Working from home definitely has its fair share of pros and cons, but regardless of that never-ending list feeling good in your workplace, even if that’s your home, is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. One of the best ways to feel confident and ready for a full day of work is by dressing the part and being prepared for whatever the day might throw at you. In other words, wearing your pajamas might not be the most productive choice.
I am not saying you need to wear a full-on suit while sitting at your at-home desk, but I am saying that little things such as comfortable polished blouses, cute pants and, leggings to throw on when you need to make a video call are all simple ways to feel better while working.
One brand that has some great pieces to wear while you work from home is NIC+ZOE. I first discovered NIC+ZOE a number of years ago and have been delighted ever since.
Every item is effortlessly chic and flattering, with pieces that are essential to your wardrobe. This season’s collection brings wonderful textures, wardrobe staples, statement basics that coordinate very well with each other, and what’s already in your closet.
I fell in love with this Copper Kiss Shirt Jacket. It is crafted from super-stretchy, mid-weight Italian stretch fabric. It can be styled as either a top or a lightweight layer. It looks great paired with white pants.
The Cocktail Hour Tie Blouse and Pants are the perfect duo for summer days. It has a playful, whimsical print and a sleek, flattering silhouette. It has a flattering detail, ultra-stretchy fabric, and perfect for zoom meetings.
NIC+ZOE. Inspired by the busy, multi-tasking women in our lives—we start our design process with a commitment to comfort and versatility (because we’re all about that work-life balance). We always craft our clothes with innovative fabrics that have stretch, breathability, and soft, wear-all-day comfort. These are styles that are made for your 9-to-5 (and beyond!)—sleek, powerful, feminine, and bold—infused with unique, sophisticated details, bold, bright colors and playful prints and patterns. Every color, every stitch, every button is carefully selected and we’re always thinking about ways to make your life easier (and more stylish).
We’re obsessed with creating the perfect playful prints featuring mood-boosting colors and patterns because we believe that when you’re wearing something you love; things feel a little brighter. It’s our mission to infuse women with confidence – to help illuminate your inner glow with pieces that make you feel like the best possible versions of yourselves.
As the world has shifted, there are some things that we’ve changed, too – we’ve started using our social platforms to connect in more meaningful ways – like sharing our favorite recipes, advice for staying productive at home, and ideas for celebrating and staying close to our loved ones while remaining socially distant. We’ve started hosting photoshoots in our apartments, taking our company-wide meetings virtual (and closing out everyone with our best Netflix recommendations), we’re transforming our bedrooms into fit-rooms and living rooms into showrooms, and entertaining each other with pets, kids, and, of course, Zoë’s *perfect* WFH playlist. Through it all, we’ve even managed to master the art of “Zoom dressing” (hint: it’s business on top, comfort on the bottom). But here’s the thing that hasn’t changed: our commitment to creativity and creating pieces that make every day a little brighter. We still firmly believe that a pretty print, a soft sweater, or your favorite (ultra-flattering) pants can make the difference between a good day and a great one. To us, style is intrinsic to who we are and, dressing up in our favorite colors and prettiest prints make us feel like ourselves…even when the world feels like it’s entirely different. Sure, we’re a little more relaxed than usual – we’re wearing less makeup, comfier pants, and haven’t worn our heels in months—but, still, we’re finding daily joy in the sleekness of a knit blazer, the whimsy of a pretty new print, and the comfort of a colorfully cozy sweater. We’re never going to stop celebrating the boldness, enthusiasm, and creativity of women everywhere – here’s to all of us.
If you are new to NIC+ZOE, I highly recommend checking it out. The fabrics are comfortable, travel well and most are washable. Plus if you are looking for a mix and match wardrobe or are putting together a capsule wardrobe, this can be a great place to start.
