How dressed up do you get for your Zoom meetings when you're working from home? Is it really such a crime to wear a hoodie?

If I would not wear the shirt/top to the office on a Monday through Friday, I would not wear the shirt/top on camera when working from home Monday through Friday.

Weekends, be happy I'm even working and wearing clothes haha

Just the same tidy whites all the time.

If it is a client, button up. If it is in house, t shirt will suffice.

I once got messaged to turn my camera off because I was wearing a hoodie. This was in January, the heater was broken and I was WFH that day waiting for the repair man to come & fix the heater.

Thanks for the compliment

I’ve been remote for 5+ years now and I’m on camera every day for multiple hours. I also have a closet full of short sleeve, button down, casual dress shirts that I wear every single day. If it’s cold, I wear long sleeve shirts but I would never, ever, wear a hoodie on camera.

Look at richy-rich over here with their closet full of collared shirts

It is a crime against good taste and professionalism. If those things don't matter to you, then it isn't a problem.

Generally a polo. If I’m cold I’ll wear a quarter-zip

Most of the Zoom or Teams meeting I have had over the last year or so, most people did not have their cameras on. The only people that had their cameras on were the people that were presenting. In this case it doesn't matter what I am wearing.

I wouldn't wear a hoodie but I throw a branded vest over most things and that works
