Clothes after a sauna or a bath

Short answer: Wait until your skin is completely dry before dressing. Clothes on damp skin turn clammy at once and cool you down afterwards.

Why the body keeps sweating

After a sauna or a hot bath the body is still cooling down. It takes ten to fifteen minutes before sweat production falls back to normal. Dress before that and the clothes absorb all of it.

The order that works

Towel off, sit in a bathrobe or a towel for a quarter of an hour, and only dress once the skin is cool and dry. See bamboo bathrobes for men.

The clothes that suit afterwards

A loose layer that does not cling. Bamboo viscose feels cool and does not stick to slightly damp skin. See bamboo t-shirts for men and bamboo loungewear for men.
