Why do homeless people wear so many clothes?

Why do homeless people wear so much clothing? They always have multiple layers of clothing ont. It wasn't especially warm today but it's not uncommon to see 'em on the corner with 3 jackets and a sweatshirt in 80 degree temperature.
I never see one walking around in shorts and a tanktop.
Why?
Discuss intelligently.

Because they're malnourished, possibly on drugs that effect the metabolic system and have nowhere to store their clothes and don't want to carry them around in plastic bags all day.

They don't have money to go clothes shopping(so no shorts or t-shirts) and if you leave your shit on the ground some other person might take it. So they wear it. My guess anyways.

Because they're homeless. When they begin living on the street they are given a secret set of homeless person rules they must abide by
That's why they all act and dress the same way

Probably because when they dress like that, you don't realize they're homeless.
The ones with a ton of clothes on are easy to spot, my bet is that there are a ton more homeless people than you think, they just dress better.

Well they only have so many clothes to wear and they aren't going to carry hangers. They probably donr want to wear it all but when it gets cold at night they will be glad they have them Baltimore is rampent with homeless/beggers its horrible to see because its hard to tell who's really homeless and who is scamming people. Its literally every corner in a large amount of the city and some of the surrounding area. I've seen a woman in the same spot everyday practically with one leg and she looks like she's a hippy and yet 20 feet away in each direction 2 men that most likely are scamers are taking this poor lady's chance at some change. Hard to tell what's going on but heroin and crack are some crazy substances to base your life on that's for sure

hahah this is such a heady question. Probably because its cold at night and they don't have a bed so they basically only have there clothes to stay warm.

Anyone notice that crack heads wear a lot of clothes too. Usually hoodies.
I once seen this girl I haven't seen in like 2 years. She looked rough and was wearing a hoodie plus more heavy clothes in the middle of summer. I jokingly asked if she was on crack and she said she was. I didn't know what to say after that.

I remember reading / hearing something that a hoodie is sometimes a sign of insecurity. As if they're trying to keep inexposed or shield themselves from the outside world. It might be a comfort due to drug-induced paranoia

Serious.
Crack heads and tweakers are usually found walking around (in the heat) with a big cups of ice.
I feel like kicking the cups out of their hands and stepping on the cups!

Most likely because methamphetamine/amphetamines dehydrates you. Tweakers gotta stay hydrated too.

Doubt it, it's probably protected by some law and would be considered theft.
