Ancient Greeks Wore Clothing

An art historian who knows how to get attention says that in the classical world men normally wore clothing. Something known to scholars if not the television watching masses since before there was TV to vegetate to.

In art nudity served various symbolic purposes and could convey either power or vulnerability. And, no, warriors did not go into battle without something to protect their bodies.

… Men strode about free of their togas in the bedroom and at parties called symposia, where they would eat, drink and carouse. Nudity was also common on the athletic fields and at the Olympic games. (Because there are so many images of Greek athletes, some lay people have assumed the Greeks were in their birthday suits all the time.)

Nudity was a costume used by artists to depict various roles of men
