Technological advances have allowed for numerous working activities, traditionally performed in a pre-determined venue, to take place from remotely, including the home. Additionally, digitalization offers the opportunity for workers to adjust their working patterns by more flexible working schedules, thus potentially enhancing time-management.

In response to these recent unprecedented developments, this paper will investigate what drives the decision to wear particular clothes when working from home, and how this links to productivity and overall happiness.
