ockdown has undoubtedly redefined workwear. As boardroom meetings moved into our bedrooms (or wherever we could find the best light), with our laptops precariously positioned on a pile of magazines, our outfits have been scrupulously styled from the waist up.
We renounced ill-fitting polyester trouser suits in favour of elaborate shirts for some satortial gusto which made us look positively put-together on Zoom, what lay beneath hasn’t been given the same TLC. Similarly to shops, gyms, and hairdressers, we deemed the fashion choices of our bottom half non-essential.
But with the world now slowly reopening, a tea-stained pair of grey joggers will not suffice for al fresco meetings and power walks with potential VCs. After a year of loungewear, the very notion of a structured trouser or jeans is reminiscent of modern-day corsetry and the plethora of tie-waist or pull-on trousers proves that comfort is thankfully still key.
We curated our favourite edit of elasticated waist trousers which are smart enough to be worn as business attire but can still fool you into thinking that you're wearing pyjamas.
