Working from home: wearing pajamas or formal clothes?

Lang: how do you dress at home? Interestingly, freelancers are divided into two camps: some insist on being meticulous, others think that sloppy is not harmful.

How do people dress without office? People are divided into two camps on this issue.

Some people insist on being meticulous and regard the proposal of Diana Vreeland as Diana's book: "people should pay attention to style."

The style will go along with you.

Style as you wake up in the morning.

This is a way of life.

You are not dressed, you are nothing. "

But some people do not think so. They believe in the idea of American novelist John Cif (John Cheever): "many of my novels are written in shorts."

But in the early days of his career, the American writer would still wear his only suit and come to a windowless basement, take off his suit and hang up, and then write until evening.

Whether wearing shorts or Berluti brand clothes, these so-called "Skype people" wear more and more attention when they work.

The number of freelancers in Britain has increased from 3 million 300 thousand in 2001 to 4 million 800 thousand in 2017.

With the promotion of new technologies such as group chat and collaboration and software Slack, distance work is becoming increasingly popular. With the development of 5G technology, this mode of work will be more convenient.

This is followed by the rise of shared offices.

In such a joint office space, people must take some effort to make themselves look tranquil.

Emma gainon, the author of The Multi-Hyphen Method: Work Less, Create More, and Design a Career a, is insisting that even in the home office, dress must be dainty.

"We must get rid of a prejudice that sitting at home is sitting at home, stuffing clothes into the washing machine and rolling the cat."

"We must take ourselves seriously," she said.

Dress well and keep yourself in mind!

This can completely change your energy. "

Marie Kondo, a Japanese master, also disagrees with people's habit of using outdated clothes as a home dress, and warns that "wearing clothes at home does affect your personal image". Kondo Marie,

My freelancers are also divided into two camps on this issue.

Melissa Kazorris (Melissa Katsoulis), the author of Telling Tales: A History of Literary Hoaxes, confessed that she was "very, very sloppy", which is the most wonderful place to work at home.

She likes "old cotton tights, loose vest, my husband's shirt..."

Basically it's a maternity dress, even though I'm not pregnant. "

She added, "if I don't feel well, I will be distracted.

My clothes look more and more weird and slovenly, but I like it.

For the novelist Joshua Ferris (Joshua Ferris), utility is the main consideration for his writing at home, which is different from other works he has done before.

"I worked in a funeral home."

Fries is the author of the The Dinner Party.

"When it comes to formality, my expression is very important and hairstyle is there.

When I work in an ice cream shop called Cock Robin, I need to wear my overalls.

I also worked in the shopping mall, and I was in charge of public consultation on various topics.

My ties and shoes are very important there.

Now, I only care if I am too cold or too hot.

I prefer this way back to the beginning.

The other extreme is James, a more than 40 year old wine dealer (James).

After getting up every day, he had to iron his shirt, put on his neat khakis and shoes in the car to work at his desk.

Even if he does not have the dress code that he must obey, clothes are still his psychological tools to motivate himself.

Lindsay, who works as a recruiter, likes the new Pilates dress, comfortable and elegant, and can motivate her to work quickly because it makes her feel like she has to go to Pilates class on the same day.

She doesn't necessarily have classes.

More than 20 year old Study Rocket, the learning software for procrastination therapy, chief executive and founder James Terry (James Terry) also has a small skill to improve efficiency: when he used to work at home, he would put on his shoes and sit in front of the table.

He said he could concentrate.

If you were once the most eye-catching icon in the fashion industry, every appearance must shine brilliance, and now that you are completely liberated, you will only see the DPD courier every day. What is the feeling? Alexandra Alexandra, editor in chief of the former British edition of Vogue, who left in 2017, said: "when I work in" Vogue ", I dress a little too solemnly, even if I just sit at my desk. More specifically, at that time, I was sitting in the garden more often than I was in the DPD.

At that time, I had to consider how my clothes would make others think of me.

Now that I write at home, only cats are around, I don't need that.

Schulman's clothes are elegant, with great power, but very low profile.

"I especially love clothes that are extremely expensive but can't see expensive, so I wear the most popular brands like James Perse, American Vintage, YMC."

"I usually get up in the morning and put on the dressing gown I bought in Paris a few years ago -- the cooperation between French cotton brand Simrane and India brand Anokhi.

If I want to catch up on a task, even if the deadline is my own regulation, I will skip this stage and dress neatly, usually trousers and Velvet brand T-shirts.

She still cherished the opportunity to dress up less.

"One of the joys of not working full-time is to enjoy more time for dinner."

Those who work in cafes or in springing up shared spaces? Few people have the courage to wear old sports clothes here.

Rose Cartwright, a 32 year old writer and creative director, has found that her work dress has changed significantly since she stopped writing at home and changed to Second Home in the joint office space. Her book "pure" (Pure) is being adapted for TV play by channel fourth (Channel 4). "Ross" is a new type of Cartwright.

Second Home has offices in London and Lisbon and will soon open another one in Hollywood.

In the office area of Spitalfields, London, there are many sets of Nordic style lamps and potted plants.

Because the walls are plexiglass, everyone can see clearly.

"Such an office space is a mixture of work and performance."

"This is also reflected in the way people dress," she explains.

Many people work for themselves and try to build up their personal image rather than imposing an image.

People spend their minds on dressing up because they really care. "

Cartwright said: "deciding what to wear will fill my day with goals and objectives", but there must be a set of procedures to simplify the decision-making process.

She used to write at home when she was wearing "slovenly Old Crocodile (Lacoste) pullovers and men running pants".

Now, she has several pairs of white Reebok (Reebok) classic shoes and Nike (Nike) high shoes, with Cos or Other Stories brand high waist cut feet jeans, Comme des Gar Gar ons Play T-shirt, and a pilot coat.

She will wear red lipstick, gold ring earrings and Palm Tree Pendant Necklace.

Sometimes, she will wear a fitted skirt with sports shoes and a wide shirt, and will wear loose trousers when she sees people.

Study Rocket's James Terry (James Terry) is now working in Second Home.

He rarely dressed up, usually wore sandboots, Levis jeans and T-shirts, even if he had meetings with potential investors on Skype.

"Investors in our cooperation know that technology people are dressed very casually."

He said, "if they care about my clothes, I may not want to cooperate with them."

But when he met with a private fund once, he still compromised. It might be necessary to dress up formally at the The Ned hotel in London.

Luke Luke Hall also works in a shared studio.

He recently bought a set of costumes, in his words, "a work clothes" - from a practical British brand Old Town's canvas jacket and yellow brown cotton trousers.

Like Jackson Pollock (Jackson Pollock) and Picasso (Picasso), Hal also likes rough work clothes and loves heavy cloth in aesthetics.

"Because I am an artist / designer, I will consider everything around me and my studio.

So, of course, I should be very careful in wearing clothes, even if I work it will be very messy.

He said, "I also like to wear different clothes according to different tasks and occasions. For example, in summer vacation, I will choose loose silk pajamas and choose pyjamas on Sunday morning.

I think it's best to wear different clothes on different occasions, because this will help you create an image. "

Perhaps, how to dress the freelancers is important not to get rid of formal dressing requirements, but to have a chance to build a small fashion kingdom of their own.

The new way of office gives us the chance to try new models and realize the joy of freedom.
