Especially for boys; it is not okay to wear the same pair of jeans and shirt for 7 days in a row. You may try to hide the smell of your sweat under branded perfumes, but trust me they persist!

Make sure not to wear the same pieces of clothing more than twice. Plus don’t delay your washing duties for too long. Do your laundries regularly with fresh and flavored detergents. The essences of such detergents are absorbed by the clothes maintaining their freshness throughout the day.

Feet are the smelliest, so keep separate shoes for gym and work. After work sessions don’t directly put the sports shoes inside the rack, rather keep them out in open to let the sweat smell fade away. You should also wash your shoes once in a while to keep them smelling nice.
