As many of us continue to embrace the new normal of work from home, our past routines and now been replaced with new habits. Your morning coffee run has now been replaced with home-made cold brew, and your old custom of getting dressed up? Now replaced with stylish but still comfortable items that look great from the waist-up, just in case you get called in for a last minute Zoom call or interview.
If being presentable is key for your video conference calls, you might want to invest in a couple of silk or satin shirts. While cotton shirts might tend to get wrinkly and slightly uncomfortable after a long day, these flowy shirts are not only appropriate for work, the ease of wear will allow you to work comfortably at your desk for hours. And once you’re off duty, you can switch up your bottoms for something slightly dressier for a quick drink outside with friends!
If you’re the sort who hates weaing pants at home, try a satin shirt dress instead and you won’t risk accidentally flashing your shorts if you stand up during a call.
Who says you have to look sloppy during a coffee/grocery run? This satin pyjama shirt from Zara is the perfect options to run errands in.
