| ==Proper dress for a man==
| | #REDIRECT [[Modesty]] |
| # One should be careful to get dressed under one’s blanket so as not to reveal one’s skin that’s usually covered. Therefore, if one isn’t 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 shouldn’t 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’s 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 that’s possible, however, Aruch HaShulchan 2:1 is lenient. </ref>

| # If one is getting dressed in a closed room one doesn’t have to be careful to cover oneself while getting dressed. <Ref>Kaf HaChaim 3:13 </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 and 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>

| ==Bathing==
| |
| # In a bathhouse where it’s common to walk around naked and it’s impossible to bath otherwise, it’s permissible. <ref> Halacha Berura 2:1 </ref> The same is true of when one bathes in a river. When one goes in to bath one shouldn’t 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>
