It may sound very fedoric to say but I don't get the point of wearing clothes in hot countries.
Here in Europe we wear clothes since centuries because the weather is bad and cold enough to kill you or at least make you ill if you go naked.
But in countries such as Brazil, India or Congo where the thermometer goes well above 30*C all year? Why do people bother wearing trousers, shirts and even coats there?
because everyone wants to be like Europeans

Maybe you're right. I'll wait an answer from someone who lives in these countries to be sure
basically "playing hard to get" m8, intelligent species tends to cover themselves to be more sexually subtle, needs balance between covered and nudity.
this is not the case where you covered your whole body in humid country tho, its basically because they have their IQ points on a calendar, pic related

Because direct exposion to sunlight for a long time is bad for you, duh.
In dry heat with intense sun clothing actually helps you keep cool.
To protect you from the sun

>the thermometer goes well above 30ºC all year
only in Rio and some other memeful palces, and not all year.
I live in one of the hottest parts of the country and the temperature rarely goes over 30º.

I don't think browns get sunburnt

Not in Europe, but at places where 40 celsius is normal in spring they do.

Speak for yourself.

Tropical rainforests like coastal West Africa aren't even that sunny, that combined with their black skins should be enough protection
Also UV is UV, doesn't matter the temperature, you can easily get sunburnt while skiing at -10

Maybe the whites in Brasil don't want to burn their skin.

Prior to Muslim influence, most Indians did not wear much clothing.
From keay's book-
"hat Hindu society continued to challenge the austere morality of both Islam and Christendom well into the fifteenth century is clear from the account of a Russian merchant. Athanasius Nikitin, a native of Tver (Kalinin) on the Volga, reached India in c1470, so barely thirty years ahead of Vasco da Gama. He too arrived by sea, but from the Persian Gulf rather than round Africa, and like other Gulf traders he brought horses. According to Polo, the Pandyan ruler of Madurai imported two thousand horses a year ‘and so do his four brothers’. They needed so many because of fatalities caused by the climate and unsuitable feeding; even if they bred, they produced ‘nothing but wretched wry-legged weeds’. By land to the north and by sea to the south, the import of bloodstock was India’s main extravagance.
Nikitin came ashore at the port of Chaul, about fifty kilometres south of modern Bombay (Mumbai). ‘This is an Indian country,’ he announces in his scatty but endearing memoir.
People go about naked, with their heads uncovered and their breasts bare, the hair tressed into one tail, and thick bellies. They bring forth children every year and the children are many … When I go out many people follow me and stare at the white man. Women who know you willingly concede their favours for they like white men."

How would you be protected of the mosquitoes naked in a hot country?
