WFH Dress Code

Does dressing up while working from home make a difference?

- John Legaspi

In light of the enhanced community quarantine set upon the Luzon region, various employees and industries are pushed to work at the safety of their homes. For some, like freelancers, this is a normal thing. But for others who are used to seeing cubicles and corporate walls, this condition might be something to get used to.

For employees who are used to working at an office, being at home is the main indicator of a job well done. It’s the time when comfort is a reward as we loosen ties or take heels off, and put on sweatpants.

But now that home and the workplace have merged, are we even required to dress up for work? I know what you're thinking. In a time of pandemic, do we still need to think of what we're wearing? Fashion or style is among the unnecessary things many set aside in a crisis. But with a month-long stay at home for work, maybe putting a little effort on what you're wearing (during work hours) may help spend the day more productively.
