When should one dress in Shabbat clothes — immediately after bathing or at some other time?
Synopsis
The Rema rules one should dress in Shabbat clothes immediately after bathing, and therefore one should bathe close to the evening. The Mishnah Berurah and Aruch HaShulchan both clarify this applies to bathing at home, but going to the public bathhouse should be done earlier to avoid Shabbat desecration.
