Stretch pants all day long, a hoodie or a baseball cap, and sweats for weeks at a time. Working from home leaves no judgement on our fashion choices, which is kind of nice. There’s no dress code at home.
According to a recent piece in The Atlantic, most workplaces have some form of dress code or standard for work attire. But maybe the rules, even if unspoken, should be ditched all together.
Workplace fashion has grown more casual overtime, with some companies even allowing jeans and sweatshirts. Fashion experts say we’re likely to see an impact to fashion trends due the events of the coronavirus pandemic, but it’s unclear what that will look like. Employees may be able to get away with more casual attire, but some workers may return to work in fancier outfits because they simply miss dressing up. We’ll see.
Today on AirTalk, we want to know what you think. How have your fashion choices changed due to the pandemic? Do you think changes to the traditional office dress code could be a good thing or a bad thing? Share your thoughts by calling 866-893-5722.
