👗 Getting Dressed When You Work From Home
Because what you wear still matters — even if no one sees it but you.
Working from home comes with comfort, flexibility, and the occasional pajama-all-day moment. But I’ve found that how I dress impacts how I feel, even when I’m not leaving the house.
At The Everyday Edit, I’ve created a wardrobe rhythm that helps me feel present, polished, and still totally comfortable. Here’s how I approach getting dressed when my office is my living room.
☁️ 1. Dress for the Mood You Want
Even if my schedule is light, I choose outfits that help me:
Feel focused during work blocks
Feel relaxed after hours
Feel like the main character in my own day
I dress as if I’m showing up for something meaningful — because I am.
🧺 2. Create a “WFH Uniform”
I’ve found 2–3 outfit combos that always work:
Comfy knit pants + fitted tee + cardigan
Jumpsuit + gold hoops
Soft jeans + oversized button-down + bare feet
Minimal decisions, maximum confidence.
🧘♀️ 3. Start With Movement, Then Get Ready
After my morning stretch or walk, I actually change clothes. It signals to my brain:
“We’re shifting into work mode now.”
Even if it’s just changing from sleep leggings to day leggings — it matters.
✨ 4. Accessories = Instant Elevation
Even a simple hair clip, dainty earrings, or a tinted lip balm makes me feel more pulled together. I don’t do it for Zoom — I do it for me.
🪞 5. Leave Room for Texture & Tone
I stick to mostly neutral tones (beige, black, white, soft olive), but play with texture:
Ribbed knits
Linen sets
Chunky cardigans
They feel elevated without being “extra.”
🕯 Bonus Tip: Set the Scene
Soft lighting, background music, and a clean surface = part of the outfit.
It’s not just what I wear — it’s the vibe I dress into.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to “dress up” to feel dressed well.
Just show up for yourself with intention, comfort, and ease — whether it’s sweats or silk. Because how you feel in your clothes shapes how you show up in your life.
