Are you wearing spandex and polypropylene clothing? They get a lot of flack from shy people, but it's also functional in that such gear doesn't hold nearly as much moisture as cotton/wool.
I do wear some synthetics but I'm trying to reduce my usage of those items due to the known environmental impacts and suspected health implications of wearing plastics for extended periods. Cotton/wool are my next-to-skin materials of choice atm, which means much slower drying times. But that being said, cotton/wool doesn't smell nearly as bad as synthetics after athletic use. I may be expanding my wool collection, but that stuff just costs so much.
