overclothed

Wearing excessive garments

Overclothed means wearing too many clothes for the situation—whether for the weather, the occasion, or the activity.

Someone bundled in a parka on a mild day is overclothed.

The word suggests excess rather than mere formality: I felt overclothed in my sweater while everyone else wore tank tops.
