With the new normal of “staying home” and “social distancing,” these days have been quite a challenging adjustment! Most of us are now working from home and seeing no one outside of our immediate family from the waist down, so it’s tempting to put less thought into getting dressed. I have found that setting a daily routine is very helpful to get motivated and although I am wearing mostly comfy chic clothes, it feels good to get ready.
The decision of what to wear each day has certainly gotten easier the past couple of weeks. Janet Gunn of The Grateful Gardenia and I recently wrote a timely article for Who What Wear titled, “We’re in Our 50s Working From Home and Are Relying on These 7 Cozy Items” about how to stay cozy in style while laying low or working from home. Read on to see the quarantine chic pieces we’ll be wearing that inspire us to get out of our pajamas and manage our days. I also put together a list below so you can easily take advantage of some great sales going on now.

Work-from-home (WFH), now made official with its own acronym, is going to be the new norm for a while so we wanted to share some of our favorite ways to be comfortable and chic when working remotely and social distancing.
Since we both conduct business out of our home offices on the regular, we have first-hand experience with the challenges of staying focused and on task when remote working. We know there may be the temptation to stay in your pajamas all day long… we get that. However, we felt it was our duty to share a piece of good advice. Before you start your at-home workday, change out of the pj’s you slept in the night before; making this transition signals to your brain that you are ready to kick it into boss-babe mode. This small decision is one of the best ways to motivate and create a positive structure and routine for the day ahead.
We are here to inspire you to get dressed with our top favorite cozy picks below. Most of these items can be mixed and matched, ready to take you from working in the house to stepping outside for a walk or a quick trip to stock up at the market!
TOPS
Let’s start at the top…for the ultimate in comfy think sweatshirts, cozy sweaters, t-shirts, and button-ups. For a bit of a chic twist, try throwing on a kimono style as an option to a long sweater-coat.

ON YOUR FEET
While we love a cozy pair of socks to keep our tootsies warm as we shuffle around the house, it’s also nice to have a comfortable shoe to keep close by for that quick trip to grab the mail, run to the store or simply to step outside and get some fresh air. Our favorite styles are fashion slides and slipper styles.
