How to activate Mesh Renderers on Trigger Collission

Question

Heya!

So previously I wanted to activate every item that had the tag apparel, but this time I want to enable a Mesh Renderer when the player collides with a collider.

Below is my script:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class ApparelActivate : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public GameObject Apparel;
     public SkinnedMeshRenderer skinnedMeshRenderer;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start()
     {
         SkinnedMeshRenderer m = GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>();
         m.enabled = false;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         SkinnedMeshRenderer m = GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>();
         m.enabled = true;
     }
 
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
     {
         if (collider.tag == "Player")
         {
             //skinnedMeshRenderer.active = true;
         }
     }
 }

When I have the Mesh Renderers for each apparel/item/gameobject unchecked, as soon as I start the game, it enables the Mesh Renderers, so I know that function is working. I'm just a bit stuck as to why it's enabling immediately.

Thanks in advance!

This took a lot of experimentation, since for some reason, regular methods of activating objects would not work. I'll put a copy of my script here in case it helps anybody out!

 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class ApparelActivate : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] public GameObject gameObject;
     
 
     void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
     {
         if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
         {
             gameObject.active = true;
             Debug.Log("Received items.");
         }
     }
 
 }

Hopefully you won't have to go through the headache that I did!
