The year was 2020, the month was March and the work outfit was a crisp white shirt with tracksuit bottoms and Ugg boots. Don't judge this fashion crime- I was among the scores of Brits that found myself suddenly doing my job from the kitchen table. I had to look smart from the waist up to interview CEOs via Zoom about what businesses made of this new Coronavirus crisis, but also had to keep warm and hence my normal go-to black bootcut trousers and black shoes (one of several pairs) were swapped with loungewear.
For many of us the traditional work office 'uniform' has long been back, and for others the days of a monday to friday much more relaxed look could be outnumbered.
