Does the room temperature affect how warm your clothes will keep you?

Answer 1

Any body at a temperature higher than its surroundings loses heat to the surroundings, and the rate of loss of heat is proportional to the temperature difference. Clothes provide an insulating layer around your body which tends to keep your skin temperature higher than would be the case without clothes, so you feel warmer, but heat is still escaping through the layers of clothing, and the lower the room temperature the more heat you will lose. So there must be some effect on how warm you feel due to the room temperature varying. Of course you can always put on more clothes to compensate, but you exposed parts, face and hands mostly, will notice the lower room temperature.
