Data shows that a bit of efforts pays off. It’s good to define a work – life separation for better management. I have to remember that I am still on the clock and and business meetings are unavoidable. Video conferencing has become an essential part of WFH and I would not want to show off my sleep wear style over professional video calls.
Hence, my work from home wardrobe essentials include sweat pants, trackpants, joggers, printed palazzo and comfortable wide leg denim pants.

For example – plain solid t-shirts are great but graphical printed t shirts or sneakers can instantly step up your outfit. See below, that’s how your WFH style look like.
