Sounds unlikely to me. We aren’t talking about a Mediteranean climate here. All the exposed parts woulda been frostbitten. Now there’s a fashionable look. We went to Stockholm in May, back in the 70’s and there was still snow on the ground in places outside the city.

Ahem.
"Their clothing was designed to be shown off indoors around the fire," says textile researcher Annika Larsson."
I sometimes find it helpful to read the article before posting....It says the clothes were worn near the fire. Not hunting Caribu in a slit skirt....
“Their clothing was designed to be shown off indoors around the fire,”
I’m sure they had big fur cloaks, wraps and coats for outside travel and they do have things called summers up there, too.

Please recall that Eric the Red et al settled and farmed in Greenland and the mainland of North America.
Their colonies died when the cold made farming impossible.
The climate was in fact much warmer.
My whole take is that the article is extrapolation of the barest of evidence to develop a graduate thesis.
Don’t forget. The world was much warmer in those days.
