Guest Post: 6 Beautifully Simple Work From Home Staples
For a comfy WFH wardrobe.
Hello everyone! With the pandemic (still) going on, it's no surprise that a huge number of people are now working (and/or studying!) from home. This is our new normal now, I suppose, and all we can do is try our best to adapt, no matter how hard or confusing this setup might be.
Now I know working from home gives us the luxury to dress down to the max but this shouldn't mean always reaching for your sweats and jammies. If there's one thing I learned from content creators, who, by the way, are one of the OG workers from home, it's that changing your jammies to casual clothes, even just a tee and a pair of jeans, will mentally put you on "work mode". No more lounging around the house anymore- it's business/get-shit-done time now. And I gotta say, it works! That simple thing helps and inspires me to get things done and I love it!
If you're looking for WFH wardrobe inspo, then this post might just be the thing you need. But before I move on to that, I just want to give a massive shoutout and thanks to Sarah and her team at Yummie! Sarah reached out to me a few months back and presented a nice list of topics for an article that I could feature here on the blog. I figured that a WFH-related article would be perfect, especially during this time, so here we are!
Enjoy!
We’ve all got the whole working from home thing down by this point in 2020, but many of us have yet to trade in our sweatpants for something more, shall we say, stylish. As we transition into fall, now is the perfect time to swap out your sweats and summer clothes for a slightly upgraded version of your WFH wardrobe. Below, we’ve rounded up the must-have staples in your fall closet to make you feel pulled together and productive without leaving the house.
Soft Jumpsuit
When you’re at home, you want getting dressed to be really easy, right? Well, nothing is simpler to throw on than a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits of all kinds are making their way into closets across the country because the trendy, yet comfortable garment takes little to no styling to look amazing.
Black Leggings
We’ve already mentioned this staple, but we can’t get through a cold season without at least a few pairs of leggings. Swap those summer biker shorts for their longer counterpart and you won’t be sorry. You can even wear them with workout bras and bralettes to do a quick yoga class or meditation practice.
Flannel Shirt
Nothing says fall like a cozy flannel. Red, blue, or deep green plaid flannels keep you warm and add a touch of country chic to your wardrobe. Wear yours unbuttoned over a cami, buttoned as a top, or tied around your waist with a pair of black leggings or jeans.
Wide Leg Jeans
Skinny jeans are a no-no around the house. In their place: comfy, high-waisted, wide-leg jeans. Make sure to try them on standing and sitting before purchasing them because no one likes to sit all day in a pair of too-tight jeans. Yes, you can unbutton the top button, but how nice would it be to not have to do that?
T-Shirt Dress
A t-shirt that’s also a dress; what could be more comfortable? We love t-shirt dresses for fall because you can layer them with just about anything and they look even better than they do on their own. Add a leather or denim jacket and boots, a sweater or sweatshirt and sneakers -- the possibilities are endless.
Longline Cardigan
We’re stocking up on sweaters this fall and one that can’t be missed is the longline cardigan. A cable knit cardi that hits at the knee looks great with a t-shirt dress, or can be thrown over a pair of leggings for a brisk walk around the park.
I hope incorporating any (or all!) of these staples would not only up your WFH wardrobe game but would also give you comfort and inspiration. I personally love t-shirt dresses and jumpsuits and this article just inspired me to go add more of them to my wardrobe. See, work from home outfits can be just as comfortable as your beloved PJs and just as fun too!
