What to Wear When You Work From Home

what to wear when you work from home

 

Saturday evening will mark the end of the first week of our governor’s stay at home order.ย As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, I’ve worked from home for the last 15 years. You would think I’d be used to being homebound, but it’s been a hard week. And to dampen the mood, literally, the weather forecast is rain through Sunday. We still have a ton of projects to complete inside the house that will keep us busy, but getting out for a daily walk is the one thing that clears my head and keeps me sane.ย 

ย 

Anyway, back to working from home. One of the questions I get again and again is what to wear when you work from home. It’s easy to fall into a pajama/sweat pants type of uniform. One of my tips in Tuesday’s post is to make sure you get dressed every day. It’s something that I’ve always done, and studies show that getting ready not only boosts your mood and self-confidence, but it also helps you be more productive too. You don’t have to stick to the office dress code but find a happy balance between professional and comfortable. You’ll feel more confident, and that will come across in your IMs, emails, and in your voice on conference calls. My work from home formula is business on top and comfy on the bottom.ย 

ย 

So, today I wanted to share a week’s worth of work from home outfits to give you some ideas of what to wear when you work from homet5y6! I always add a few layered necklaces and a fun pair of earrings, so I’m put together for any video conferences. And, on my feet, you’ll usually find slippers, sneakers, or mules.

    I think it is so important to still get dressed when working from home and I love how comfy yet put together all of your outfits are! I am way more productive once I’m showered and ready to face the day!

  3. These are all great ideas, and I love how you look so cute yet comfortable at the same time. I love those cute cropped jeans!

  4. So many great outfits, Jill! I work from home also and my footwear is usually slippers even with a really cute outfit. Haha. But for some reason with the kids home, I havenโ€™t been getting dressed at all and I am feeling the negative effects of that on my mood. We are coming to the end of week 2 of staying at home and I guess I kind of viewed it as a vacation these first 2 weeks and took advantage of not getting myself ready and dressed for the day while I was getting the kids ready for the day. On Monday, I need to get back to regular living and getting dressed!

    Since we have been outdoors more than usual and riding bikes, I have been wearing more comfy pants and shoes but still try to add cute earrings. And still working on wearing skirts here and there! Lots of comfy combos you are sharing!

  18. These are such great, practical and comfy outfits. I usually work remotely a few times a week anyway, so the biggest change for me is doing it more and having longer hours because of other departments being closed. Take care, Madison xo

  21. When I worked at home I did get dressed every day, but not nearly as nicely as you do (and definitely slippers or just socks in the summer). I didn’t have to worry about video conferences back then, though. I can’t even imagine staying in PJs all day though I’m sure it’s wonderfully relaxing and maybe should be given a try once or twice. I love your relaxed looks – still dressy enough for videos but so comfy. Right now I’m still going into the office but it’s pretty quiet except for my area (which is pretty much just me. There are only 3-4 of us there right now anyway and it’s a 10,000 sf building). I’d love a little more time at home to dig into my closet to do some weeding, but I think I need a whole week off to take care of that project :/ Thank you so much for the linkup and stay healthy!

    HI Jill
    I love to see what people wear at home. Love the Ugg slippers. The button fly jeans look great too, love the style. I really like those flared pants with the tunic, a fun boho look.

  37. Such a great tip, Jill. I agree, we need to act as “normal” as possible and getting dressed every day really helps! Your outfits are all super cute and comfy. I love those bells!! Groovy, man. ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. It does feel good to stay in your pj’s all day once in awhile! Video conferences have really changed things haven’t they? Stay safe and healthy!

    These are all great looks, Jill! I concur! It’s so important to put on some makeup and get dressed. Doing so definitely makes me more productive. ๐Ÿ™‚

  41. Hi, Jill – I love outfit inspo; it’s always nice to get more! That’s because I like to wear something different all the time. Lately I’ve been wearing kurtas with skinny jeans and clogs. I have a collection of kurtas in probably ten colors. They are gauzy so I wear them with a camisole under now and just a bra (maybe a lace bralette) to stay cool when the weather is warmer. Thanks for sharing more ideas for my collection! – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com
