In recent years, teleworking has been increasingly developing. It allows employees, delighted, to reduce their travel time and improve their productivity. They often work in more flexible and therefore relaxed conditions. In addition, the rise of digital technology allows many freelancers to also work from home.
With these new working habits, the question of a suitable locker room arises.
What professional attire should you wear when working from home?
Find the balance between comfort and professionalism
Outfits for home, but suitable for work
All the greatest businessmen (and women) will tell you: "When you work, you dress up." Indeed, if you think that when you are at home, you can stay in old school pajamas or in old faded jogging pants to carry out your professional activity, you will send a biased message to your brain. A sloppy outfit is psychologically associated with relaxation, even lazing around.
As a result, you will have a hard time motivating yourself and you will not be efficient in your various tasks. It is essential to separate the different times of your day. The ritual of washing, dressing and doing your hair in the morning to prepare for your work day allows you to switch concretely to it and to move from sleep mode to a more dynamic phase. However, there is no need to inflict a three-piece suit or a suit and stilettos on yourself when you stay at home!
You have more latitude to find the right compromise which consists of dressing professionally, but keeping the little cocooning side which you are entitled to when you work from home. Comfortably.
Dress well for yourself... but also for others
Teleworking does not mean that you are isolated. Indeed, your colleagues, your clients or your n+1 will continue to interact with you, often via videoconference, sometimes impromptu… So you have to be prepared!
Having the right telework clothes will show that your professionalism and commitment remain constant, even when you are working from home. Whoever you are talking to, they will immediately be put in a good place to talk if they see you dressed in a way that they consider professional.
Opt for smart casual outfits
How to create an outfit that is both comfortable and stylish?
Teleworking often means a static position in front of a computer. There is no need to wear clothes that are too tight, which will restrict your movements and create unpleasant friction points. Instead, choose a loose and comfortable outfit while ensuring that the style remains minimalist. Forget graphic t-shirts and shirts open to the navel! Your clothes dedicated to teleworking must also be adapted to the temperature of your apartment or house. Indeed, too much heat or, on the contrary, too cool an atmosphere will harm your work capacities.
So, a clean and well-ironed t-shirt , whether it's a round neck or a V-neck, a white shirt, elasticated pants can be enough to stay elegant. Keep it simple, it's effective and guarantees your credibility. Being overdressed at home in front of your computer can even seem suspicious ;)
