Homewear in the home office - tips & tricks
Since many of us have been spending more time working from home, the question inevitably arises: what should I actually wear to be dressed comfortably but smart enough for work at home? Homewear or its luxurious sister loungewear are obvious options, but be careful: not all homewear is suitable for the home office.
Which clothing is suitable for the home office?
Basically, there are a few characteristics that should be fulfilled for all clothing in the home office:
- Of course, we also want to take the advantages of the home office into account when choosing our clothes, so the following applies: nothing should pinch, the clothes should be comfortable.
- At the same time, it's important not to become a slouchy couch potato when we're ten minutes away from the next online meeting about the big new order from Japan. In other words, our home office attire shouldalso show that work is not leisure time.
- What the camera does to our appearance in the many video calls is also often underestimated. The same applies here as in portrait photography: it's better to avoid excessive color contrasts and patterns, as they distract from what is so important in every conversation - our facial expressions.
- Ideal for long periods of sitting are materials such as merino wool, which do not crease and are breathable. Merino is also perfect for direct skin contact, it is cuddly soft and when we sweat it cools us down, when we are cold it warms us up.
- Last but not least, we naturally also want to make a statement with our choice of clothing when working from home. We also want to show our personality through our clothesin the home office : Elegant, smart or casual.
Which homewear is ideal for the home office?
Many homewear collections naturally meet the criteria listed above, but not all of them. What should you look out for?
- Keyword couch potato: We advise against Nikki jersey suits. They may be warm and cozy, but they often look cheap and send the wrong message that it makes no difference whether I'm sitting in front of Netflix in the evening after the gym or on a video call with my boss.
- Many conventional homewear collections come across as very pretentious. Rhinestone appliqués, pink plush, leopard prints - we've seen it all before and it's not suitable for the home office.
- We recommend natural fibers, which are not only comfortable to wear, but also give homewear a high-quality touch.
- You shouldn't just limit your search and selection to homewear, but also consider high-quality loungewear. Loungewear looks classy and elegant in the home office, but still has the comfortable wearing properties of conventional homewear.
