Well, yeah, Vulcans in Starfleet have always worn Starfleet uniforms, as far as we can tell, from Spock to Xon to Sonak to Saavik to Valeris (somewhat) to Selar to Vorik.
But before T'Pol was part of Starfleet, she was part of the Vulcan fleet -- a fleet that sent out a scoutship crew less than a century earlier in flowing robes. All the other non-Starfleet Vulcans have almost always been wearing flowing robes. Or if not that, business suits. o_O

Robes could be their standard issue uniforms of sorts, and the ship, or each of its occupants would own/carry these insulated undies, like Enterprise carries a complement of EV suits. My bet is that the crew of the T'plana hath(?-from first contact) wasn't wearing insulatory-roos, and therefore did not stay for a long time on Earth.
Or, perhaps the robes were a sort of dress uniform, for appearing in front of others of importance, and the suits were the standard duty uniform. I think the crew of the Vahklas in Fusion wore only the body suits, and no robes, probably because they were the " New Age" Vulcans who were trying to break old rules and traditions.
Or, maybe there are many types of catsuits. Standard ones that are just like a dress-down uniform, maybe some that are insulated, and even some that are thinner for hotter climates. IIRC, Tpol wears robes on earth in Broken Bow, when she was representing the Vulcan High Command. Perhaps when assigned to Enterprise long-term, she wore just the standard duty uniform to fit in with the crew a little better.
Am I making sense, or just uselessly rambling?

That would make probably the most sense. I theorize that they could be also worn on their own. Like we would wear a sweatshirt, with a Tee shirt underneath.
