Just because you get plenty of sunlight where you live it doesn’t mean you get enough exposure to produce vitamin D.
You need to expose large areas of your body like legs, arms, and torso for several minutes to an hour. If those areas are covered, sunlight won’t do much.
The Sigma Nutrition podcast has an excellent episode on that: https://sigmanutrition.com/episode438/ https://sigmanutrition.com/episode438/
