No one ever teased me for wearing sweaters and of course I wear the same set of sweaters in all relevant seasons

Lol maybe it’s an American thing. Has to do with the bizarre attitude that liking cold weather and getting out in it, and not wearing too many winter clothes is a good thing.
I have friends who only wear vests, T-shirt, and jeans, in winter. No full coats, no layers, no boots and just tennis shoes . They do it to look cool I think.
Guys are even worse about it. They wear shorts and short sleeves!

Winters in Missouri can be long with temperatures ranging from mildly to bitterly cold. Kansas City's January daily mean temperature is 26 °F (−3 °C) and St. Louis's is 29 °F (−2 °C). The coldest temperature ever recorded in Missouri was −40 °F (−40 °C), set at Warsaw on 13 February 1905. Winter also tends to be the driest season, but typically yields significant amounts of winter precipitation. Snowfall averages 20 inches (51 cm) in the state's northern region, and 10 inches (25 cm) in the southeast. During the winter, northwest winds prevail; the air movement is largely from the south and southeast during the rest of the year.[20]

I know.
That’s because no one goes outside. They don’t leave their cars for more than a few minutes.

I rather walk, bike and use public transport, so I definitely prefer my clothing comfortable and adequate to the weather. But European cities are organized a bit differently from American ones, from what I know, much more usable without a car.
When I just e.g. go out with the trash, I can wear a T-shirt and sandals in the winter because I won't have enough time to get cold. I even developed a technique of walking in deep snow in flip flops

Yes people have made similar comments to me. I'm not sure it's just an American thing because I recall similar remarks in Ireland. Though in businesses there they keep it really hot, so in those environments I'd take layers off more quickly. But in people's houses it's usually colder.
I chalk it up to being an intrusive thing that basic people, who have nothing else better to do, say.
