However, if you\u2019re one of those people who wanted to wear the following to the office in the past but HR would probably call you in, here\u2019s what\u2019s included in your dress-up casual work from home collection of clothes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Crop tops and bralettes, certainly trending this year especially for those who spent their free time during the pandemic working out.<\/li><li>Oversized blazers<\/li><li>Jeans, both baggy or with rips<\/li><li>Cropped pants, capri pants, or palazzo pants<\/li><li>Leggings<\/li><li>Mini skirts \/ shorts<\/li><li>Sandals or wedges<\/li><li>Sneakers<\/li><li>Casual dresses<\/li><li>Leather clothing<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of this as an opportunity to elevate your casual wardrobe so that you look casually dressed to impress at all times.&nbsp; Because let\u2019s face it, you\u2019re not going to stay home all day, every day. You\u2019ll go crazy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the day you might schedule a lunch appointment or a doctor\u2019s appointment.&nbsp; Quickly run to the grocery, or dry cleaners, or pick up your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t need to get ready for work anymore. In fact, you should still maintain your usual morning routine so that you don\u2019t fall into the slump that many self-employed people fall into when they work from home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I wake up, first I have my coffee.&nbsp; Then I do some cardio for 30 \u2013 45 minutes. Then I eat a protein packed or Keto friendly breakfast, take a shower, apply my skincare, and get dressed.&nbsp; If I\u2019m staying home all day, you might see me in gym clothes for the majority of the day because I might have pulled out my laptop and started working already. However, if I have to meet with a client, have an appointment, or need to go to an event, I will do my morning routine and get dressed \u2013 wearing dressed-up casual attire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>So here are some shoppable links to look casually dressed to impress.<\/strong><\/p><cite>work from home fashion according to style expert, michelle t. sterling<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Work from Home Wardrobe Essentials<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate work from home fashion tip! <strong>If you&#8217;re trying to maximize your look from workout to work, try these tops with yoga pants.<\/strong> If you have to meet someone or see them on zoom, you can dress up these relatively sexy and stylish tops with an oversized blazer! <\/p>\n\n\n<div data-sc-widget-id=\"P-60dd2d5adc79a86e64ee227b\"><\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/widgets.shopstyle.com\/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re client-facing or on zoom calls while working from home.&nbsp; It\u2019s important that the top half of your body still <strong>look professional<\/strong>.&nbsp; At a minimum, <strong>wear a collared shirt<\/strong>.&nbsp; This tip goes for men and women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-sc-widget-id=\"P-60ddd84834abbd1fb5191625\"><\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/widgets.shopstyle.com\/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a woman, I recommend wearing <strong>puffed sleeves<\/strong> to give you some umph along with a statement necklace.
