As we get into the swing of 2022 its back to work and back to the wardrobe, however many of us are not back into the office. With the ‘new normal’ working from home, jumping from Zoom call to Teams meetings it can be difficult to figure out how to blend comfort with corporate when it comes to style.
Maybe You Have Found Yourself Seated In Front Of Your Laptop, Wearing A Smart Shirt, Brushed Hair, Lipstick And Earrings, Yet Out Of View Of The Camera You’re Wearing Activewear. Or Maybe You Simply Need Some Inspiration To Freshen Up Your Wardrobe To Get Back To Work Ready.
Even when you’re working from home it is important to wear clothes that make you feel confident, professional and appropriate so you can put your energy into engaging with your work and meetings instead of feeling self-conscious. It’s time to incorporate maximum comfort with confidence and style.
Whether you are going back into the office or continuing to work from home I want to help you get Back to Work Ready. I have curated some styles to help you ease back into the office or get dressed for the camera from the waist up, as well as a few bottoms for comfort and accessories to finish off the outfit. Combining soft, breathable materials and visual textures with classic silhouettes, let’s make getting dressed for work fun and effortless!
Tops
Stand out from all the other little tiny squares when you’re in an online meeting by incorporating colour, dynamic necklines or a blazer (with stretch for comfort) to bring style to your top half. Simply adding a blazer over a plain tee or white shirt will instantly take your outfit from casual to professional, with the added benefit of the blazer bringing a greater sense of self-confidence through the strong shoulder silhouette. Light rib knit and crochet tops are a great choice as they won’t crease, which means no ironing in the morning to save time!

Bottoms
Style up your bottom half even if you’re on zoom for the extra boost of confidence but don’t worry comfort is still key. Knit pants and pleated skirts are great for not worrying about creases when you stand up. Tie Waist Pants are perfect for adjusting to your comfort and bring a dynamic element to create a waist line silhouette, they’re the perfect pair of pants for mixing and matching with basic tee for a casual look or silk blouse for something more dressed up.

Shoes
Whether you are walking all day or sitting at your desk your shoes are I love Bared shoes as the brand was founded by a podiatrist so they’re made for comfort and the bonus is they’re super stylish!

Necklaces and earrings are a simple yet impactful way to bring style to any outfit.
