If you’re a part of the stay-at-home workforce, you have the advantage of wearing your pajamas all day, even during your shifts. There’s no doubt that staying in your sleepwear is comfortable, but it tremendously blurs the line between home and work life. And since it’s effortless to relax at home and leave your tasks for some screentime or cuddle in your pillows, you need something that will remind you that you still have tasks to accomplish. To make loungewear fashion and still maintain its comfy and cozy aspect, the following are some must-grab pieces that deserve a place in your work-from-home wardrobe:
Knits
You need to have real fashion skills to rock knitted pieces since some of them may feature too intricate details, leaving them with incohesive and chaotic designs, while some are just devoid of details, making them too plain. You have to find the right balance of knitted fashion by choosing to wear matched sets or pairing them with other garments.
Knitwear can vary from long-sleeve shirts and pants, shorts and shirts, sweaters, to rib-knit pants. Knitted tops, regardless of the style of the sleeves, can be easily matched with the same material, such as shorts and pants, as long as you will choose a color that will suit you. For starters, minimalist colors and neutral shades generally look excellent and exude a chill yet chic vibe. For rib-knit pants, you can complete the look by donning on a stylish turtleneck, or long or short-sleeved shirt, with signature platform heels or boots.
Cotton Pieces
Just the sound of it can already make you feel comfy and cozy. Cotton pieces are the perfect loungewear since these pieces are lightweight and easy to move in. When you’re working from home, wearing sharp and sleek formal wear is unnecessary, but donning on stylish pieces can make you feel good and motivate you to work better.
Some fashionable cotton pieces include rib cotton trousers, sweaters, and cotton dresses. These outfits are non-constricting and are loose and baggy enough to keep you comfortable without failing to give you a shapely figure. To give them a luxurious touch, you can layer necklaces and wear hoop earrings.
Sweats
Sweats of different styles have been essential pieces in everyone’s closets for many years now. But now that more and more people are working remotely, finding fashionable ways to wear sweats so that you can look your best during conference calls is the challenge fashion-forward individuals face. Because of the versatile design of sweats, some people prefer them, making them ideal wear for relaxing at home or going on casual engagements.
If you choose to wear something cozier but still want to remain stylish, sweater pants are the perfect loungewear for you. These pieces keep you snug and can be comfier than regular sweats. You can make these pieces fashionable by wearing matching sweatsuits in cool or warm tones complemented using the right accessories.
Dresses
Dresses, like sweats, are also versatile pieces that you can wear for different occasions. These pieces are inherently stylish and easy to wear, making them the go-to outfits for when you don’t feel like creating new looks. Just like how you would strut in the office wearing your beautiful dress during pre-pandemic days, you can still do that at home, but with pieces that will make you comfortable while working from your bedroom.
Fashionable dresses, such as jerseys, maxi dresses, and ruffle dresses, come in fitted and loose designs and are comfortable but fashionable enough to easily belong in luxurious events held in reception venues, making them pieces worth investing in.
Rompers
A romper is an outfit that can be styled formally or casually. Its duality is what makes it a suitable wear for casual Fridays or even for your formal weekday OOTDs. For a casual look, you can wear a short-sleeve romper or one with a keyhole neckline. For a stylish finishing touch, you can top it off with a cute single or color block cardigan, or even a kimono with charming details, plus lace sandals or sneakers. To make it formal, a romper suit with spaghetti sleeves and a V-shaped neckline, partnered with a chic blazer and ankle strap heels or stilettos, will give you a powerful look during your Zoom meetings.
Working from home does not equal staying in your pajamas all day. You can still enhance your fashion sense, even when you do not have outdoor plans. By wearing stylish loungewear, you can maintain a clear line between work and home life while still keeping yourself comfortable and ready for a nap once your tasks are done.
