Look of the Week
How to work from home like a boss
Words & styling - Taj Hayer
Illustrations - Fiona Dunphy
It was once thought that working from home was the dream. Endless trips to the fridge, being able to wear what and watch what you like and a certain relaxation of how much work you actually get done. This is no longer the case.
In our recent article on self care tips to help you during self-isolation, we recommend trying to keep to a routine - working, eating and exercising as per what life was like before lockdown. Part of this philosophy involves getting dressed for work. Of course, unless you work for BBC News, you do not any longer have to wear a suit to work. Instead try and have some degree of comfort and function.
Ron Dorff’s sweatshirts exemplify comfort x functionality and for SS20 there is an incredibly easy array to choose from. The CHILL sweatshirt pretty much sums of our mood right now. Instead of old joggers or pjs, smarten up a little with cropped and tapered trousers from Maison Kitsuné at Mr Porter. The drawstring waistband is the perfect compromise between comfort, simplicity and laid back elegance. For the feet, the smart sneaker is still our leading shoe of choice, and these new Rick Owens x Veja from Matches Fashion are made from a biodegradable faux leather.
