The 14 Must-Have Staples To Build A Comfortable Work Uniform You Won’t Hate
by The Candidly Team
So, we’ve made it here.
Many of us have spent over a year working from our “home offices” aka the couch the bed the chair the kitchen counter the floor, rattling around in the new, body-mullet that will define our sartorial year of the pandemic: worky on the top, jammies on the bottom.
Because if we only have to look presentable from the nipples up for a zoom call, you’re damn right the sweatpants stay bloody on.
So now that the world is officially opening up, and we’re forced to confront the idea of wearing an entire work outfit, top and bottom, gone are the days where we’re willing to wriggle into soul-annihilating pencil skirts and heel-scraping kitten heels.
Because we realized something important:
We can just be comfortable all the time.

So we rounded up 12 real-woman outfits, lightly inspired by the items above, as thought-starters to get you going. Who knows—you might even get…..excited about wearing work clothes again?
