To ask about your WFH wardrobe?

[GoodMorningLondon]

Do you make an effort? What do you wear?

I would feel silly wearing a full on work dress on Zoom (sad that they have hung in my wardrobe for 6 months!) but I do like to make sure I’m wearing a nice top, jumper, jewellery etc. and always have a bit of make up on (not as much as I used to in the office!)

Looking for some ideas of other outfits that are both comfy but will look nice on video!

I know some people might not care but I’m in a senior corporate role and used to pride myself on always being well groomed, fresh and put together in the office - I can feel myself slipping into just lazy clothes as we go into winter! I find just putting perfume on makes such a different to how I feel!

I am not working from home but DH is. He wears lounge pants and t-shirt most days. Occasionally he puts on something loud like a Hawaiian shirt for video calls and sometimes he wears a hat.

Nooooo. I am a lawyer and I am sitting right now working in joggers, a hoodie, slippers, no make up and my hair needs a wash. Not having to get properly dressed is the best thing about wfh!

I do make myself look presentable if I know I have a video call, but most of my work with clients is over the phone.

I have started going back to the office 2 days a week though and it is quite nice to get dressed in proper office clothes after 6 months of this very casual ensemble.

Charity sector - always pretty casual dress anyway but now i am mainly wearing pj bottoms and a variety of t-shirts on calls! No make up and hair thrown up.

I have two modes of dress for every occasion (except black tie), smart casual, or lounge wear. I switch between the two depending on how many video calls (and with whom) I have.

Few, or internal only calls: I'll wear harem pants, a silk shirt over a camisole, woolly socks and leg warmers (don't worry, no one can see the leg warmers, it I bloody love them).

Many or external calls: black dress from Cos, jewelry, bright tights.

I always have a shower because I'm a grease monger and look minging if I don't.

PJ bottoms and T-shirts. I only make an effort (i.e. PJ bottoms and a nice top) for client meetings.

Office tops, pyjama bottoms.

Black leggings for me, a warmish jumper, then i have a big cosy coatigan and boot slippers. Im always freezing so its warmth and comfort for me. I let my hair air drybas well and wear no makeup. But will make an effort if i know i have a video call but thankfully they're rare!

Leggings and hoodies for me when I can be arsed to change out of my PJs I avoid video calls where possible

I just wear casual stuff - usually a t shirt and comfy trousers.

I have refused to have my camera on since about April, but I generally look acceptable as I always get up and shower and get 'ready' before I first log on. I don't judge those who shower mid way through the day - it just isn't in my nature.

My colleagues all seem to dress similarly to me.

Just normal clothes - jeans or something stretchy, t shirt jumper or hoodie, fluffy socks. Don’t get the angst tbh.

Yep that’s me too. I shower every morning but have only worn make up and blow dried my hair a handful of times since March!

@MyNameForToday1980.

Leg warmers... I stand transportation to my teenage years. Thank you for that! 😊

@GoodMorningLondon.

Leggings & t-shirt. But no client calls. If I did I'd just sling a linen shirt on top of (or instead of) my t shirt & re brush my hair (looks a mess after 5 minutes) they'd die of shock if I wore make up!

Leg warmers are brilliant @mjmg2015 I wear them most days from September to April... They seriously keep your whole body warm. And they're pretty joyous to wear. I often look down at them and think "I really love these leg warmers" (little things, eh?).

Just me who seems to have constant video calls??

I find I feel so much more ‘on it’ if I’m wearing something nice, even if just a new jumper. I wear perfume every day and always make sure I’m showered before I log on.

Good to hear most people are dressing comfy too!!

Uniqlo do thermal legwarmers - lovely cosy feet and ankles abound! Other than that, jeans/jeggings and a jersey top or fine knit for me....

I need to get some leg warmers!!

I wear what's comfortable. At the moment, that also includes what's warm, as I don't really want to keep the central heating on all day. I only try to smarten up my top half if I'm on a video call, and even then that might just mean putting a jumper on. I'm certainly not wasting my expensive perfume when there's no-one around to smell it.

I love leg warmers too. I'm intrigued as to how you wear them with harem pants though? (harems are another of my most-loved clothing items).

Personally I'm freelance and have worked at home for years, usually in pretty slobby clothes like leggings and a long T-shirt or jumper. Even I have felt the urge sometimes since Covid times to put on something a bit smarter though, just for variety. I wear perfume often because I find I miss it if I don't. And I try to wear jewellery, if only because I have quite a lot and don't like to think of it just sitting about instead of being worn.

I just like smelling perfume on myself Maybe I am weird!!

I work in tech, so it was pretty casual anyway even in the office - so I just wear what I consider normal clothes - jeans, jumpers, t shirts/nicer tops, cardis, denim shirts, casual dresses, sometimes a skirt. The same stuff I wear at weekends.

I do gravitate towards jeggings a bit more often than stiffer jeans though

GoodMorningLondon, if so then I'm weird too! I like wearing perfume and feel that I 'smell naked' without it.

PJs.

We’ve been told to turn or cameras off to save bandwidth. So it doesn’t matter.

Though we are a casual dress office, so I wear jeans, leggings or walking trousers to the office.

I’ve even been in to the office in my pjs a time or two. It’s a 24h site and if they want me to fix something at 3am, I’m not getting dressed!

I have to appear on camera most days, so on those days I wear make up and a reasonable top although they can't really see it and I've found even black jogging top looks quite ok! I also wear perfume for my own sake. On days I don't appear on camera, I wear no make up and slobby clothes.

Fairly senior professional here.

Slippers. Leggings. Vest. Comfy jumper (a Disney one today, to add to the lack of professionalism). No makeup. Dirty hair in a bun.

The only thing that changes is whether I've washed my hair or not.

No video calls here. I am freshly showered every morning, have done something to my hair. No makeup but always have tan on, nails done etc. I am sitting here in a hoody and work out leggings.
