Vestimentary inertia

A tendency to resist changes in personal clothing habits to adapt to environmental changes, that often results in a seldom acknowledged sense of discomfort.

Examples

On the first warm day in spring one might feel too hot wearing a pair of trousers, where a pair of shorts would be more appropriate.

On the first cold day in autumn one might feel too cold wearing a summer jacket, where a winter coat would be more appropriate.

When the first snow falls, one might still be in the habit of wearing a pair of town shoes, where a pair of boots would be more appropriate.

When returning from a holiday in a hot country, one might feel too cold on arrival at the airport.

On holidaying to warmer climes in winter, a traveller's luggage is far too heavy because of the unnecessary wooly jumpers and long trousers, most of which are never worn (until said luggage is retrieved from the carousel at the wearer's home airport).
