Home based, but I like a uniform as it's not spoiling my normal day wear. I have just done someones grotty feet and there is dead skin , yuck, and scrub, and massage cream stuck to my work trousers ( Peacocks- black work trousers) looks disgusting.
Will have to change as they look minging now.
I would only ever wear my normal clothes if I had a couple of clean jobs on - say on a friday morning. ( eyebrow, tinting, nails)
It really is your choice as to what you wear , being self employed means you can do whatever you like. I couldn't wear jeans daily as I would ruin my nice clothes and as my work trousers are cheap, easily laundered ,and can get anything spilt on them am I aren't going to panic.
