Why do you shiver when you are wet standing next to a pool?
The water remaining on your skin is evaporating into the air, and this removes energy from your skin, making you colder (the same way sweat does). If you wear a towel or a loose garment, some of your body heat will be trapped in an air layer next to your body and you probably won't feel as cold. Wearing a wet cotton shirt will still allow body heat to be quickly lost until you are dry again. Wet polyester (double knit) fabrics will still lose heat, but not as readily.
