My WFH Attire Is Getting Stale—7 Pieces I'm Eyeing to Give My Cozy Clothes a Makeover

Working from home definitely comes with its highs and lows, but no matter where you land on that debate, one thing's for sure—feeling good in your workspace (even if that's your couch) is worth prioritizing. The easiest way to set yourself up for a productive day? Dressing in a way that makes you feel put-together and ready for whatever comes your way. Staying in your pajamas all day might save you five minutes, but it's not worth it. You'll feel far more productive if you get dressed.

Now, this doesn't mean you need to be in a blazer at your kitchen table, but small upgrades—like sweatpant denim, luxe slippers, and a polished blouse to throw on for video calls—can make all the difference. Think of it this way: Swap the worn-out sweatpants with something you wouldn't mind being seen in at your local coffee shop, or trade your bedtime T-shirt for a quality one. You get the idea.

Keep scrolling for the key pieces that'll make working from home feel just a little more stylish.

1. Sweatpant Denim

If you love the comfort of sweatpants but want to look put-together, sweatpant denim is the perfect solution. These hybrid pants have the soft feel of loungewear but the structured look of jeans, making them ideal for days when you want to feel relaxed yet polished. Whether you're heading out for a coffee run or hopping on a last-minute video call, these are the ultimate work-from-home pants.

2. Sleek Sneakers

Instead of throwing on your beaten-up workout shoes to quickly run an errand, walk the dog, or grab a bite to eat, opt for something a little sleeker. Whether you are wearing your sweats, leggings, or jeans, a pair of these sneakers will help to keep your look clean.

3. Polished Blouse

More often than not, you will have to take a last-minute video call with your co-workers or a client. If you are still in your pajamas or a more comfortable outfit that day, having a polished blouse to throw on will alleviate any stress you may feel in that moment. (No one has to know what you're wearing on the bottom.)

4. Crewneck Sweater

A good crewneck sweater is one of those effortless pieces that instantly makes you look more refined without any extra effort. It's the perfect layer to throw on when your home office gets a little chilly or when you need to appear polished on-screen. Opt for a knit that's both cozy and chic, whether it's a classic neutral or something with a subtle statement detail.

5. Classic Tanks and Tees

Graphic tees bring personality to your look, but sometimes, you just need a really good classic T-shirt. A well-fitting tee in a high-quality fabric is the foundation of any great work-from-home outfit, whether you pair it with leggings, denim, or those stylish sweatpants I mentioned earlier. Choose one with a flattering cut and soft fabric for maximum comfort and effortless style.

6. Cozy Slippers

If you're going to spend most of the day at home, you might as well treat your feet to a little luxury. A pair of cozy slippers will keep you comfortable while still feeling elevated enough to wear all day. Whether you go for plush shearling, sleek slides, or a classic moccasin style, the right pair will make you feel instantly more put-together—even if your meetings are only happening over Zoom.

7. Dainty Necklaces

Dainty necklaces are a secret weapon in the world of accessories. They are convenient because they typically are so small that you can sleep in them, so when you wake up, your neck is already doused in stunning strands of gold. I recommend layering them for a standout look. They will also make your overall appearance more put-together on a video or conference call.
