Work From Home Fashion Tips
Is it just me or have #OOTDs changed quite a bit these days? I’m not talking about tie dye coming back full force but rather exchanging office appropriate attire for a rotation of sweatpants. With the COVID-19 pandemic leaving many working remote, your day to day fashion may be taking a hit. Many would argue that at home fashion may not be high on the priority list and while I agree, I would also arguably say that how you feel about yourself reflects in your work so let’s make sure you’re feeling good as hell. The below tips will help you navigate through your closet to whip up comfortable yet stylish work from home attire.
4 Tips On How To Feel Stylish When Working From Home
Dress For Your Mood
With all the uncertainty swirling around, clothes can be a source of comfort. The cool thing about fashion is that you can constantly switch it up based on your mood and the same token applies when getting dressed to work from home. If there are days where you simply don't feel like getting dolled up - that's ok!! On the flip side, on the days where you’re feeling a bit down and out, get yourself dressed and relish in the instant mood boost. The key is to tune into how you're feeling, each day, and dress accordingly. Finding your work from home style is all about balance so don't feel pressure to have it down to a science. My biggest piece of advice is to change into "work clothes," as if you were headed into the office and when you've completed work for the day to then to change out of your work clothes. These tiny shifts will help you to mentally switch gears from work and home life.
What To Wear For A Virtual Meeting
With Zoom meetings and Google hangouts being a life line for business communications, knowing how to dress appropriately for face to face virtual work meetings may feel like unchartered territory. While each company has their own culture and expectations, these tips will act as a solid foundation to follow when picking out your outfit for a virtual meeting:
You wouldn't show up to the office in your PJs, right? Right. When getting dressed for a virtual meeting, do so as if you were about to walk into your office conference room. Dressing the part will help you stay focused and keep you in work mode.
Solid colors are the way to go as patterns can be distracting on camera.
In addition to your outfit, taking other factors into account are suggested. Example: your hair style + surrounding + lighting.
Play Around In Your Closet
With all the extra time spent at home, why not have fun playing in your closet! This is the perfect opportunity to take inventory of your closet and shake things up a bit. Whether you add in a pop of color with a sparkley accessory, mix bold colors with neutrals or paint on some sassy lipstick - try whatever new look speaks to you! If you're looking for inspiration, head to your favorite fashion blogger's Instagram page and take a few tips out of their book. Point being, have a party in your own closet! You may be surprised how much fun it is.
Say Goodbye To Leggings
To be honest, I never thought I’d know the day where I would get tired of wearing leggings day in and day out but sometimes, the unthinkable happens! If you're antsy to switch things up without sacrificing comfort, here are outfit ideas to rock when working from home instead of leggings:
Wide-leg pants + a tank top + spice it up with a headband or cute scrunchy
A T-shirt dress paired with an oversized denim jacket and a fun pair of earings
Slide into a pair of comfortable joggers + a cropped sweatshirt and a bralette
