You should wear enough clothing to make you feel comfortable. If you are cold, wear warm clothes. If you are hot, take them off.

I don’t know anything else about your parents, they may be very sane and right about this. However, defying someone who tries to oppress you is important, even when it is a parent.
I know that’s not necessarily how you get sick, but my parents are very old fashioned and they whole heartedly believe that bundling up is the best way to avoid getting sick. I actually got sick a lot when I was younger, which is why my parents now make me wear so much heavy winter clothes.
