At the beginning of the game, you pass ladies in dresses, dudes in shirts & slacks, and people in various uniforms on your way to the vault entrance. When you wake up 200+ years later, you find skeletons in those exact same vault suits, military uniforms, shirts, dresses, etc. In many other places, you find more remains that are nothing but bones and clothes.
This establishes that clothing (in this universe, anyway) can somehow survive over 20 decades of exposure to sun, wind, rain, radiation, and animals.
So what is up with all the plain old skeleton-ass skeletons? Are we to assume that there's some significant percentage of people in the Commonwealth that were running around butt naked (or were naked at their time of death at least)?
I thought about the possible explanation of looters and scavengers swiping clothes off of the bodies, but I've run into several cases of bare skeletons by themselves in rooms locked from the inside. What's up with that?!
*note: This isn't a serious concern, just something I thought was kind of funny
