Are you running out of Zoom outfits? 👔👖👚👙👕👞🎩

I teach in person now so I’ve had to be in real dress clothes for a month

I have always been naked below the waist on Zoom calls and wear the same color shirt each time ( I have many light blue ones).

I leave my manservant, Jenkins, to attend to such matters. He is an exquisite judge of taste.

But how is that any different than running out of outfits when you had to be seen in person?

You don’t have that many Zoom meetings in person.

I notice people's clothing less on Zoom than in real life

I wear long sleeve colored T shirts for regular office meetings, but put on more formal shirts for outside meetings.

I have two shirts that I alternate.

I haven't washed them at all since the pandemic.

I wear comfortable stuff. One great thing about working from home is you don't have to follow pointless rules i.e. dress codes and other things that have nothing to do with what you actually do for work.

I wear

earrings

Caftans!

I'll be going back into the office for 2-3 days a week from June (new company-wide 6-month trial, nobody working full-time in the office). I don't know how I will cope with this "pants obligatory" rule they are insisting on.

I have a lightweight black polo-neck sweater that I keep on a shelf near my desk.

I pull it on over whatever t-shirt I have on just before a zoom call.

No one notices what men are wearing.

You’re wrong. I notice what all my men co-workers are wearing and if they repeat. Sometimes I’ll yell out “Twinsies!!” if I see two wearing the same thing.

I shriek and pull out my hair

This. Is. Pathetic.

It’s not like they’re in jail and have to wear the same prison garb all the time. Just order a shirt/sweater/jacket you already like from the same manufacturer, online, in a new color.

How much hand holding do people need???

Yes, I wasn’t expecting forgiveness!

THANK YOU R4.

If I worked with you I would have to strangle you with my bare hands and leave your body for the janitor to take care of.

You'd totally get fired, R18

I could not be bothered knowing what any of my colleagues are wearing - either through Zoom or in person. I doubt I would even notice if they were naked.

Can we all return to the agenda, please? R20, you we’re going to bring us up to speed on Item 3…

LOL @ R21. I am pretty agenda driven...just the facts please.

Why couldn’t I have worked with you, R20?

I emailed everyone some last minute thoughts right before the meeting. Did everyone receive than?

^^ THEM. Not “than”.

I need Tad from IT to turn off my autocorrect.

(This was mentioned last week. Can someone follow up?)

I now use a really shitty Zoom lense and no one can tell.

Not on the agenda, but… why isn’t there an app that can change your business attire for online meetings? I’m thinking focusing on changing garment colors would be an easy place to start.

Maybe we create a capsule collection of classic white work clothes that could work for this endeavor, and exciting new technology.

R20 - please invent this and get back to us.

I'm sensing a Gap store playlist guy thread here...

Or you could wear nothing at all!

I don’t even understand the question. I have worn the same shirt since I came home to work in March 2020.

"What do you do to keep things fresh?"

I douche, frequently.

More to the point, shave.

Cheryl has never douched a day in her life

I zoom naked and use a Photoshop app to add clothing.

What if the app malfunctions?

" err ... No. Why do you ask?" Michael Schmidt, NYT

I wear only white shirts. Clean, crisp. No question about wearing the same clothes. I look good in white too.

If you had a job before how could you possibly be running out of business attire? I have so many fucking business jackets it's pathetic.

I started cleaning out closets recently and I found even more clothes I forgot I had.

Because you never had this many Zoom meetings before.

Your average DLer on a Zoom meeting....
