We now live in a world where the corporate business world of 2021 doesn’t require pants and pajamas are permitted”

With ½ of the world working from home, it makes sense that comfort fashion is on the rise. Businesses are allowing or requiring that their employees work remotely; which means there are a lot of home offices that do not implement a dress code. When making wardrobe decisions over the past year, consumers have purchased half the amount of business attire compared to pre-pandemic numbers. Employees that are required to log into daily zoom meetings have quickly realized that they can cut costs in half by purchasing only tops for work. “In a zoom meeting, people don’t see if you are wearing pants or not.”




The remote working population has been forced to overcome quite a few lifestyle changes over the past year. Daily work life at home comes with challenges and advantages. One of the perks of working remotely is the ability to subtract travel time from your working hours. Sleeping a little bit longer because you don’t have to commute to work is definitely a plus.


Choosing to hit the snooze button now means you won’t have time to get dressed before you walk downstairs to log in for work. It has become increasingly more popular for remote employees to work from home in their pajamas. Some businesses suggest being presentable for video meetings.




What is considered “presentable” in the business world of 2021? Some workers choose to sleep in their clothes so they can get the extra shut-eye. Others buy pajamas that look similar to professional attire. Ever heard of a tuxedo t-shirt? Try tuxedo footie pajamas. Another option is wearing a blazer over top of your nightgown. “No one will know.”

They’re gonna know”




A warning has been submitted from the MWWFH (moms who work from home): 

“Wearing pajamas while working from home can be a slippery slope. Not changing out of your pajamas for work can lead to having dinner in your pajamas."

Dinner time and bedtime are not far from each other.  If you are already wearing pajamas at bedtime, why would you change into another set of pajamas especially if you will have less laundry to do? The warning from the MWWFH specifically warns you to change your pajamas at least 3 times during a workweek to avoid being 'the smelly mom'. They also stated that your kids will start questioning why they need to change clothes to go to school.

We now live in a world where the corporate business world of 2021 doesn’t require pants and pajamas are permitted while gas stations have signs that read “NO SHIRT NOT SHOES NO SERVICE” The world has spoken.
