I'm looking for just the right word...

What adjective correctly (and tactfully) identifies clothing that has been worn and is ready to wash?

I like to use the word "fresh" for the clothes I'd put on after a shower, but "stale" implies an odor. "Old" connotes out of style or of little remaining value. "Used" can describe the freshly washed clothing you'd take to Goodwill. "Soiled" and "dirty" imply a stain (or worse, if it's underwear).

Is there 'le mot juste' to describe your dress shirt after you return from church and change clothes?
