Actually, I miss wearing "work clothes", I like changing out of shirt and tie into jeans and t-shirt when I got home, it drew a line under the working day. Now it all blends into one (including working after hours...)


I used to feel this way for a long time actually. I had to have something to demarcate 'work time' from 'home time'.

What I found that worked for me, however odd, was the notion of 'work shoes'. I'd wear a pair of 'work shoes' when I was working, and swap them out for sneakers when I was finished working, and it achieved the same effect.

That worked well until I discovered Johnston & Murphy loafers anyway, which turned out to be actually more comfortable than my sneakers, but now I'm pretty much working all the time anyway, so it's .. okay?


You can still switch to sweatpants when you come home. They're also more comfortable than jeans!


There's a cringe-worthy limit to how far you can carry this.
