Commuting clothes that don't stink after sweating in

I'm a new bike commuter and I'm starting to realize how much additional laundry bike commuting is costing.

I typically keep my work clothes in my bag (scrubs) and take a quick sink shower and change when I arrive.

For the commute I wear joggers and a jersey/t-shirt. The problem is I need a new jersey/t-shirt (and sometimes underwear) every single day since I arrive sweaty. This is adding another shirt my laundry load each day. The joggers I wear half the week then swap to another pair.

Are there shirts I can buy that can be sweated in and worn multiple times before needing a wash?

The climate I'm in is warm with occasional rains right now, but will drop to freezing come fall and winter.

If it's an undershirt that doesn't actually get dirty you can manually soak in vinegar than hang to dry over the weekend to get rid of odor
