The Work From Home Style Guide

COVID 19 has spread around the planet, sending billions of us on lockdown. We’re on the polar opposite of our normal lifestyle- practising social distancing, working from home and of course, longing to get on with our old life. We must’ve imagined an apocalypse in our wildest dreams, but who would’ve anticipated that the world would be switching to the work from home mode full-time! As professionals self quarantine themselves, work from home style has become the new buzzword in the fashion sphere. Taking conference calls in bed, setting up your workstation right on your couch; waking up at 9:55 to start work at 10 are tasks that we’ve mastered. With a vibe so comfortable, it can be tempting to fall into the pyjama trap. But don’t we all miss dressing up for work every day? As we continue working remotely, get ready to follow this code of comfort until further notice. Because being stylish is not cancelled…

Dressy Dresses

Getting dressed to go nowhere is legit. While you can manage to look good only from the waist up for zoom call meetings for most of the days, you can cut the monotony and flatter yourself in between. Besides, you can show your IG followers that you’re dressed for success even when you’re staying in. Think flirty trims or light linen, whatever delights your style senses. 

Love to Lounge

Neither the fashion police nor the HR is going to raise a question if you wear your sweatpants to work now. After all, it’s your own sweet home! Go from cosy bed to a virtual boardroom in a jiff. And with your comfy bed being accessible all the time, you can slip into a short nap while you feel so comfortable. 

Feel-Cute Coordinates

We’re giving work code a whole new spin with comfy-chic coordinates replacing power suits until next time. The virtual meetings may drag on but there’s no reason you can’t stay comfy through it all! Trust your linen and cotton sets to show that you mean business and your stay-at-home style is on-point when you’re off duty! 

Athleisure Mode 

Kickback and refuel your energy in athleisure wear that is easy to nail both, your workweek and your workouts! Slipping into a tracksuit isn’t just asana-appropriate but will keep you comfortably active through the day. Now that you’re on it to become the highest performing employee from the couch, nothing reinstates that your work mode is on throughout the day. 

Smart Casuals

While a laidback dress code has perks of its own, the joy of dressing up in smartly tailored outfits is second to none. It instantly evokes a sense of confidence. Your blazers are still best reserved to sashay the boardroom but vibrant button-downs make the perfect cut as ‘Smart Casual’. After all, if you’re a boss babe you definitely need to dress the part. 

Dressing up is the easiest way to liven up our spirits. Use your nifty flair to keep your business on top and work-from-home style quotient in check. All you have to do is stay home, be chic & carefree!
