==Proper Dress for a Man==
#REDIRECT [[Modesty]]
# One should be careful to get dressed under one’s blanket so as not to reveal skin that is usually covered. Therefore, if one is not wearing a shirt to sleep, one should put it on under the blanket rather than sit up and put it on. <Ref>S”A 2:1 writes that a person should not sit up before putting on one’s shirt rather one should put it on under one’s covers. </ref>
# Similarly, in places where people walk around in socks and shoes even in the summer, if it is possible one should put on one’s socks underneath the blanket; however, some are lenient regarding revealing one’s feet. <ref>Mishna Brurah 2:1 writes that since in his part of the world people covered their feet even in the summer one should put on one’s socks under the blanket if possible, however, Aruch HaShulchan 2:1 is lenient. </ref>
# One should make sure to cover one’s body at least up to the breast bone and on one’s arms at least up to the elbow. Some are lenient regarding short sleeve shirts. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 2:1 writes that one should cover one’s body up to the breast bone and up to one’s elbows. However, Rav Nevinsal in BeYitzchak Yikra 2:1 quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman who was lenient regarding short sleeve shirts (see there). </ref>
# There is what to rely on to change in a bathroom stall without being concerned about one being temporarily undressed, since it is a closed private area. <Ref>Kaf HaChaim 3:13 </ref>
 
==Bathing==
# In a bathhouse where it is common to walk around naked and is impossible to bath otherwise, it is permissible to do so. <ref> Halacha Brurah 2:1 </ref> The same is true of when one bathes in a river. When one goes in to bath one should not cover one’s private part because otherwise it looks like one is covering up one’s [[Brit Milah]], however, upon coming out of the water one should cover one’s private part. <ref>Mishna Brurah 2:1, Aruch HaShulchan 2:1 </ref>
# When bathing or dipping in the Mikvah, one should be careful to unclothe and get dressed as close to the water as possible. <Ref>Otzar Halachot 2:3 </ref>
