My friend has reported an interesting change in her clothing choices over the last month or so. At the beginning, she was wearing casual outfits all the time but now she dresses in “business clothes” in the morning and changes into “play clothes” at 5 PM. Says it helps her make that separation between work and home in her limited space where she uses the same screen/furniture for both.
I’m wearing mostly pilates stretch pants and workout tops under a pullover or light sweater - loose and comfortable. I feel that since I’m doing a lot - cleaning out cabinets, vacuuming stairs, I want to look presentable, but stay comfortable. I put on light makeup in the morning and shower and dry my hair. My three kids plus SOs are here, so it’s a very full house and I don’t anyone to ask me if I’m okay.
I think it’s going to be a big transition to go back to regular clothes, but at least it will be summer, so casual dresses.
Long sleeve t-shirt. Underwear. Bra and comfy pants optional.
Being a retired empty nester with no really close neighbors gives me some leeway. 
Retired. I wear what I always wore on the weekends when not working. Tinted sunblock.
Athletic wear we frequently wear here all day (because you will eventually be walking or hiking long distances every day).
Merrill Moab hikers, ASICS athletic shoes, Keen sandals. I can wear all the above on daily 4 mi walks or hiking with no problems.
REI jogging pants, jeans or jean/cotton shorts, or REI skorts. Stopped wearing belts.
Prana or other shirts.
H loves HOKAs and Levi 501s or cotton shorts and polo or flannel plaid shirts/cotton colored tshirts.
Day 2 of upping my WFH dress game. Probably only motivated by the fact that the temps were in the 60’s yesterday and today which is warm for here1
Today I put on a casual short sleeved lightweight denim dress (not fitted, loose). Topped it with creme colored fishnet longer pullover sweater. Casual athletic shoes (non-clunky!) Nothing on my legs!!!
I wear athletic wear.
https://abc7news.com/6137585/ is a story about how a “Good Morning America” host dressed for the broadcast from home.
^^^ I saw that, too funny
When I work in the office, as soon as I get home, I take my bra off as soon as I walk in the door, even before I hit my bedroom. Now even though I don’t turn on my camera most of the time, I feel weird not wearing bra, long sleeve shirt and jeans or leggings. Always shower in the morning, I can’t function without showering first.
Today for the first time Since WFH I put my makeup on and curl my hair a little bc I had a 1:1 with my peer in England. He always insisted I had my camera on. I must admit it felt good to look good in the mirror, or maybe it’s his accent, idk. Lol.
Okay that was funny, but i’m confused—why are the GMA anchors sitting in a studio together? I thought everyone was working from home? (I’ve watched many of the late night hosts, and they are all at home.)
My jeans are super comfy-they have a bit of stretch in them. I’ve been working from home for 12 years-I get dressed every day and put on a bit of makeup, even when I’m home alone. I do a decent amount of video calls for work so I guess I’m alone but people do see me. I usually wear jeans, a soft sleeved t-shirt or turtleneck and usually a fleece jacket or v-neck sweater. I wear comfy cami type bras. Not binding but keeps it all locked down! Our house is old and cold all year long long! Sometimes I will wear my yoga clothes all day if I’m taking a class -or now that we are home all the time, if I am planning on TV yoga at some point in the day and want to motivate/remind myself that I am really going to do that yoga…The whole staying in pajamas thing-I understand they are comfy but it makes me feel like I’ve had the longest day if I wear pajamas all day.
Our home clothes are basically what pajamas - jersey leggings + tshirts, very thin fabric shorts for summer and thicker pants for winter - will be considered by people in the West. Generally, they are rather unflattering, ultimately supposed to be for warmth. Old “going out” clothes are also turned into home clothes.
I live with my European boyfriend and he finds it very bizarre to have this idea of home wear. He comes home from college, changes out of his work uniform, and sticks around in something casual, like jeans and a t-shirt, before he changes into sleeping clothes at bedtime.
t During Covid (which is also newly retired time) I have bought a few pair of leggings / joggers. (That includes one pair that actually required going into a real JCPenney store double-masked… I was feeling brave that day, tired of doing mail order returns due to sizing). The original intent was to use for running, but I wear them on non-running days too. Often I will wear leggings, sports bra and a long sleeved top that comes off when I do exercise video.
I started to wonder how many dry cleaning businesses will survive. Here’s my initial “research” from quick google check - Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
My work uniform got more and more casual over the years. I never know when I’m going to go into an attic or crawl under a deck, so I mostly wear nice jeans a long sleeved Tee or Henley, short sleeved in the summer. I have a collection of sweaters because I’m always cold. I have a couple of blazers/jackets that I think make me look a bit more dressed up that I wear occasionally. I hate leggings and sweatpants. I really only wear make up to parties. My hair is usually in a ponytail, unless I cut it short.
