From Zoom to FaceTime, WhatsApp to Skype, never have video calls been such an integral part of my life than they they have this past month—imperative for daily work meetings not to mention staying connected with family and friends during these uncertain times. One thing’s for certain: I’ve never been more grateful for technology.
So what does dressing for work mean if you’re no longer going into a physical office? There’s no better time to exercise the old mullet adage, business in the front, party in the back. Only, we’re adapting it suit our current work-from-home outfits, which are veering heavily toward business on the top, casual comfort on the bottom. Most mornings, I’ve been slipping on a slightly nicer top (along with a layer of lipstick and a brush of the bangs) to feel Zoom-meeting-ready, but I can’t quite bring myself to wear jeans right now, so I stick to comfortable sweatpants, leggings, shorts, and chinos from my waist down.
Keeping sartorial standards high (even if it is with just an elevated top) will no doubt inspire you to be at your most productive and boost your morale, so scroll below as I share some chic business-on-top, casual-on-bottom outfit pairings to consider if Zoom is your life right now.
A collared top (in a pretty pastel hue) will elevate even the most basic sweatpants.
Want to smarten up a basic tee? Add a polished (and trending) waistcoat.
A knit halter-neck top is an elegant yet relaxed option to pair with cozy lounge pants.
A flowy and easygoing tunic is a polished yet laid-back option to wear with your everyday leggings.
Swap your more structured blazers for a soft and relaxed knit style instead—perfect for throwing over a tee to add a professional touch to your WFH look.
A houndstooth print looks sophisticated, but the oversize knit fabric keeps it casual. Ideal to throw on over your bike shorts.
A fancy tweed knit cardigan is the epitome of elegance yet still über-cozy.
When you want to feel like you're wearing a work blouse but can't fathom anything too overdone or uncomfortable, opt for a non-restrictive billowy poplin shirt instead.
Fact: A ribbed knit matching set always looks seriously luxe.
Brighten up your Zoom meeting look with a pop of springtime yellow.
Nothing jazzes up an outfit quite like a puff sleeve. This one below looks so good on and is super comfortable at the same time. Pair it with these fun lounge pants.
Elevated design details such as crochet and puff sleeves will make you feel instantly more put-together.
The best part about working from home is that you can stay all day in your underwear if you want to! Make it fashion and opt for a cute cashmere pair to wear with a pretty puff-sleeve sweater. (No one will be able to tell on your video call.)
