What To Wear Working From Home: Men’s Lounge Wear

I am an expert in working from home style. My clients have been hiring me for a decade to get them out of their pajamas and into comfortable, stylish lounge clothes that make them feel “not gross,” as they spend 40 hours a week a short stroll away from their unmade bed. Some of you are just getting a taste of what it means to really work from home. For some, the beginning is liberating. You don’t have to get dressed for work?! How efficient is that? For others, it is almost immediately confusing, if not disappointing. Some of you quite literally only own pajamas and office clothes. In the first week, you may have gone through all your go-to casual clothes and now need to either do emergency laundry, or dive into the questionable garments in the back of your closet. Who is wearing a promotional tee as we “speak”? Who is in workout wear as you read this? Let’s change that.

What Not To Wear Working From Home

I think I have already implied it, but I am going to tell you right now that spending an entire day in pajamas will depress you. Going from pajamas to workout wear and then back to pajamas, will also do some damage to your psyche. To keep your spirits lifted and your personal style intact, you need to create a “Working From Home Style”. It can definitely be comprised of stretchy materials and men’s lounge clothes, but they need to be intentional choices. It is my personal mission in life to have your wardrobe make your day better than before you got dressed.

What To Wear Working From Home

Not everyone can slide by in comfortable casual clothes when they are telecommuting. Some of you need to look professional in your daily Zoom meetings. Perhaps the answer is obvious, but in these cases, you want to pair your usual work tops with deliciously comfortable pants. But don’t just pair your work top with your sweat pants — actually make an outfit out of it. The easiest look is pairing your work shirts with stretchy jeans, like the ones I featured in my Best Men’s Colored Jeans post. The other option is to check out the comfortable pants I have recommended below. I am sure some of the pants pictured will pair well with some of your more casual work shirts.
