How to Create Some Nice Outfits for Working From Home

Working from home (WFH) means we get to dress comfortably. We can wear lounge clothes, athflow, athleisure or even business casual if it helps to motivate us. Many times, WFH means we need to look good from the waist up for online meetings and it doesn’t matter what we’re wearing from the waist down. It seems to me that’s where some of the new fashions are coming from. Many of the fashions inspired by post-2020 lifestyle are a combination of dressed-up clothes mixed with dressed-down clothes. So that’s something to keep in mind when figuring out how to create nice work from home outfits. Choose something comfy and pair it with something dressy, or vice versa. That way, you have style and comfort at the same time. And in my mind, that’s a key goal when getting dressed!

A delightful style to enjoy at home is cozy slides. Take a look at this cute and comfy pair for spring:

Outfit Ideas for Work from Home Outfits

A comfortable jumpsuit or an upgraded sweat suit is like lounging while you work. And It can even look presentable on Zoom, especially with the right accessories. With two-piece sets, you can break them up to combine with the rest of your wardrobe.

For a Zoom call: 

• Wear a top that’s interesting, in perhaps a print or with a special neckline, detail or collar. Add jewels (necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings.)

Comfortable in a Dress

• Dress down a dress by wearing flats.
• Dress down a dress with accessories:  rustic wooden or stone beads, a cord pendant, a scarf or bandanna in cotton or rayon that may have tassels or fringe.
• Go minimalistic by just wearing a midi dress with sneakers, sandals or slippers.
• A casual jacket or vest (i.e., faux leather, suede, moto, denim, fleece, etc.) over a nice dress.
• A casual dress + a cardigan. Add sandals.
• A t-shirt dress + sneakers. Add a topper + a delicate necklace.

Casual Work From Home Outfits With a Skirt

• A comfortable t-shirt or sweater + any skirt, including a maxi. Add heels or slides.
• If you like to mix prints, wear a printed t-shirt with a printed skirt. Add sneakers.

Work From Home Outfits With Pants

• A black tank or tee + olive pants + sneakers. You might want to add a black hoodie for warmth. This color combination is just a suggestion; use any color combo you like!
• A casual top + dress pants — the best of both worlds! Feel professional while staying comfortable.
• A tunic + cropped pants or gauchos. Add flat sandals.
• Start with a great top + comfortable jeans or pants (such as a metallic top, ruffled, peplum, a t-shirt in a flattering color and/or neckline, a white shirt maybe tied at the waist with the sleeves cuffed, etc.) You may like to wear wedges or flat sandals.

A Step Up in Jeans

• A long cardigan + a top to match + jeans.
• A printed kimono + jeans + a solid-color top in a color to match your kimono. Add mules + hoop earrings + a couple of delicate pendants.
• A leopard-print top + blue jeans + a long black cardigan. Add oxford shoes.
• A striped top + blue jeans + a long (boyfriend or grandpa) cardigan. Add loafers + hoop earrings + a couple of delicate gold or silver pendants.
• A t-shirt + jeans + a printed scarf.

Laid Back in Jogger Pants

• A t-shirt + jogger pants. The pants could be jersey or velvet or silk/satin or sweatshirt material. The t-shirt could be sequined, silk, velvet, cashmere, ruffled, etc.; stay open to the possibilities. You might like to add a hoodie for warmth and sneakers for more laid-back comfort. This is a super-casual outfit that doubles for an exercise session or a walk outside.

Getting Work Done in Lounge Pants

• A sweater or t-shirt (solid, graphic, printed, striped, silk, sequined, etc.) + lounge pants + a cardigan around shoulders in case it gets cold. Add sneakers, clogs, mules or slip-on sandals.
• A boyfriend cardigan + lounge pants or pajama pants. Just button the cardi in the middle or slip a camisole, tank or tee under it.
• A polo top + lounge pants. Accessorize as desired.
• A Henley top/sweater + lounge pants or yoga pants. Add sneakers or espadrilles + drop earrings.
• Lounge pants + a matching-color top and earrings. Add espadrilles.

Loosen Up in a Tunic

• A tunic + leggings. Add slip-on sneakers.
• A tunic + palazzo pants, bootcuts or flares. Add sandals.
