For work calls: Wear tops that are appropriate for the office

A pajama top or an old school t-shirt might not exactly be what bosses want to see when speaking with their teams during a video conference. While it's acceptable to wear boxers or lounge pants during a meeting, the top should always look professional. Wearing structured shirts, blouses, or blazers can upgrade the work-from-home look. For those with a casual dress code, adding a cardigan or a blazer will make anyone feel more in the mood to tackle matters at work. Fashion enthusiasts like Remi Landau believe that during these challenging times, dressing well can help people feel confident and empowered.

For online meetups with friends and family: Showcase personal style

Remi Landau shares that during this time, those who stay indoors can still express themselves through their fashion. Getting out of one's sleepwear can help a person navigate the day better and feel less affected by cabin fever. For those who want to feel happier, wearing bright colored tops and accessories can boost one's mood. On the other hand, those who love their neutrals can still enjoy their go-to pieces and accessorize so that they can show up nice and polished when they show up on-screen. Looking good online will surely bring a smile even to the person on the other end.
