    Heat is transferred from hot temperatures to cold temperatures. The temperature of wet clothes is generally lower than the temperatures of our bodies, and so our body temperature lowers because of this hot to cold heat flow.

    Answer:Well, our human bodies have a system called homeostasis, where it automatically adjusts to surrounding changes by altering a few processes in the body.

    Explanation:When we put on wet clothes, thermoreceptors in our skin sends impulses and signals to the brain and trigger a response called thermoregulation. A process that is responsible for bringing back the body's temperature to its normal 37°C which is the optimal temperature for enzymes to take place.

    And when the body's temperature decreases, the process of thermoregulation will automatically change or activate a few processes in the body to conserve heat. Examples of this include: Vasoconstriction, the contraction of the erector hairs in the skin, and the shivering of bones all in an attempt to conserve heat.

    So to conclude, unless a human is placed in extreme temperatures, the body temperature will not decrease because of wet clothes. The body's temperature remains at 37°C when you wear wet clothes, as thermoregulation adjusts your body temperature back, which is why you will feel cold.
