Because of their feathers they were almost no clothing. This because it becomes too hot.
They only wear clothes during the large gathering were marriageable women are presented. But their clothes are made from thin/light fabric.

A girl that would enter this gathering for the first time is called a debutante, and often they are ignored by the suitors.
