Absolutely, great point! My partner is in healthcare and works full-time in person. Though he vastly prefers interacting with others in person, he also struggles as the only Black man at his company. His custom button-down shirts and slacks are less a fashion statement than an intentional strategy for ensuring that his white coworkers take him seriously. As a woman, I also feel less pressure working remotely to look a certain way in order to be taken seriously.
