Maybe Turians have velcroed clothes, or snappies. Imagine just giving a good tug and Garrus's clothes are on the floor.
Gah but then things like this lead me to thinking, "Well, why do they need clothes anyway?"
We wear clothes because (and this is just me guessing, I have no relivent degrees in whatever science this is, I'm just tossing this out there)
We have no fur? (best heat sink system on the planet)
We have tender bits that need protection?
Mobility? (Have you tried running w/out a bra when you're a D?)
So we don't start shagging everything in sight?
So, why do all the aliens wear clothes? Is it because otherwise we humans who play this game would get squidged out if there were naked aliens running around? (Which technically, the Hanar do, but they look like jellyfish so no harm in that I guess. OMG JELLFISH PR0N! /noooz!)
Probably for the same reasons humans do. Modesty, for starters. There are some things no one wants to see. Then, in the case of turians, they are from a very warm/hot homeworld. Places with a temperature comfortable to humans would likely be cold to a turian--and we don't even know if turians are warm-blooded (as far as I am aware). I'm thinking that turians also wear clothing for modesty reasons, though. If male turians use urinals (here's looking at you, scene that happens if you make Shepard overindulge in alcohol), and know that the groin is the place to strike on a male human (really, Garrus, did you
have to get Harkin where it hurt?), then I'd tend to assume that their private parts are located in the same general area as those of humans. Aside from this being reasonably good evidence in favor that Garrus and Femme-Shep do in fact have sex if you romance Garrus, they'd probably want to cover those parts of their anatomy to keep other turians from staring. I'm also assuming that male and female turians look relatively similar at a glance to humans (they probably have approximately the same torso build as they evolved from avians, which tend to have a large breastbone to hold the muscles that power flight), but they may also be covering up secondary sex traits. For instance, those spurs on their legs might be one such trait--which would be why they always put clothing over them, much the same as the majority of women don't run around topless in the real world.
I'm... not really sure why asari would wear clothing, except to look pretty, unless they too come from a very warm homeworld. After all, there are only female asari and they probably all look alike to one another, just as everyone apparently sees them as their own species (must be able to put some kind of mental suggestion into other species' heads--not sure how). I wouldn't think modesty would be a real issue to asari.
Drell seem to be built physically much the same as humans, though of course their "modesty" needs may be different--I've seen no evidence in their case and I haven't romanced Thane yet. In any case, it looks more like Thane is wearing clothing to show off than to cover anything. His clothes are tight and sleek and probably considered fashionable in the ME universe. So he's covering himself up while showing everything off. All the more reason to believe my theory that Thane is really out lookin' for love in his final days. Shepard's just convenient!
The elcor don't wear much clothing, but they all wear pants. Once again I'm assuming for privacy and decorative reasons--if they need no more clothing than that, then they have no other reason to be wearing it.
