The pro tip that we had to give out in college for the newcomers to the ballroom team every semester to mitigate body odor:
Shower with soap
Apply deodorant with antiperspirant.
Clean clothes.
You would be surprised how many people in college don’t understand the nuances of these points. Or other basically accepted hygiene practices of the area. For example, cologne or perfume is not “deodorant”. Also, most things are not clean after you wear them (esp if you sweat), and dont become clean again until they are laundered. You may also notice we had to specify “with soap” for a shower.
The bit about antiperspirant is not strictly necessary, but nobody wants to put their hand near or accidentally in a sweaty pit.

Antiperspirant doesn’t agree with my skin, so I use a normal deodorant, but otherwise I fully agree.
