Despite being homebound, Robert Khederian, a real estate salesperson at Compass, has been dressing up for a day of apartment showings and meetings. “Right now, I’m wearing khakis and a button-down, which is what I’d be wearing on a normal office day,” he said last Friday from his apartment in Manhattan. (This came, however, after wearing sweats most of the week.) “It’s to give myself some sense of normalcy. It felt very good to take a shower, make the bed and get dressed at a time that I normally would.”
His boyfriend John Maher, a specialist at the art auction house Sotheby’s, took a different approach. “Right now, I’m wearing blue chinos and a very casual T-shirt and slippers,” he said. “We started working remotely on Monday of this week, and there hasn’t been a single day I’ve put on a collared shirt.”
