Working from home
Return to DiscussionsWe have been working from home most of the time since last March and have just kept a shirt or blouse handy for online meetings etc. otherwise nude all day. I think all the delivery me and women are quite used to it, I am sure we are not alone in our current undress code.

Never feel right wearing a shirt and nothing below the waist, so when I have a video meeting I wear shorts and a shirt. Nude for background work and audio calls in warmer weather.
An acquaintance of mine mentioned that he rarely wears a shirt for video meetings and calls. He keeps the camera pointed at his face and if someone sees enough of his shoulders and upper chest to know that he isn't wearing a shirt, he doesn't care.
He is a semi-retired part-time independent consultant, so that probably gives him more leeway that a full time regular employee would have.

I used to feel exactly the same when ai used to work from home and had to take video calls. I used to have a shirt, sometimes even a tie, and a pair of gym shorts on.
Luckily I am retired now so dont have such video calls to disrupt my nudity.
When I first started working from home, I asked what people whether anyone was still wearing what the wore the bed that night. Some admitted they were. Other's (women -- not men) said they get up, shower, wash their hair, put on their make-up, do their hair, and get fully dressed: dress, blouse and skirt, or nice pants, shoes and socks/nylons -- everything as if they were driving into to town for a regular job.
I mentioned -- there are no cameras -- no one can see you.
But driven by a compulsion to be dressed.
I'm OK wearing just a shirt for video calls, especially when it's warm. Those on the other end of the call don't know and I'm comfortable. Just need to be careful if you have to stand up.
I was wearing a t-shirt and moderately short gym shorts for a video call.
I stood up to get something and somebody on the call said something like "Don't stand up if your wearing boxers."
I said I was wearing gym shorts. Thought about saying that I couldn't do a conference call in boxers because I don't own any underwear, but thought that would be TMI.
