I Sit and Work From Home 8 Hours Per Day–These Are the Comfy Outfits I Rely On

As someone that is currently working from home, comfort is key. For the most part, I basically sit at my table or on the couch about eight hours per day as I finish up my work. (Although, I am considering investing in a standing desk as well). Given this, I’ve tested out a range of ensembles that are cozy but also still fashion-forward. There are about five to six specific outfit formulas I’ve been relying on. While most skew on the casual side, there’s also some that feel a bit more dressed up when I need to present during various Zoom meetings.
If you’re looking for a fresh WFH outfit idea, what’s coming your way may be of particular interest. Below, I’m showcasing comfy outfits as highlighted on myself and various fashion follows that also seem to wear the ensembles I’m into at the moment. Keep scrolling for more, along with a range of shopping picks as well.
Cardigan + Tee + Knit Pants
This is one formula that just works thanks to its relaxed and cozy vibe.
Sweatsuit + Sandals
A sweatsuit is not only comfortable, but also incredibly trend-forward as well.
Slouchy Blazer + Tee + Stretchy Jeans
If I need to dress up a bit for a Zoom meeting, I’ll typically toss on a slouchy blazer with a tee and stretchy jeans to feel put together.
Graphic Sweatshirt + Loose Pants + Slides
This is one of my standard looks featuring a printed sweatshirt, looser-fitting pants, and comfy slides.
Turtleneck + Straight-Leg Jeans
Aside from the blazer look above, this is another denim ensemble I've worn to feel chic at home with the comfy turtleneck and straight-leg jeans.
Ribbed Top + Cozy Pants
You just can’t go wrong with this look with the ribbed top and sweater-like pants.
