People who are already naked will be used to it.

Everyone will be used to seeing naked people in public places.

Friends and partners of naked people will be used to everyone seeing their friend/partner naked.

The interesting bit for me is what happens when someone first becomes allergic to clothing. How do they feel about having to go out naked? They can see they’re not the only one, but they’re in a small minority. Hardly anyone they know has seen them naked before. If a man has a platonic female friend, how do they start to cope with her being naked when they’re together? If a newly-naked man is married, how does his wife feel about everyone seeing him naked? Does it make people more equal, so is a newly naked boss still seen as the boss? Is a newly naked low-level employee now seen as even more low-level? Or does being naked bring automatic respect, so is a newly naked low-level employee now gets treated better?

Lots to think about.

(When the experiments start being oversubscribed, it would be interesting to include someone who had never (as an adult) been naked before in front of anyone.)
