?Why shouldn't you relax your clothes when working from home?
The coronavirus crisis has turned the world upside down. As if it were a Hollywood movie about epidemics, we can't leave home. Fortunately, in some countries this crisis is already being overcome.
With all this, the work of many has moved home, in the midst of family, couples and children. Each profession, as far as possible, has been adapting to this modality that seemed only for millennials.
In this time there is a big question, should we relax our usual clothing when working from home? Well the answer from my point of view is no and it is not for being frivolous. Because if there is something that we should not fall into, it is overwhelmed or hopeless. And if we are in pajamas or wearing sports clothes all day, it is not going to help us try to bring things back to normal.

Also, everything will depend on our activity and whether we should make talks on Skype or another platform.
As much as possible, try to only change the location in your work and not the good habits. Pretend you were going to the office: wake up at the same time, take a bath and have breakfast as if time is pressing. Remember that attitude is everything right now.
As a journalist I always try to be well groomed despite the fact that my work is practically from home, I work for websites from other countries so there is no physical location.
If you are an entrepreneur, like my friend Daniel Robinson with his great startup Tie Supply, you already know what it is to work from home or from a coffee. Keep things as always, do not let the listlessness beat you. At these times, entrepreneurs are usually the most hit, so a positive and pro-active attitude will make a difference when all this has happened.

If you are a freelancer such as a lawyer, a marketing professional or a trader in financial markets, you should also maintain the same predisposition for a good appearance every day. Especially since you will know that the work has not stopped but that it continues and you have to be at the foot of the canyon before any requirement from our clients or coworkers.
If you dedicate yourself to tailoring there will be no doubt that you know how to dress well and that in your work, despite being through a computer, it always requires an impeccable image. If there is someone who reflects everything I like to express, that is a tailor.

And if by your profession you are exempt from any type of quarantine, dressing as usual will be a way of transmitting to the rest a certain tranquility that, despite this moment, everything will improve and will only be a memory.
The objective of this article is not to convey frivolity or carefreeness, but to try to bring a positive message to everyone through something we like, fashion. Even is a vehicle to overcome this confinement.
