Now, more than
ever, many people are working from home or via a remote location, which has
sparked many discussions on workplace productivity, diversity and mental
health. But where is the discussion about how working from home affects
workplace fashion? Well, we are about to have it right here.
The number of
people telecommuting or working remotely has grown by 159 per cent over the last 12 years, according to a study conducted by Global Workplace Analytics. This has
provided both employees and employers with more flexibility in all aspects of
business, and it has virtually eliminated workplace dress codes.
If you work from
home, it may be easy to stay in your pyjamas all day, not brush your teeth
until 5 p.m. or work from the comfort of your own bed. And statistically, while
those who work remotely are more productive than their counterparts who work in an
office, all of those factors above could lead to a loss in productivity,
creativity and motivation while on the job.
If you’re looking
to revamp or improve your work from home wardrobe, consider this style advice
and these hacks that will have you looking fabulous while feeling comfortable.
Tops Perfect for Remote Workers
If you work from
home, you could stay in your favourite oversized t-shirt all day. But what
happens when you have to video conference in or run to a quick meeting at a
local coffee shop? That t-shirt isn’t going to cut it. Think about bold plus size blouses
that will have you feeling motivated and on your A-game.
●
Flowy Tops –Of course, no one wants to be wearing a blazer
while they work from home because that’s just simply not comfortable. But when
you opt for a flowy blouse with unique embellishments, you’re pairing comfort
with style, which should make you feel great about your remote look.
●
Opt for Black –Black will always be a sharp colour that can make
even the most comfortable clothing look like it belongs in an office. Whether
you choose a blouse made out of a soft, stretchy jersey material or a more
structured blouse, if it’s black, you will feel put together and chic.
●
Printapalooza –If you still need a “pick me up” after your first
cup of coffee in the morning, throw a blouse on that has a bold pattern or
vibrant colour to wake you up. According to colour theory, warmer bright colours can positively impact your mood, and if you’re feeling confident and
happy, you are more likely to be more productive.
