Working from home is the new norm for us, in particular, for a while. So we wanted to share some of our favorite pieces to be comfortable and chic when working remotely and social distancing.

Since we both conduct business out of our home offices on the regular, we have firsthand experience in crafting WFH looks. We know there may be the temptation to stay in your old pajamas all day long (we get that), however, we think making the transition from the PJs you slept in the night before to something else can inspire you to stay motivated and create a positive structure for the day ahead.

So with that, we're here to showcase our top comfy picks that work for us, but could definitely work for anyone at any age. Bonus, most of these items can also be mixed and matched to create that perfect combo of cozy and chic. (Also note that some of the photos below were taken before we started social distancing but are used here for outfit inspiration.)
