Stumbled across this article today and literally lol'ed: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/fashionable-outfits-for-working-from-home
I am the sweaty optimist 100%. In fact, I am in full yoga gear right now, as I'm typing this 😂

If I’m being honest, it’s usually a T-shirt and a pair of comfy joggers. I notice a HUGE difference when I actually put on something that I’d actually wear to an office like jeans and a nicer shirt (not a T-shirt). I need to do that more often but it’s so tempting to wear comfy clothes when you’re working from home!
Honestly half my wardrobe is joggers since I started working at a remote-friendly/casual company. And being a football player/crossfitter only further validates me lol
I wear work clothes when I work from home. As a freelancer, it's too easy to get pulled away from the work day by home life. I need the rituals like wearing work clothes to stay in the I am at work state of mind
I love this one! I also like to have a dedicated office in my home that is separate from my bedroom. This helps me stay in the zone.
Yeah, dedicated space is good. My home office is also the den/guest-bedroom, but it's set up to be very distraction-less.
I love these outfits :D
I usually wear comfy home clothes, but not a bathrobe or pajamas ✨
Love it!
I treasure the days I work from home precisely because my brain somehow works on 300% when I am allowed to wear pajama-like clothes :-D
I used to totally just wear sweatpants - I had two pairs of sweatpants and I'd alternate them, with whatever random t-shirt I have. When it wasn't sweatpants, it was workout leggings which I still wear super super often.
Recently I found a nice pair of pants from Uniqlo that feel comfier than sweatpants but actually look nice - so if I get a bug up my butt and want to run out for coffee, I can just go. No time wasted in changing or angsting over "should I go out in my pajamas?" Hah. Now I have two of those, and two pairs of shorts from the same material. (Might I note that all of these have ~ * ~ POCKETS ~ * ~!!!!)
I wear slightly nicer shirts now - I bought a few merino wool shirts and holy comfort and temperature regulating, Batman!
(Oh yeah: and slippers)
Ooh do you know the name of the Uniqlo pants? That sounds wonderful
I sure do and I'm here with a handy link as well!

There are different prints on different listings, and they also have a jogger style. I have a pair of the joggers but don't like them nearly as much as the straight, wide-leg openings.
These are the shorts: uniqlo.com/us/en/women-provence-pr...
Awesome! Ordering a pair Friday
tbh this is what I was imagining when I came into this thread
the sweatpants, or the successful end to the years-long sweatpants search? hah
The former, but the latter works too!
Lol, the Half Caro is risky when it comes to remote meetings. You never know when you might absent-mindedly stand up.
For me, it's gotta be W-neck shirt, and shorts that are just a bit too long to be fashionable.
😂
Happen to be working from home today. So the outfit is "sleepy pants", an old id software
Raget-shirt and a 2600 sweatshirt.Depends on my day.
If I feel like I'm having a rough go of it, I'll doll myself up with a collared shirt, moustache wax, beard balm, and blow dryer so I at least feel good while I'm putting out fires.
If I know I'm going into the zone to work on a project, then a hoodie&&(sweats||basketball shorts) work just fine. Throw in some headphones and some music and I'll forget what year it is, nevermind what I'm wearing.
Sometimes in winter I will don a blanket and scarf if the heater just isn't cutting it.
And of course the sleeping pups I "wear" on my feet are a must for any situation.
Athleisure all day, everyday :)
I'm always on attack mode 😂 but is just because my face is all angry when I'm focused. The comfy clothes are awesome but putting some "serious" clothes when working always makes me feel prepared for a surprise meeting with my dream job recruiter 🤞
It varies throughout the day.
PY's when working before my son wakes up.
Day clothes when he does.
Which is workout gear if I have a fitness class later in the day, otherwise 50s swing - the same as any other day - if not.
I'm quite pleased that I can focus just as well (badly? 😀) whether I'm dressed for leaving the house, or just out of bed with a coffee...
