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˜‚

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 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

Somewhere between the Hedy Lamarr and the Human Cat Condo. πŸ˜‚ I only put on suitable clothing when I plan on leaving the house at some point!

I'm always on attack mode πŸ˜‚ 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 🀞

I don't work from home, unfortunately. u.u
But if I worked, I would use the outfit I usually use at home: T-shirt, shorts and sandals. Too hot around here to feel comfortable with much more than this. hahaha

Happen to be working from home today. So the outfit is "sleepy pants", an old id software Rage t-shirt and a 2600 sweatshirt.

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. W-neck shirt

I am definitely also the sweaty optimist. I'd like to think some of my "better" clothes are my gym clothes. I like to wear quasi-fashionable sweat-shorts that make me feel like I'm kind of "putting something on for the day". There is definitely a difference between awful home sweatpants and the stuff I'd feel proud to wear to the gym.

...so sweaty optimist definitely fits my outlook on the situation πŸ˜„

I am the full caro. I tend to wear the same clothes as I would wear when I go to the office. Reason is, I don't want to feel too cozy because I still have to get things done.

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.

Right now, I only wear jogger shorts. In winter, I upgrade my gear with an extra piece for my upper body.
