For most of us, office dressing is a thing of the past (at least temporarily).
Gone are the days of uncomfortable formal clothes, this is a time for lounge wear and stretchy waistbands.
But, when we are required to look presentable for our colleagues, say via a Zoom meeting or a Google Hangout, it's very much a waist-up effort.
But, if you are going to only dress your top half, don’t make the same mistake as ABC News reporter Will Reeve, who didn’t quite frame his shot right when appearing on national television forgetting one very important thing – trousers.
On Tuesday, Reeve, who is the son of original Superman actor Christopher Reeve, appeared on a segment of Good Morning America to discuss news of pharmacies in the US using drones to deliver prescriptions to patients.
He was dressed smartly in a grey suit jacket and open-collared blue shirt, but what he didn't realise was that he had positioned his camera in a way that allowed the millions of viewers at home to see his bare legs.
Twitter users were quick to alert Reeve to his mishap, calling him out with screen shots of his on-screen error.
But, seeing the funny side, Reeve retweeted the pictures of himself. "I have ARRIVED," he said. "In the most hilariously mortifying way possible."
He also assured people that he had, in fact, been wearing shorts, joking that he wouldn’t be getting hired as a cameraman “any time soon.”
"Trying to be efficient I got ready for a post-GMA workout a little too soon this morning," he said in a later post. "The camera angle, along with friends, family and several hundred strangers on social media made me rethink my morning routine. Any sartorial tips from these people who are wearing a belt, trousers and shoes during their work video calls at home are most welcome. Now, back to work. Wearing pants."
Reeve is not only a reporter, he's a philanthropist too: he serves on the board of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The charity works to help those suffering from paralysis and spinal cord injuries, and funds research to further their medical care.
The cause is close to the reporter's heart: Reeve's father, Christopher became quadraplegic after a devastating equestrian accident in 1995. He passed away in 2004.
