Getting dressed for work takes on a new look when your office is in your home. While some people feel more productive when they put on the same clothes they would have worn if they had to see the boss every day, most of us would rather be comfortable in work from home clothes. But we still need to look somewhat professional, at least from the waist up for those video conferences.

The good news is that a lot of today’s athleisure choices lean more to the cute and fashionable than oversized. Bonus: Squeezing in a pre- or post-work exercise sesh is easier than ever – you don’t even have to change clothes! We’ve put together an easy primer for building your work-to-workout wardrobe, from head to toe.

Accessories

Less is more when it comes to accessorizing your WFH ensemble. 

1. Leave your hat off. It can cast a shadow on your face and hide your expressions during a video conference call. 
2. Don’t wear jewelry, especially extra shiny or noisy earrings, necklaces and bangles. 
3. Don’t go overboard styling your hair. A simple bun or ponytail will suffice.
4. Most importantly, don’t forget Step 3 of the THRIVE Experience, your Derma Fusion Technology (DFT)!

If you’re looking for some new work from home clothes, the Le-Vel Gear Store carries clothing and accessories for your active lifestyle, both in and out of the office!

One-Piece Dressing

Some days, figuring out what to wear is harder than actually doing your job. Save yourself the challenge of outfit coordination by throwing on a tennis dress or a romper.  

Work From Home Tops

As the “business” part of your work from home outfit, this article of clothing carries the most importance. After all, you don’t want to look like a slob or show too much skin during a virtual team meeting or a client presentation.

Our top tips:

1. Stay away from sports bras, tanks and crop tops and the like.
2. Go for tees in solid colors or subtle patterns. Set aside the sassy slogans and graphics for your virtual happy hours.
3. If you really want to wear your fave tank, layer a wrap over it before you sign into your video conference session.

Work From Home Bottoms

The less visible part of your work from home clothes, the bottom half might still matter if you’re standing up to present a live stream or if you have to answer the door for the delivery driver.

On a warm day or for a more formal presentation, pull on a skort. You can find tailored ones in muted colors or frilly, brightly patterned styles – both choices are great for running a meeting and running a mile.

Joggers and other trouser-style pants look chic and feel cozy for curling up on the couch while you type emails, crunch numbers or prepare proposals. You can get away with sporting a pair of leggings as long as you match them with a longer, tunic-style top to avoid too much exposure. 

Sure you won’t be seen below the waist? Go ahead and grab your comfiest yoga pants or sweats.

Above all, look at yourself in the mirror before you start your workday. If you feel confident in your work from home clothes, you’ll be ready to tackle anything that comes your way!
