There is no specific or exact dress code while working in your small home office. People wear different clothes such as sweatpants, a pair of shorts and socks, hoodies or even pajamas while working. General cleanliness is also a necessity while working from home, especially bathing early in the morning once you are up from the bed.

You’re going to pay more attention to the work that you’re doing, and you’re going to feel like a functioning member of society.”
