If you work from home only once or twice a week, take advantage of
the extra time to sleep late or have a solid workout. You can also
dress any way you want. In case, you work from home full time, it is
important not to let sloppiness become a habit. Not only will your
wardrobe become outdated, you may also “forget” how to look sharp
and crisp when you attend business meetings.
Key points
You are still working in your industry, consequently dress for your
industry and for your position (or one above yours) when attending
meetings, conferences or other professional events. The comfortable
clothes are for home only.
Try to get one or more fashion accessories. It could be a coat,
handbag. etc. These are the more cost-effective ways to keep up with
fashion. Why to keep up with fashion? Because if you don’t, you may
look “old,” not only age-wise, but you may also be perceived as
professionally outdated. It is cruel, but perception is important.
Since quality is key, here are the most important items for your
wardrobe:
1- A black pant of the highest quality possible. It should fit you
perfectly
2- Nice, elegant, high quality jacket
3- A good handbag
4- Good quality shoes in almost perfect condition
5- A high-quality coat
6- Little, black cocktail dress
7- A few tops, according to the weather and season
8- Pencil skirt, if you like skirts
9- One three-piece suit (pants, jacket and skirt or dress)
Those are your basic pieces. The accessories will bring it to life.
It is important to keep your wardrobe in optimal condition ready to
use any time. You may add anything you want to those pieces, but if
you have at least these items, you can look sharp and professional
any time.
Separate pieces are better than suits because you have more
flexibility to mix and match.
