This is a well known issue and it developed historically because of business wear (suits etc..)..

The reverse issue is also common -- you need to go from your house (comfortable) through the outdoors (freezing cold) into the mall. The mall is kept at a toasty temperature, which means you arrive wearing heavy cold-weather clothing and immediately overheat.

I don't see how this could have developed from business wear.
