Getting to the bottom of the remote-work pajama debate

What they're saying: Remote workers say they don't technically wear PJs all day, but a more nuanced wardrobe comprised of comfortable athleisure is common.

• Close to 72% of respondents to my very unscientific Twitter poll said they never or sometimes wear PJs at work. And 26% said they always wear them. (Really?)
• "We all know there's daytime athleisure and then actual pajamas," replied Rachel Lobdell, the editorial director at Fortune magazine.
• "Are they pajamas if they're all my clothes now?" another respondent asked.

"Enclothed harmony," is a term used by Columbia Business School professor Adam Galinsky to describe how people feel better when wearing clothes that match their environment, he told Marketplace last year.

• In other words, it's weird to wear a suit when you're sitting in your bedroom on Zoom.

The bottoms* line: Remote and hybrid work are here to stay, and so, to0, is a more casual dress code. It's not all that different from how office wear turned more casual back in the early 2000s with the dotcom boom.

• *that's a pants joke, folks.
