I am being nagged about getting dust/saw dust on my clothing so I had better obey.
What tops do any one use to keep the saw dust away?
I must admit the damage come about by using the table saw and sanding.

Dust crawls into every seam. Every. Cant get it off. Brushing off with a suit brush is worth a try. But best and only way to keep her calm is to change completely. Much faster than brushing it is too. Even a shop coat does not help much because shoes, pants and shirt get their fair share of the dust. Believe me, she even finds the dust on the glasses and in your ears even after you showered and washed your hair.

I use low pressure air from the air compressor and a small blowgun.

I almost always wear a wood turners smock and a waxed canvas woodworkers apron while I am in my shop and I have an air compressor air hose and a battery powered blower by my shop door. Most of the time that works for me for going in and out of the house through the day. I do however change and shower when I am done for the day. A change of shop clothes is also a must have for me.

You can’t, Graham. Then you wouldn’t be doing anything! 
If there’s a trick (because there is no solution), it is to get as much of the sawdust into a vacuum as quick as possible; not on your clothes. That involves vacuum fixtures at your cutting device to get it as it gets cut off the wood; not an easy task but doable.
Its more important to get it out of the air, too. I use a fan/filter combo that reduces the airborne particles down to outdoor levels in about 30 minutes.
