Oversize Tee + Sweats + Socks + Sneaks 

This kind of cushy outfit is perfect when you're craving cozy comfort but don't want to stay in your PJ's all day. Just add neutral sneakers if you take a walk around the block or enjoy some exercise at home. 

Chinos + Sweatshirt + Chain Necklace + Slippers

Relaxed chinos are a great alternative to leggings and sweats if you're already feeling fatigued by them. Pair them with a basic white sweatshirt, fluffy slippers, and a chain necklace for an Insta-worthy WFH look.

Cardigan + Knit Pants + Tank Top + Hoops + Scrunchie

A cozy and chic cardigan is a must in any WFH wardrobe, as it's a refreshingly cute substitute for our sweatshirts and hoodies. Wear with versatile beige knit pants, a neutral tank, gold hoops, and a leather scrunchie for a video conference–ready look.

Oversize Poplin Shirt + Leggings + Earrings + Socks

An oversize button-down is an effortless and easy top to wear with leggings, shorts, and chinos alike. Moreover, it's perfectly put-together for an Insta snap or video call. To elevate your WFH shirt, opt for one with billowy tiers.

Stretchy Dress + Cardigan + Scrunchie + Slippers

A stretchy and versatile jersey dress is a refreshing addition to your work-from-home wardrobe—especially one that's roomy and comfy. Wear it with your fluffy slippers, scrunchie, and throw your cardigan over it for an extra layer of coziness. 

Polo Top + Chinos + Sneakers

Wearing something smart on top is the sartorial equivalent of bold lipstick and is the perfect option for a day filled to the brim with Zoom meetings. A polo top, for example, in a pretty pastel hue exudes a relaxed yet polished look and is easy to pair with sweats, leggings, and chinos alike. Keeping sartorial standards high will up your work game and morale.

Tee + Knit Pants + Sweatshirt + Sneakers + Necklace + Scrunchie

While many of our basics will land in the neutral color scheme, a pop of color like a blue T-shirt will unquestionably brighten your mood. Pair it with beige pants and a gold chain necklace to up the cool factor for FaceTime with friends after work.
