The coronavirus pandemic around the world is leading to stringent quarantine measures. And many, to the best of their ability, have to work remotely from home. And again, this unsettles many, because everyone is used to getting ready for work on all fronts: makeup, manicure, hairstyle, business suit. But at home you really don't want to get out of your cozy pajamas! We have selected several looks and options for home clothes in which you will definitely want to work productively. Even within the native walls!

How to “get ready” and enter the home work mode?

Alas, indeed, those who have always worked in the office cannot work from home today. Firstly, it is stress and restructuring of all working regimes. This is laziness, relaxation and discouragement when you don't feel like doing anything. This is a dream until lunchtime and films until two o'clock in the morning, and only intermittent hours remain for work during the day.

And secondly, there are “beloved and dear walls” around: to put the laundry, cook dinner, walk the dog, keep the children busy, distract from the husband ... It is really difficult to work in such stressful conditions. We've put together a few general tips for getting into home work mode.

1. Make a sleep and wake schedule

If it was difficult for you to get up for work at 6-7 in the morning, under quarantine conditions you can quite afford to sleep an extra hour. But no more! Set your alarm and try to get up on time. The same goes for going to bed: no matter how much you want to watch another episode, go to bed at such a time to get enough sleep.

2. Plan your work schedule

By being at home, you can afford to interrupt your workflow at your convenience. For example, you can set aside 2-3 hours for work in the morning after breakfast, then 2 hours after cooking lunch, and then another 2 hours in the evening. Focus on what your loved ones are doing so that they do not distract you from work.

3. Equip the workplace

Your home workspace doesn't have to be a couch with a pillow and a laptop on your lap. Get up and sit down at the table, otherwise you will not be able to concentrate and collect. Remove all unnecessary items from the table. Even if the dining table is the only table in your home, empty it completely before you sit down to work.

Finally, change your clothes! Yes, get up in the morning, take a shower, comb your hair. You don't need to wear makeup, let your skin rest, but you should look attractive. Take off your pajamas and put on your business attire. After all, it can be "business" at home. Let it be not an ironed jacket and a strict pencil skirt, let the "home-work" uniform be more comfortable and convenient, but it should not be neither pajamas, nor a greasy bathrobe! Here are some options on how to dress at home for a telecommuting job.

Home suit

You can easily afford to work from home in your home suit. Only it should not be a suit made in "riveted by himself" from stretched sweatpants and a T-shirt in rolls. Do you buy business clothes for office work? Therefore, it is worth to fork out for home clothes for work.



It can be a silk or brightly printed pajama-style suit, or a soft and cozy knitted suit that resembles a sporty one. The main thing is that it is not pajamas, otherwise it will in any way discord your working mood and incline everything to the same in order to move from a laptop to a sofa.

Men's cut shirt

And even better, even with the same house trousers, wear a classic men's-cut shirt. It can be free and not restraining movement. You can even borrow it from your husband's or boyfriend's wardrobe.Just do not choose bright "Hawaiian" options with tropical flowers and palm leaves, prefer laconic basic shades or traditional checkered print.

The shirt is perfect for those who have to negotiate with colleagues, partners or clients via video communication in one way or another. It doesn't matter what you are wearing under the table - even if the same comfortable home trousers, but from above you look quite like an office one. At the same time, it is advisable to tidy up your hair and apply a drop of makeup.

Home dress

Are you used to wearing dresses to the office? Are your business suits complete with a skirt? In the spring, do you wear a jacket over an airy dress to work? Then a home dress-robe for working remotely is just the option that will suit you in the best way. Again, this should not be a greasy “grandmother's” dressing gown (and about the same age).

Choose beautiful home dresses, in which you are not ashamed to receive guests or go out - but not in quarantine! Choose a color according to your mood and taste, for sure you know perfectly well which shades suit you. Psychologists say that red and orange, bright yellow, lemon and lime, as well as blue and emerald colors help to tune in to a working mood.

Cardigan

Working at a computer is usually not accompanied by active movements. And sitting at the table for 2 hours, you can chill. A beautiful and cozy warm cardigan will help save you from the cold. Under it, you can wear a home suit, a T-shirt, a shirt, and a dress - whatever.

Cardigans with 3/4 sleeves look great - in these it will be convenient to work with the keyboard and mouse, they do not hinder the movement of the hands from the elbow. In addition, this sleeve length is in trend in 2020. You can choose options with buttons or without a fastener, only on a belt, or without it at all. Warm knit or thin knitwear - choose the material depending on the "weather conditions" in your home.

Jeans

For many, denim at home is something unacceptable, since skinny tight jeans, for example, really will not be comfortable for sitting at the computer. But if you take banana jeans, the trendiest model of 2020, or loose oversized jeans, as if two sizes larger, then you will definitely be comfortable in them!

Jeans are streetwear. Therefore, you subconsciously tune in to the fact that you are not at home, and the work will go more productive. Look for high waistband options. Choose from pretty distressed ripped jeans or a more classic piece in dark, solid denim.
