Yes. At first I'd still go through the rigmarole of wearing a dress, proper underwear, hair done to perfection.
Now I'm still clean and presentable but it's more likely to be a t-shirt and cardigan or if I'm talking to clients, a blouse and a bralette. |

I turned the camera off on my last one and said it wasn’t working. I had just got out of the shower so wasn’t dressed properly and had wet hair. You can get so much more done when they’re not watching you.

When I'm teaching, it's pretty similar to normal times - yesterday a knitted dress and tights. Today, leggings with oversize shirt and vest top underneath - I've worn such things to work before in the "real" world. The only thing I've really worn that's different to "usual" is if I stick a hoodie on to avoid putting the heating on. At work, I'd usually wear a smart cardigan instead. I wouldn't teach in the hoodie though or attend a senior management meeting with it on! |

In march of last year id get fully dressed, shirt, jeans all that...
Now i just throw on a clean t-shirt and have PJ bottoms on...
Occasionally i'll not wear anything on the bottom and send one of our managers a pic during the calls (she was my FB before lockdown, and we've still be sexting throughout)
I just have to remember to turn my cam off before i stand up! |

I've really made a point of sticking to work clothes for work (smart jeans / shirt / jumper etc).
I've found it helps getting ready after walking the pup, going into the office upstairs and working as normal... it means I can close the office door at five, get changed and there is proper separation from work time. |

There and to the left a bit |
Currently wearing ling sleeve top and my boxers as I sit staring at the screen!!
Once showered will add jeans and a hoody to that.
As I've worked from home for years my standard wear is usually jeans and a top anyway. |

The people I know who WFH wear the same as they would if they were going into work. I'd be the same. I think it's important to have a clear definition between work and not work.
work appropriate clothing is important to me and often to the people interact with. If I was consulting a financial expert for instance and they popped up on my screening casual wear I'd have less confidenceiin them than if they were smartly dressed.
anyone see the "I'm not a cat" zoom call?  |

Yes!! Not sure if that or the Weetabix/baked beans combo Twitter thing is my favourite moment of the week so far "
Definitely the cat one for me. We were laughing so much. Him saying "I'm not a cat" as if people thought he was |

Good point. I would make an effort with seniors leadership team meetings |

Seriously if it's a business zoom call, i still expect people to dress reasonably smart. Not shirt & tie smart but, no scruffy t-shirt or pj's
