We can work in our pyjamas, shorts, whereas some can feel a little notorious to not get out of their boxers, and in case you thought only a few might be indulging in this new habit, a survey reveals that the number could be a whole lot more.

This was revealed in a survey conducted by YouGov -- a research data analytics group from London The study reveals that around 47 percent Americans who participated in the survey revealed that they aren¡¯t really wearing legwear (this includes pants, skirts, shorts etc.) while working from home. However, 39 percent people do confess that they put slightly fancier clothes (from the waist up of course), before getting on a call.

The survey also reveals that men are more likely to skip wearing legwear as opposed to women -- three times more likely to be exact. The survey also tells us about the kind of efforts people take before coming in front of the camera, particularly the waist up.

It also reveals that 19 percent of people put on makeup for getting ready for the call. 29 percent of people also make sure that they¡¯re sitting in a well-lit condition to be visible clearly.
