People USED to wear clothes to a. keep them warm because people don't have fur and b. protect their private parts from harm. The embarrassed feeling is because of the things implied when not wearing clothes. Hope that helps! :)

Well, the original purpose of clothes was for protection against the elements and warmth. Over time social norms formed as any social norm has. Fashion became a thing and people invest in clothing now. Also, we are embarrassed while naked because of silly social etiquette that was formed just as any other odd "normality."

They are a part of our identity, our culture and our social norms. Clothes set us apart from other species, and from nature. What's more, by signaling that we belong to particular social or political groups, they can also set us apart from one another.

I guess because boys don't want to see girls' vaginas and girls don't wanna see boys' penises?
In some cases, although this is really disgusting and I'm ashamed of society for this reason, this isn't true. :-&
