Question
Is one permitted to wear Tzitzit over their body without a layer of clothing to seperate it from the body itself?
Answer
The Tzitzit itself has no Kedusha, so wearing it directly on the body is permitted. There are those who avoid doing this, in order to honor the Mitzva, but it is not an obligation.
