    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    2. A stylish and breathable off-shoulder jumpsuit you can wear while chilling at home, but easily throw a classic blazer on top when you've got an important Zoom meeting. With the jogger-style bottom, you're sure to be comfortable (and cute!) all day long.

    3. A three-piece knit number complete with shorts, a tank, and a cardigan that will work perfectly for those "chillin' at home" Insta-pics and keep you cute and comfortable you're working your 9-to-5.

    4. A long floral chiffon cardigan perfect for when your WFH view becomes WFB (work from the beach!). It would be cutest swim cover-up, but looks awesome with jeans or lounge shorts, too.

    5. tiered maxi dress with an adjustable tie shoulder to ensure it fits just right for *you*. And on top of that, those stylish bows will be hard to miss!

    7. A glamorous open collar top and matching shorts that are definitely summer brunch worthy (meaning cute enough sit in at home, too). The button-down blouse is soft and features a v-neck collar while the matching shorts are free flowing and comfy as heck. I need one set in every color!

    8. A versatile oversized sweater vest with the option to wear it solo in the summer, over a turtleneck in the fall, and on top of a button-down during work calls. And when there's a fashion item that makes leaps between seasons (and occasions), that means you'll need it in every color.

    13. A ruffled-sleeve tee that makes a plain cotton T-shirt look high fashion. The solid color options make it super easy to style, while the unique sleeves make you feel extra put together even if you don't plan on leaving the house.

    14. A tie-dye maxi dress made from a super soft and lightweight material. And yes, it's just as comfortable as it looks. It's even got pockets!

    15. A V-neck mesh blouse that'll look great with the yoga pants that no one can see on screen 😉. It has a very sophisticated look with the wide sleeves and mesh strip details, but reviewers say it's nice and roomy, too!

    16. A belted romper because it can be worn year-round. It's light enough for summer heat and looks just as good with a pair of cozy tights in the winter.

    Promising reviews: "This romper is so beautiful and classy! It is not see-through. It is lined. The buttons are functional (nursing friendly)." —Lauren Fuquay

    "I love this romper! It's so easy to slip on and look 'dressed up' with wedges or wear casually with flip-flops. It's made of really soft material that breathes so you don't die of sweat in the summer. I love the wrap-around tie belt so you can adjust how tight it is. It's plenty long in the crotch area as well so I'm not bunched up. Thinking this is the perfect outfit for Thanksgiving in Arizona. Buying in more colors. I sure do love when I find a brand/seller that works! Online shopping can always be a pain but not with this one!" —SmithHaus

    Get it from Amazon for $36.59 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors).

    17. A sleeveless cami long dress with pockets perfect for stashing your mouse and other office supplies when you decide you need a change of scenery (aka your balcony). You'll still feel snuggly and look put-together.

    18. A frill-hemmed button-down dress that takes a plain and simple staple piece like a button-down and turns it into a chic 'fit you'll want to wear outside of the office (or in your case, outside the house).

    19. A lightweight lace-trimmed tank to add some ~pizzazz~ to your WFH wardrobe without taking away the essential "comfy as can be" factor.

    Promising review: "I have washed and worn this top several times since purchasing. I usually dry it on low heat, and the fabric and lace has held up well. It is wrinkle free from the dryer. The fabric is not see-through and has a nice sheen. It is versatile: tuck it in, wear it loose, or wear it untucked with a belt. The lace lays nice and flat...The V-neck is [nice], but not too low cut. The top looks great with jeans, dressy pants, a skirt or shorts. It goes with everything and has quickly become one of my go-to pieces. It has a minimal classic style." —BT

    Get it from Amazon for $17.25+ (available in sizes XS–5X and in 22 colors).

    20. tie-front T-shirt dress with a twist — literally. The attached tie-front belt steps it up from a normal cotton shirt dress.

    Promising review: "[This dress is] like wearing pajamas out and about, yet looking very EFFORTLESSLY put together. I bought one in blush, grey, blue AND green. I love this dress. Accentuate your CURVES with this dress. I cannot stress it more. It has a modest neckline and shows JUST enough leg. You can tie the belt waist as tightly as you want to show off your waist. Tie it loose after a buffet. Tie it tight when you're feeling fabulous. It's fantastic. I really bought this in as many colors as I could." —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors).

    21. And a tie-front romper you can throw on for immediate chic-ness, which in hand turns into immediate motivation. After you have this on, you'll be ready to conquer the work day one coffee at a time.

    22. A flowy off-the-shoulder cotton dress that'll have you feeling like you're floating from room to room (or from fridge to couch).

    23. A ribbed tank top with a built-in bra — It's cute as heck, provides great support, and anything that eliminates the need to wear a bra deserves a gold metal IMO.

    24. A sheer bell-sleeve top with adorable ruched detailing fit for a summer spent in a seaside cottage...or just in your house with your fur baby. Either way, you'll look great!

    25. Overalls to take your pajama top to a more professional level. It's got extra deep pockets, has a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!

    26. A pleated romper that's as comfortable as a onesie but as stylish a party dress. Seriously, I think you found your new go-to outfit for ALL occasions!

    27. A set of comfy casual T-shirts because basic tees are still *very* essential in any wardrobe. You can dress it up or down, which is an important characteristic in WFH clothing!

    28. A V-neck spaghetti strap cami reviewers say is supportive, comfortable, and wire-free! A true WFH wardrobe trifecta.

    29. Denim overalls that's perfect for layering. Wear a cute button down shirt underneath for a distinguished look, a t-shirt for something casual, or a cozy turtleneck for warmth!

    30. An eyelet flutter-sleeve top you can totally get away with wearing to your 9 a.m. meeting *and* rocking on a quick lunch date.

    31. A vibrant knit tank top that's casual and yet very very chic at the same time. If I were you, I'd get it in every color so you have one for every occasion. And at this price, at least three will be WFH-designated.

    32. A graphic tee great for when you want to throw on a casual outfit, but don't necessarily want a plain, solid-color shirt.

    Promising review: "This is my new favorite T-shirt. First time wearing it out, I received so many compliments. When ordering, I really didn’t know what to expect from the sizing, but after reading the reviews I decided to choose an extra large due to everyone saying it was kind of crop-toppy, which is very true." —Sarah DaVitte

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 styles).

    33. A pair of satin pants you'll no doubt want to live in. These luxurious pants will get you through those long work days and beautifully lead you into happy hour with your besties.

    34. Some sweater pants because they're the literal opposite of skinny jeans. They feel like pajamas, but you can totally wear them public. Style it with an oversized tee or a cute crop for the perfect outfit!

    Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–L and in five colors).

    35. A boho-style maxi skirt featuring pockets(!!) and a comfortable drawstring waist. It'll pair perfectly with a whimsical blouse or plain white tee. All you need is a killer pair of strappy sandals to radiate the perfect summer vibes!
