Much like our kitchen habits – which have moved through the banana bread, homemade burgers, sourdough loaf, easter cakes and dalgona coffee stages – our isolation wardrobes have seen several different incarnations over these past six weeks.
We began with a few days in full WFH-novelty mode, luxuriating in the lack of excuses to *ever* change out of pyjamas.
Then we panicked that we may never, actually, wear clothes again, so spent a week or two assuring ourselves that a good pair of jeans, fun top and our favourite shoes would work wonders for our mental state. Hey, some of us even put heels on for a kitchen-table-date-night.
We soon admitted to ourselves that denim has nowhere near enough breathability to accommodate the thousands of extra calories we’ve been inhaling in order to perk up a dull day, and resorted to tracksuits. Not quite pyjamas but certainly comfier than regular clothes, they’ve so far lasted far longer as a go-to option in the morning than their predecessors.
We are, however, considering another small update.
Nothing as drastic as our previous transformations, fear not, but one that’ll perhaps offer a small smidge of aesthetic variation on those endless full-team Zoom calls. I’d say it was possibly the moment we realised six of us were wearing a hoodie in the same shade of grey that encouraged this movement, but we can’t be sure.
So what’s the next step, I hear you cry?
Cute tops.

Now don’t panic. You don’t need to change *any* other part of your look. Keep the joggers. Keep the slippers. Even keep the lack-of-bra, should you wish. But we encourage you to zhush up your upper half, whether that be via a puffed-sleeve, a floral pattern or a supersized collar, it’ll make you feel like a new woman.
