How it's used
Carries a slightly more casual or blunt tone compared to the more neutral 脫衫. It often implies a sense of relief or urgency, such as getting out of restrictive work clothes after a long day. While it literally means to peel or strip, it is perfectly acceptable for everyday situations like undressing before a shower.
Examples
The first thing I do when I get home is take off my clothes.
