Comfy Work From Home Wardrobe Essentials for Women

From casual to business-chic, if you’re in need of some comfy work from home wardrobe essentials, this compilation of loungewear will provide the comfort and confidence that you deserve in your workday.

This blog contains commissionable links, but all opinions are my own and I truly appreciate your support.

I have had the privilege of working from home throughout the COVID pandemic and while doing so, found the need to step up my work-from-home wardrobe-essentials.

And I know that for myself and so many others, we are continuing to work from home so if you haven’t already, it’s time to invest in a work-from-home wardrobe!

For me, having some sense of normalcy has been key to maintaining a healthy routine. Every morning, I like to get up, take a shower, put on some mascara, and get dressed.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not getting dressed to the degree I used to, but I truly believe that even the act of taking off your PJ’s to put on different PJ’s will provide a positive shift in your mentality.

So most days, you’ll likely catch me wearing leggings and an athletic long-sleeve top, whereas on days that I have virtual meetings, I like to put on a cute, comfy shirt that could pass as me “putting in effort”. 

Let’s start shopping, shall we?!

For these situations, work-from-home essentials are going to mainly consist of comfy long sleeves, leggings, and joggers, cozy cardigans, etc.
