Think about a snake consuming its lunch: You understand how one can kind of see the form of its meals in its snake-y midsection? That’s me. I is probably not downing small mammals, however I’ve been combating with my pants after workday lunches so long as I’ve been working. That is simply one of many causes I moved instantly to sweatpants now that working means working from dwelling. This entire chest-up-Zoom-call factor isn’t the worst factor on the planet when it comes to my private presentation.
My coworkers do not know — a minimum of, they didn’t earlier than this piece — that I’m carrying sweatpants on the underside half, with a shirt, headband, and lip stain on high. No clue that possibly, simply possibly, I’m solely carrying underwear, layered sweaters, and a strand of beads round my neck. It is a bizarre time, and the above confession doesn’t make it any much less bizarre, however I’ve gotten fairly good at dressing from the waist up for my a number of each day video calls.

With out altering my bottoms (or lack thereof), I’m now in a position to change my “total outfit” (learn: the half that’s seen to my colleagues) a number of occasions a day. The solar will get scorching in my new workplace (learn: studio condominium) round 3, in order that’s after I swap my sweaters for a lace cami and lightweight jacket or blazer, with a thick headband and enjoyable earrings. Typically, for my bigger conferences, I even throw on a crimson lip. And headscarves? Now, they’re each fetching and handy: no wind to blow that child off. No sharp clips wanted to maintain it in place. And the removable collar pattern? It’s fairly excellent proper now. Pair it with a cardigan! It received’t flap up as you’re operating across the metropolis between appointments, blinding you in its outsized, upturned glory.
These are my seven favourite waist-up concoctions. No pants essential—and fairly frankly, I counsel you don’t put on any.
1. Massive Collar + Sweater + Hair Clips

I’ve had this removable collar for years however by no means put on it as a result of it strikes round after I stroll if there’s even the tiniest little bit of wind. Now’s the time to tug it out, pair it with a sweater à la Harling’s story, and add a hair adornment or two.
2. Thematic Print (bandana) + Necklaces

Per Man Repeller’s Hotline, it’s enjoyable to begin with a immediate when getting dressed. Right here I went thematic, with a classic bandana sweater, bandana head scarf, and a few lip-stain. My underwear can be a bandana-print, belief me.

Who says you’ll be able to’t put on your sleepwear to the workplace/the sofa? I’m within the nightgown I wore to mattress, all jazzed up with a few of my favourite necklaces, plus lipstick. Carrying lipstick at dwelling is definitely far simpler than carrying it at work as a result of re-application doesn’t must be completed at your desk utilizing Photobooth!
4. Outsized Shirt + Glasses

I don’t counsel you wreck your sun shades by coming out the lenses, however carrying frames on a video name hides the luggage beneath your eyes and your lack of make-up. If you wish to make investments, blue mild lenses actually save your eyes after lengthy days on the pc. The shirt? Wore it to mattress, too.
5. Cami + Jacket + Neck Scarf + Eyeshadow

A little bit little bit of pizazz for our digital Man Repeller crew blissful hour.
6. Vest + Pearls + Bandana

Due to the steamy condominium, sleeveless items have been important. I like a vest–it’s a little bit dressier than a plain previous tank. I added woman pearls and a bandana to cowl up the bedhead that I guarantee you is tucked beneath.
7. Headband + Earrings + Turtleneck + Sweater

A thick headband with earrings could be very Brigitte Bardot. With a little bit hair tease, a thick headband, huge earrings, and layers, I’m buttoned up {and professional}, minus the wrong-day-of-the-week underwear I’m carrying. Who even is aware of what day it’s, anyway.
