COVID-19 has sure thrown a wrench in things. Hasn’t it?! The list of complications feels endless, but like anything in life, beautiful things can come out of ugly situations.

One of the more positive things that I feel has come from the pandemic is the acceptance of remote work culture. I have worked from home for most of my career. Though I love witty office banter and shenanigans, I equally love the ease of working from home. It truly is a privilege to be able to earn a living from the comfort of my couch.

Over the years, I have learned that dressing for success still matters even when you are sitting at the kitchen table for your big pitch call or your annual review. Getting dressed for the day establishes your mindset. It’s unlikely that you will wear a suit to your meeting, but wearing a nice top is still a given. Garnet Hill has a ton of options for professional attire that provides office style with comfort, so that you can still experience the ease of WFH life.

Garnet Hill is known for their high quality textiles, especially linen. I’m a huge fan of linen because I live in the hot desert climate of Phoenix, Arizona. Many people complain about the wrinkles, but a lived-in look is completely acceptable with this fabric.

This season of life is learning how to embrace change and roll with the punches. If there was ever an easy-going fabric that embodies this mindset - it’s linen. It’s washable and long-lasting. It’s breathable and beautiful.

These tops go perfectly with jeans. I prefer to french tuck them into high waisted denim. I could also style them with slacks or tie them in a knot with a bathing suit as well.

I particularly am in love with these blue wide-leg linen pants. They remind you of jeans, but they are far more comfortable. Long days of sitting at a desk are much easier to manage with these pants.

All in all, if you are in need of adding some classic wardrobe staples to your closet that provide professionalism with a big dose of comfort, look no further than than Garnet Hill. Just remember, shoes are always optional.
