Let's face it -- no one wants to look like a hot mess, especially at the office. Whether you nervously sweat before a big presentation, battle a commute that leaves you drenched in sweat by the time you make it to the office, or suffer from hyperhidrosis (an excessive perspiration disorder), finding work-appropriate clothes that wick away moisture is imperative.

Luckily, we live in a time where technology is advancing and many businesses have adopted "business casual" dress codes. From dress shirts created with the same materials NASA invented to control astronauts' body temperatures in space, to iron-free button-downs, to commuting collections made specifically for those in need of sweat- and wrinkle-proof workwear, these 11 clothing brands are designed to keep you looking good, feeling cool and staying dry all day long.

Untuckit

Made from moisture-wicking, antimicrobial fabric, Untuckit performance shirts (available for men and women) keep you dry, comfortable and cool all day long. The nylon-spandex performance fabric helps to bring sweat to the surface so it evaporates faster, while also keeping your shirt wrinkle-free. Unlike some dress shirts, Untuckit's performance shirts are machine-washable, making laundry a breeze.

Made from ultrathin, cooling fibers, the pieces are breathable and lightweight. Opt for a business casual polo shirt, or layer one of the T-shirts or tanks under your favorite button-down. Uniqlo also makes women's basic tees, tanks, bras and underwear with the same AIRism technology. No matter what you do, you'll stay dry all day.

Lululemon

There's a reason Lululemon has a cult-like following of dedicated shoppers. Its activewear is made from performance fabric that feels like butter, combined with technology that wicks away moisture and keeps you odor-free. But Lululemon offers more than just workout clothing. It has also designed Office Travel Commute collections for both men and women that have tons of sweat-resistant pieces that are business casual. From men's shirts and pants to women's polos and pants, you're sure to find a stylish moisture-wicking piece that's comfortable and cool.

Nike

Like Lululemon, Nike has taken the sweat-resistant Dri-FIT technology from its activewear and applied it to business casual styles such as men's polos and pants. The Hurley Dri-FIT Worker pant is a classic chino that wicks away sweat to keep you dry, as does the Hurley Dri-FIT Lagos polo shirt. Nike also offers up styles such as chino shorts, T-shirts and joggers so you can go from work to play without breaking a sweat.
