Pajamas have become my best friend while working from home. Honestly, I don’t even remember the last time I wore formal attire for my ‘virtual meetings’. However, dressing in comfy clothes while WHF might be a terrible idea for reporters.
Let me tell you why. Recently, a reporter appeared on air during the ‘Good Morning America’ show wearing a formal suit but no pants. ABC reporter Will Reeve didn’t realize his shorts were visible for everyone to see due to the camera angle, reports the Indian Express.
The reporter learned about his mistake after people started sharing screenshots of his ‘entire’ segment. Will was talking about pharmacies using drones to deliver prescription drugs in a Florida retirement village when the incident occurred.

However, his interesting choice of wardrobe wasn’t revealed initially because of the graphics on the screen. Once, the graphics were pulled off, the reporter’s ‘no pant’ look was revealed to viewers.
As people started wondering, whether he was half-naked, Will assured viewers that he had his shorts on.
They’re shorts I promise 🤦🏻♂️

When WFH goes wrong (or, your self-framed live shot goes too wide).
Hope everyone got a much needed laugh 😂 pic.twitter.com/GbyLBhL7Be— Will Reeve (@ReeveWill) April 28, 2020
Several people, including Will himself, laughed at his incomplete office attire:
I have ARRIVED*

We all needed the laugh. I’m sure your reporting was great, too 😃
I feel like this could be your thing… is he wearing pants or not? But we’d still listen to your reporting 👍🏽

You’re just ahead of the trend! This will be the new fashion by fall I’m sure 😂

Others found it super relatable and said this is exactly what WFH looks like:
Suit jacket and hot pants. This is 2020, friends.

Own that look, king. Pants days are over.

You have become the welcome face of quarantine. Don’t you DARE apologize! We need this realness!

Rock star move, if you ask me. (Everyone behind a desk does it, in my experience. Now you’re internet famous for making it cool.)

Zoomerica. You are all of us, Will. 😉

Oddly enough a dress shirt, blazer and shorts is my go-to isolation outfit.

Well, who could possibly blame him for not wearing shorts? Many of us are guilty of not wearing appropriate office attire while working from home. Or is it just me? Tell us about your WFH outfits!
