This is probably a bad advice - As it simultaneously makes cold air feel colder.

Also, I'm not sure if there is an easy way to actually increase humidity without reducing the temperature. From my experience, increasing humidity while keeping the overall temperature at the same time requires additional energy.

Also, less humid air may allow you to actually wear less cloths as it is more difficult for the air to get energy off your body.

I think is true for places that have moist air already. But for colder climates a house with central heating the air often gets drier (even outside) than the worst deserts on earth.

So, in that environment adding moisture makes the air warmer. (with proper heating of course)
