"Working from home is the new norm for us, in particular, for a while. So we wanted to share some of our favorite pieces to be comfortable and chic when working remotely and social distancing."

"Since we both conduct business out of our home offices on the regular, we have firsthand experience in crafting WFH looks. We know there may be the temptation to stay in your old pajamas all day long (we get that), however, we think making the transition from the PJs you slept in the night before to something else can inspire you to stay motivated and create a positive structure for the day ahead."

"So with that, we're here to showcase our top comfy picks that work for us, but could definitely work for anyone at any age. Bonus, most of these items can also be mixed and matched to create that perfect combo of cozy and chic. (Also note that some of the photos below were taken before we started social distancing but are used here for outfit inspiration.)"

"Let's start at the top. For the ultimate comfort, think sweatshirts, cozy sweaters, T-shirts, and button-ups. For a bit of a chic vibe, try throwing on a flowy blouse and tying it at the front." On Melissa Meyers: Frame crew-neck
On Janet Gunn: Grayson top
"A style once reserved for the gym or a fitness class, leggings and joggers have made their way into our daily lives. It’s the perfect choice for transitioning from an at-home workout to at-home working." On Melissa Meyers: Varley leggings
"It's all about fabric with extra stretch when choosing jeans or pants to wear when working from home. You want to be comfortable whether sitting behind your desktop or curled up on the couch with your laptop." On Melissa Meyers: Mother jeans, Elizabeth Reid socks. On Janet Gunn: Veronica Beard pants, Elizabeth Reid socks
"Thanks to a plethora of stylish brands out there, sweat sets are a favorite in chic comfort." On Melissa Meyers: Sundry sweatsuit. R0AM slippers. On Janet Gunn: Aviator Nation sweatsuit, R0AM slippers

Shop the matching Project Social T Anything Goes Sweatshirt ($49)

"The next best thing to staying in your pajamas all day? Loungewear sets. Think luxurious sets for a comfortable glamour vibe." On Melissa Meyers: PJ Salvage set, R0AM slippers
"It's nice to have comfortable shoes to keep close by for around the house or when you step outside to get some fresh air. Our favorite styles are fashion slides and slipper styles." On Melissa Meyers and Janet Gunn: Jill Burrows slippers

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair.

After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
