What's your work-from-home outfit?

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 πŸ˜‚

I wore my pyjamas all the time. The best time!

Last night's boxers and tee shirt. Add sweats if it's chilly. Add shorts (short pants, you Brits, not more underwear) and shoes before walking the dog. Shower if going someplace where smells may be inappropriate. Ditto for shave.

Fall-Winter: Jeans, t-shirt and maybe a sweatshirt if I'm being particularly spiteful with the heating bill.

Spring-Summer: Shorts, t-shirt and/or tanktop if I'm being particularly spiteful with the cooling bill.

I wear exactly what I'd wear to the office.

I do the exact routine is do if I were going into the office: wake up at 5:30a, browse internet while eating breakfast (the misses and 3 little girls are so sleeping, it's quiet πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ), put away dishes from last night's dishwasher run, make a cup of tea, go upstairs brush teeth, do hair, briefly chat with the misses, put casual street clothes on, sit at desk and start working. Work from 630-230.

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)

I sure do and I'm here with a handy link as well!

uniqlo.com/us/en/women-drape-strai...

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...

Tshirt & shorts or yoga pants. If I'm working out at lunch I usually put on my actual gym clothes in the morning. If I have video calls I get myself presentable.

Definitely maybe not as formal as in the office, but I try to avoid pijamas and actually dressing up for work. It keeps me in the mood for productivity.

I usually lie in shorts on the bed and on the belly I hold a laptop ,-)

I work remotely, so it goes day after day.

Comfy pants and nerdy t-shirts :) But I do make up, that makes me feel better. The make-up sort of represents the "ritual" part of getting ready.

I’m not ashamed to admit that it’s pajama bottoms and a dress shirt top. I let my coworkers think I’m pulled together, but I want my legs to feel like it’s the weekend.
