If you’ve been an Everygirl for awhile, you already know how keen we are on the concept of a capsule wardrobe: a closet full of items that can be mixed and matched with one another for an infinite amount of combinations and a permanent fix to your “I don’t know what to wear today” conundrum.

At this point, many of us have made the permanent transition from going to the office to working from home. Gone are the days of getting dressed and heading out for a commute, and mornings of getting ready just to decide whether we want to work from our kitchen tables or desks are now the reality.

One of the realities of life is that when you look good, you feel good. Spending every day working from the same gray sweats that you haven’t washed in two weeks? Probably not the most conducive to having a productive work day. Cozy clothes that look cute do in fact exist, and that’s the sweet spot of a perfect work-from-home wardrobe. It’s time to feel put-together for your 9-5, even if you’re working it from your couch.

For when it’s a work-from-the-couch day

We all have those days; the ones where you wake up and know you need to work with your body horizontal for the day. When your main priority is comfort, a cheeky crewneck and chic, split-hem pants are your go-to. To ensure maximum comfort, add a pair of cozy socks, and protect your eyes with blue light glasses you’ll be happy to show off on Zoom.

For a day of Zoom meetings

Have a day full of important virtual meetings? The details on top are all that matter. Opt for a blouse with a Peter Pan collar that will draw the eye (and make onlookers note how professional you look). Gold hoops also draw add an element of looking put-together with quite literally no effort. What they don’t need to know? That you’re wearing leggings on bottom. Win, win.

For a chilly day

As the temperatures start dropping, there’s nothing like the gratitude of looking outside and knowing you can be cozy inside, no commute included. When your space heater is blasting and you want to have a cozy, quintessential day, a chunky knit is key. Pair yours with an easy pair of pull-on pants that feel like sweats, but will make you look a little more put-together (and feel put-together too).
