    Shower and dressed however my work clothes at home are bordies, t-shirt and Sandals. When in the office we wear slacks and shirt and closed shoes.

    I assume a large number of people are working from home again - I came across this old poll and figured it was still relevant!

    I must admit that I've had to change my approach a little - my son is now in high school and so is on zoom most of the day, so I'm a little more conscious about what I'm wearing.

    Life was so much easier when there were no video cameras on during the day! :(

    The weather in Sydney has been less favourable this time around, so the mamil-wear has required extra layers.

    It's still not a good look on Teams. I don't need to use the camera, everyone knows what I look like, even if we've never been in the same room together.

    I have done both and am much more productive when working out of an office than being at home as my body and mind go into relaxation mode, like a pavlovian type response so not a good vibe for getting things done.

    I dress pretty much the same for WFH as I do for work, but maybe a better shirt when at work. I'm sporting the lumberjack look today - flanno, jeans and boots, particularly apt with my winter beard coming along nicely.

    No real measure though, as my workplace has a fairly lax dress policy - not uncommon to see people in thongs, boardies, and muscle shirt. But I think that is taking things a bit too far - closed toed shoes and at least short sleeves in the office!

    Hubby's working from home 4-5 days ... he thinks it's great, with a lunchtime surf and no commute

    I'm not so convinced :confused: ... my space feels rather crowded nowadays. He's on an international zoom meeting, presentation, atm ... and this house was designed with an office space, but wasn't intended for this sort of shared intensity

    On a positive ... naps ... daytime naps are the best ... and I used to love the evening zoom meeting, where I could txt daughter that I needed a wine refill from my desk :)

    Some of my colleagues wear full make up, even when working from home.

    As a Queenslander I’m always amazed at the ones who work from home WEARING SHOES!

    When they forget to turn off the web cam after a meeting and put their feet up on the table.... o_O
    (Much worse though when you have suit jacket, shirt, and tie with boardshorts)

    I shower at the usual time in the morning then get dressed in my best trackies & t-shirt. Or shorts & t-shirt in the warmer months.

    I’ll put on a proper shirt for certain zoom meetings, but still stick with the shorts/trackies.

    I never work from home because it’s the nature of my work.
