Finding solutions from history

I have recently binged a lot of content from Bernadette Banner and besides the fact that historical fashion often had generous pockets all women’s clothing- I was really struck by how the industry was so much more sustainable. In particular, a video debunking the myth that people in the past never bathed and thus everyone must have smelled, detailed the use of linen undergarments. They soaked up sweat, exfoliated the skin, and protected fancier outer garments. As a very sweaty person, this sounds amazing! Besides adopting a 19 century wardrobe, does anyone have suggestions for applying this to modern day? Besides just being a sweaty person, I often feel uncomfortable and hot in multiple layers (even in winter I am constantly adding and removing layers throughout the day). I also feel like this us something that could be more easily applied to mens fashions but popular women’s styles are designed to be as difficult possible to accommodate such a thing. Thoughts? Also, link to the video for those interested: https://youtu.be/EZGxuNre8XU?si=0mnIviANfKuL8IuI
