Okay, be honest, have you been in your pyjamas 24/7 since we have all started working from home? We know you have, and that’s fine because we’ll admit that we have been too. It’s just so much easier being a slob when we’ve got no one to meet isn’t it? But what that does to us is enable the line that separates work-time and free-time to diminish, affecting our overall commitment and ability to be productive to down spiral.
Looking good and dressing up for ourselves at home is important. Boosting our self-esteem by putting effort into our appearances is after all one of the most effective methods to lift our spirits. And this visual empowerment can push us to tackle our mounting work tasks from the comfort of your couch more efficiently. And no, we are not asking you to start putting on your uncomfortable skin-tight skinny jeans or that gut-busting dress. Strive for the perfect balance between cosy and considered, just like our different style options below so you feel better and will always be Zoom video conference ready.

Minimalism has been quite the popular style trend from years past to today for its fuss-free (read: less is more) method to looking put-together. But the key to really making this commonly monotone look work is to play up contrasting textures with the handful of things you have on — plain cotton with satin, knits with denim, etc. If you are at a loss of where or how to start owning this look, just Add To Cart our picks above and you can be on your merry way!

Designers are oft-accredited for setting trends, but hey don’t forget about epic celebrity style moments too! Our favourite look this time around from a Hollywood star is the iconic cardigan-with-bra combo spearheaded by Katie Holmes. Seamlessly elegant yet borderline bonkers, this off-duty look makes for quite the perfect comfy Work-From-Home aesthetic. Just make sure to pick a presentable bralette that’s gentle enough for you to forget you’re actually wearing one at home when layering that stealth-wealth cardigan.
Sensual

Who doesn’t like looking like a bombshell from time to time? It celebrates self-love and makes quite the statement as a nod to embracing female empowerment. Though wearing a figure-hugging evening gown on your couch is a tad too extra, try playing up your sensuality with the modest camisole-with-blazer combo. Think #girlboss vibes with the soft touch of satin gliding against your skin under a structured blazer. Take it this idea a little further and go all out with the self-pampering with soothing essential oils or scented candles that’ll take you to cloud nine.
