Apparently this is a thing, and now it's pretty much being studied as some kind of phenomenon...

I started exclusively wearing long sleeves some years back. I just like being covered up. I don't like cool air and other sensations on my skin. Touching against surfaces with my bare skin... not ideal. I prefer to be covered, and warm all the time.
Sometimes just a long sleeve shirt is enough, but even then I get cold. Doesn't matter if it's the middle of summer.
Cardigans, jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies... they're indispensable items of clothing for me.
That article seems to paint things as mostly psychological, and I can understand that to a degree. But I really think it's about temperature comfortability too.
I think some people choose warmth for the sake of evolution. Staying covered up improves survival for a number of reasons.
