One of the most superficial benefits of working from home is that you can secretly wear trackie dacks to important business meetings. You can even wear no pants at all. Just chuck on a shirt, make sure you look groomed up top, and – this is the important bit – make sure your camera angles don’t give the game away.
Unfortunately, a reporter in the United States forgot to check off the crucial point number three. Will Reeve appeared on Good Morning America this week and accidentally flashed his gams to the entire world.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with a sartorial mullet (business up top, party down below). It’s what keeps some of us thriving during these long months of working within spitting distance of our beds. But the trick here is to never, ever let anybody in on the secret. Will, my man – you blew it.
“I have ARRIVED,” Reeve tweeted, after screenshots of his pant-less escapade went viral. “In the most hilariously mortifying way possible.”
He explained that he was, in fact, wearing shorts, and was simply trying to be efficient for his post-interview gym sesh.
“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.”
He ended his statement on this pertinent note: “Now, back to work. Wearing pants.”
