Cosy put chic pairings to make you feel ready for the day…

It’s been well over 10 years now since I worked in an office, so if there’s one thing I know in this world – it’s the do’s and don’t’s of working from home. Daytime TV?! Major no no, been there, done that (not done the work!!). But getting ready for the day in an outfit you feel great in?! 10/10 would recommend. So today I’ve trawled through the new-in section of Sezane* to bring you four outfit formulas to try if you’re based from home this week; from the set that feels like it’s basically pyjamas, to some wide leg denim that I’d really, really recommend…
OUTFIT ONE: The Knitted Vest
This is one that I’ve really been enjoying recently, essentially using a knitted vest – like this Samuel Jumper* – as a layering piece (instead of just wearing it on it’s own during the warmer months). If you’ve cranked up the heating then the Conrad T-Shirt* will work underneath, or just wear your favourite jumper as a base. The Wide Leg Trousers* are a really great piece of denim – slouchy enough to be WFH appropriate, but an item you’ll wear all week long (like the sizing advice online I’d opt for your normal size for an oversized fit, or a size down if you prefer it tighter on the waist – I’m wearing a 12). Throw on some ballerinas* incase you need to pop out, and a bold earring* and you’re good to go.

OUTFIT TWO: The Comfies
There is no better feeling than working from home in what is essentially pyjamas. Now I’m not talking the type you sleep in. I’m talking about the kind that are too fancy to sleep in – these are your daytime pyjamas. The ones you slip into when you’re fresh out the shower in the morning. My advice would be to try and find a set that works well with your everyday wardrobe, so you can break them up and wear them separately out and about and look for natural fibres for ultimate cosiness and comfort. The Maxence Jumper* and Lazare Trousers* are both 100% merino wool and tick all the boxes. Wear them with a clog like this* and you’re well on your way to a productive laptop day.

OUTFIT THREE: The Classics
If you still want that ‘officewear’ feel, but just with a few tweaks to make it more practical for WFH, then here’s a formula to give a go. An oversized shirt is comfy, whether you’re in a meeting room or sat up to your kitchen table – and the Tomboy Shirt* is a classic for a reason (I like to size up for a more billowy look). Try it with the Ciara Trouser*, which is almost a legging/trouser hybrid – has the shape of a crop flare but the feel of leggings. Throw a cardi* over the top if you’re feeling a bit chilly, a loafer* and a nice earring* and you’ll be feeling polished.

OUTFIT FOUR: The Essentials
When I saw this Andie Cardigan* I was thought ‘I HAVE to include that!’. How gorgeous is it?! Heavyweight and just one of those pieces that you just want to snuggle down in. Grab your laptop – we’re heading to the sofa! Why not pair it with essentials that you already have in your wardrobe? Pop a vest top* underneath and wear it with your favourite wide leg trousers*, add as simple hoop* and fun flat* for a bit of pattern – just all those things in your wardrobe that you just LOVE to wear.
