Feel cozy and productive in these WFH looks
Feel cozy and productive in these WFH looks
As working from home becomes the new norm for a while, we find that one of the best ways to remain productive is to get dressed in the morning to propel your brain into work-mode for the day.
We’ve scouted some independent labels with cozy, thoughtful pieces for working directly from your living room couch.
Each of these brands make wonderful, timeless staples and offer similar silhouettes in different colorways. If you’re into building a capsule wardrobe, or simply looking for some cozy lifelong items to add to your closet, look no further.
Kowtow | Singlet | Chambray
Founded in 2006 by Gosia Piatek, Kowtow is a label committed to creating positive change. They make a conscious decision to only use renewable and sustainable fibres and ethical manufacturing. From their website, “The limitations of our ethos keeps us innovative. We don’t compromise on design, and embrace restrictions. This gives our garments a strong minimal identity, and we believe the simplicity of our clothing is the first step toward circularity.”
Summersalt | Cashmere Set
There’s no middleman at Summersalt, which means you get designer quality at the best price available. The brand took over 1.5 million body measurements from 10,000 women to inform the Summersalt fit. They use recycled materials to create fabrics and product packaging. Their pieces are crafted to keep you comfortable and chic while on the go.
Lou & Grey | Gingham Linen Shorts | Gingham Top | Pants | Tee
The magic starts with Lou & Grey’s custom knits and fabrics — from their Signaturesoft pieces (think buttery soft and outrageously cozy) to their Upstate Sweats, Lou & Grey’s clothes are designed to give you all the feels. The brand recently launched Lou & Grey × HERproject (which empowers women in their global supply chain), they partner with Give Back Box and offer reusable tote bags. Their mission stands: doing good and being transparent about it.
LACAUSA | Jumpsuit | Dress
Founded in 2013, LACAUSA is redefining basics, blending romantic silhouettes with a contemporary bohemian twist. Influenced by boundless landscapes, the brand bring’s us effortless California chic without sacrificing the hand that feeds us. Fabrics are sourced and sewn with trusted partners with the highest standards in mind, and always under ethical conditions.
Base range | Bra Top | Undies | Bamboo Jersey Top | Ribbed Pants
Founded in 2012, Baserange is a line of modern basics with an emphasis on clean lines and easy silhouettes. The brand works closely with innovative vendors to develop high quality textiles from both natural fibers and recycled content. Baserange believes that a commitment to clean production will minimize environmental impact and benefit both the producer and the user.
Kotn | Sweatshirt | Sweatpants | Crew Tee
By working directly with cotton farming families in Egypt, KOTN wants to rebuild the industry from the inside. They make their own fabrics from raw cotton bought directly from farmers at guaranteed prices. Like farm-to-table, but for your clothes. Their cotton is then sent to a cut-and-sew factory outside Alexandria. The responsibly-run operation employs locals, securing their craft and their livelihood. By scrapping the middleman, KOTN has ensured a fair wage for their makers, and an honest price for us.
I hope that you were able to find a piece that fits in with your end-of-winter / early spring work-from-home wardrobe!
