Loose clothing is better than tight clothing in that more air is trapped between your body and the insulating layer. In terms of general insulation the more porise- the more air is trapped within a material- a material is, the better an insulater it is. By creating a an area of air surrounding your body, you self-regulate that temperature twoards something more comfortable. The smaller that area of air is, the lower the required energy to heat it up will be and the air in that area will heat up quicker- but if the area is to small it does a poor job of insulation. The larger that area is, the more energy and time it takes to heat that area up... it does a better job of insulating, but the desired temperature is often unreachable preventing you from properly warming yourself. To find the best fit, most of us just layer ourselves in different amounts of clothing... but the real engineering is in that clothing where engineers analyze and test clothes so they do their job effectively.
