Tops for WFH Calls on Camera

[VeryExpensive]

In colder weather my default options are solid colour cashmere jumpers. They look smart, comfortable, professional enough for client and colleagues calls, with make up and a little jewellery. Soft jeans on the bottom.

But I am a bit stumped for a warmer weather attire. What to wear on top? T-shirts are too casual, the shirts do not do anything for me sitting down, blouses are blousy (I do love the look of Love and Roses but do not own anything due to being polyester). To office I wear a blazer, but it’s overkill at home.

What does one wear to look polished? Would be grateful for conceptual ideas and specific links.

Silk t-shirt - cool, drape well, look smart - eg https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-silk-relaxed-short-sleeve-top/p/clp60489447?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

How about this?

I have several different colours

Obviously I am taking the piss with the above post. Who is spending hundreds of quid on these suggestions

I WFH and have a more casual approach to work wear w- in this weather its Tshirts or summer dresses

@KarenOnTour . I wouldn't pay £4.64 for it. It looks shit.

@KarenOnTour let’s see your really important business meeting options 😂

Second hand Hermes Scarf thrown on over any old t shirt for call purposes?

I’ll swerve the Hermes scarf … As a late middle aged woman in a creative profession the very last thing I want to do is give the impression that my awareness of fashion came to a halt in the early nineties. (When I had several and wore them everywhere. They’re still lovely for other purposes, I just won’t be draping one around my neck for Zoom meetings.)

it’s not comfort at all costs though. Stuff has look good especially clothes we wear for work.

@LlynTegid

she can’t have her camera off at meetings just so she can wear a shirt! It’s frowned upon by many to consistently have your camera off - it’s not very reciprocal or engaging

I like full sleeved tops that aren’t too low cut. I know you don’t like blouses but Esprit’s blouses have been really good for me. Cool yet warm and comfortable. I usually get them in the sale. Also, Lands End does some nice cotton tops.

Really? I refuse to put my camera on for external customer calls! I never had face to face meetings with customers before WFH so I don't see why they need to see me now! I grudgingly put it on for some internal calls but that depends on whether other people are.
