoes in ... let's say Paris, I'm just one of many. Fashion is all about context. Imagine Steve Jobs going to a black turtleneck and dad-jeans con ... lol

Well, you're going to change clothes every day, so why not add some variety? Plus different outfits for different contexts, of course.

I like to match different colours and materials, it's fun to try new things and styles. After a while you will learn what fits together and what don't, and then you can start experimenting even more
