Capsule Wardrobe Ideas for Stylish Work From Anywhere Days
The only pieces you need to look polished from couch to co-working.
When your office changes from your living room to the airport, or to a coworking space at a local coffee shop, your wardrobe needs to keep up. Finding pieces that blend business with a lifestyle as someone constantly working from anywhere or just your home office can be difficult. That’s where a capsule wardrobe comes in.
A handful of versatile pieces to mix, match, and fit the minimal everyday aesthetic is the key to maintaining style when it comes to remote or unpredictable work schedules. Whether you are jumping on a Zoom call, traveling every weekend, grabbing lunch with a friend in between work blocks, or living the digital nomad life, these are the perfect capsule wardrobe pieces to help you look and feel your best from wherever your laptop is open.
Asymmetrical Button Sweater Tank
Every woman knows the power of a classic black top when it comes to having no idea what to wear. This Abercrombie asymmetrical tank is chic and structured with a high-neck, blending comfort and style with a sweater-like fabric. Ideal for a quick Zoom call or in-office work day, pair it with trousers or a maxi skirt for a sleek silhouette for any event.
Stretch Crepe Double-Breasted Blazer
There is nothing like a polished blazer to elevate an everyday look. This Quince relaxed blazer comes in navy, black, and morel, three colors perfect for mixing and matching. Wrinkle-resistant and oversized, this blazer is perfect to throw over a WFH or travel fit, maintaining that comfort while also letting everyone know you have that entrepreneurial style.
