The way bed bugs mouths are designed prevents them from penetrating through clothing.

So be sure to wear long sleeve shirts and pants or pajamas that cover your skin at night to prevent the bed bugs from biting you.

Bed bugs cannot bite or chew through clothing so as long as your skin is covered up they won't be able to bite you through the clothes unless they get under your clothing.
