The Daily Halacha Moment - Getting Dressed In The Morning
״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)
“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
How should one get dressed in the morning?
Answer:
In the Torah, holiness (kedushah) is central to a Jew's relationship with Hashem and the fulfillment of their purpose in the world. The concept of holiness emphasizes being distinct, set apart for a higher purpose, and aligning one’s actions with divine will. This is encapsulated in the verse, "You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy" (Leviticus 19:2).
That being said, It is important for everyone to act modestly whenever one dresses or undresses. One should not say, "I am in private and no one can see me." One must remain aware that Hashem is always watching. [1]
Therefore if one sleeps in the nude, one should not sit up and uncover himself he should try to put his undergarments on while he is lying under the blanket so that he will be clothed when he climbs out of bed. [2]
Whenever someone conducts himself respectfully because he wishes to show honor to Hashem, and displays his awareness that Hashem's Presence fills the entire universe, he gains the title of "One Who Honors God." And the Pasuk (Shmuel 2:30), "I will give honor to those who honor Me," applies to those people.

[2]. Shulchan Aruch 2:1; The Ben Ish Chai (Parashat Veyetzei 4) cited several rishonim who listed modest dressing as one of the Torah's commandments, whereas others listed it as one of the outstanding traits of Klal Yisrael, highly recommended by our sages. He concluded that we must take care to dress modestly since there are those who ruled that it is a Torah obligation. See also Igrot Moshe YD 3:47:3.
