Body odour is caused by the bacteria that colonize your sweat. By taking a shower just before you leave, you knock those bacteria back far enough to give you quite a few stink-free hours so that you should be able to make it through the work day.

Secondly, make sure you wear natural fabrics. Lycra and polyster and all of the artificial fabrics stink a lot worse than cotton or wool.

^ This is the line to remember. Synthetic garments indeed make me smell like a football team. Cotton or merino = no nothing (verified by GF and coworkers).
