This Vince Camuto surplice top feels as soft as your casual basics, but offers a more polished look. Paired with any type of comfortable bottom, it’ll be completely professional from the waist up.
2. A soft blazer
There will be days when you peek at the calendar, see no video calls, and don a T-shirt and jeans for work — just because you can. And of course those are the days your boss will ping you and ask for a quick video chat. Keep your personal brand on point by having a soft blazer on hand. Toss it on over your T and, voila, you’re as professional as can be.
This check blazer from Amazon was made to wear over an otherwise simple outfit. It’s mostly polyester too, which translates to low maintenance. Plus, it’s only $35 — a wise investment that you can wear working from home and to the office when you return to your regular schedule.
3. A cozy legging
Soft and cozy is the way to go when you’re working from home. Who wants to deal with too-snug bottoms that restrict movement? The idea is to dress in garments that are presentable, yet still relaxed.
A pair of supple leggings, like these Xhilaration Super Softs, is perfect for your stint at home. They’re great to wear with anything from the aforementioned blouse to loose-fit tees for comfort from waist to ankle.
4. A soft slipper
Now is the time to undo all the damage your office shoes have done to your feet. Ditch the heels for a soft pair of slippers to add a little luxury and self-care to your workday. The only downside is that you’ll miss them when you have to go back to the office.
Any slipper will work, but why not add a little flair? These Jessica Simpson slippers have leopard print detail, which is basically a neutral, right? Or, they’re also available in more traditional colors if you prefer something more muted. You can find them on Amazon, the king of online clothing stores.
5. A cute shoe
If you want to step outside and take a walk around the neighborhood for a little bit of fresh air (highly recommended if you’re cooped up inside most of the day), don’t minimize the value of super-cute shoes.
You don’t need any type of high-intensity performance sneaker, unless you want to go for a run. Otherwise, try something that you can quickly slip into, like these Keds x Draper James Kickstart Chambray kicks. The rubber sole is highly supportive, and they’ll help you work out the kinks in your legs while you power walk around the block.
6. A pretty accessory
The addition of a cute statement accessory or two can help you dress up your look just enough to give you a pulled together feel. You’ll also feel a little more polished during those video calls with higher-ups and clients.
This BaubleBar Aprille Pearl Pendant Necklace is a chic choice that adds a little hint of dressiness to any outfit.
