What are your two favorite things to wear?

March, 2020. That’s the point in time where my work wardrobe merged with my all-time favorite wardrobe…at least when it didn’t have a negative impact on my clients or my professional reputation.

Any guy who says they dress to the nines to work remotely is either a serious brown-noser or simply a liar. I find my productivity is directly linked to my comfort level while at my desk for 8+ hours. Although there are times an in-person meeting helps to convey a thought or idea directly, most times it’s just as simple to work via email or conference call, with an enhanced work-life balance as a welcomed bonus.

Most days, after jumping in and out of the shower, brushing my teeth and throwing some gel in my hair, I reach for a pair of cheap gray sweatpants and then slip a super soft tee (long sleeve in the winter) over my head, along with comfy ankle socks on my feet.

Since we’re talking tees…

Stumbling down the stairs to my office, I hit the mouse to awaken my laptop for the day, then fill a mug with steaming black coffee (Dunkin), and then fire up Outlook to get my day going.

Before I know it, there have been many Zoom and Teams meetings, lots of emails both outgoing and incoming, lunch and dinner made and eaten, a certain Corgi entertained and walked numerous times, and some much-needed relaxation watching a series on Hulu (“One Tree Hill” currently), and soon I’m brushing my teeth again and hitting the hay for the night, only to rise and repeat the next morning.

Wearing a pair of sweats and a tee…as always.
