This depends on the size of your vessel and the waters you are operating. A good starting point is to wear as little or NO cotton clothing as possible. Cotton is an evil thing when you enter the water. Wearing a polypropylene undergarments such as "Under Armor" is safer. You want to preserve body heat and wick the water from your skin. If you have the money to invest in a dry suit or immersion suit, that would be a great option, however they are out of the price range and practicality of the normal so-called "Boater".
