If you think Greeks went around naked all the time, you're sorely mistaken! Olympic vases are not the same as every-day or warrior art. Sports, sure, oftentimes being quite naked would be most advantageous. But who in their right mind would want to be naked going into battle? You need as much protection as is reasonable. Not to mention being beaten all over by the sun is not great, either.

They probably used a 'sun block' olive oil to keep the UV rays out - wore Raybans too.
