Workwear Inspo: Work from Home Look Idea

I’ve been working from home exclusively since the pandemic began and I had to make the transition from going to an office everyday to making my home my office. A big part of that transition was finding clothes that were comfortable enough to wear around the house yet still enabled me to look decent enough to be seen on camera. Trying to find that balance was a challenge at first but outfits like this dress and cardigan combo make it easy.

The outfit is versatile and could also be worn to the office with a pair of heel or flats. On days when it‘s colder out I pair it with the cardigan, while when it’s warmer out I wear it as is. The dress is stretchy making it cozy for home while also looking structured with the knot tie in the center. I pair the outfit with leopard print jewelry to coordinate with the black while adding a pop of color and design.

Some may be wondering why I put so much effort into a work from home look. Studies show that dressing up signals productivity to your brain and this causes it to go into business mode. Keeping on your pajamas signals rest and relaxation and makes it harder for the wearer to make that transition from sleep mode to work mode. Hence what you wear has big implication on how you feel.
