[dropcaps type=’normal’ font_size=’65’ color=’#232323′ background_color=” border_color=”]D[/dropcaps] uring this time of widespread working from home, we are also experiencing a shift in wardrobe needs to meet the new demands of working remotely. While the idea of sweatpants everyday appeals, we find that sweatpants do not necessarily make for a work-oriented outlook. Many of those offering advice on working from home suggest sticking to an office-like routine: get up early, exercise, shower and be prepared for the day before you log on. That includes dressing the part. Our favorite wardrobe solution for the demands of these strange days is the jumpsuit.
The selection criteria is based on a simple demand: be able to jump from a video call to a game of apartment hide-and-seek, to building Legos on the floor, and back. All while looking like you never left your chair. We selected these particular jumpsuits for having forgiving fabrics, relaxed but not sloppy fits, and polished details.
Pair them with some sleek Birkenstocks and you’re good to go – or stay in, as the case may be.
