If COVID-19 didn’t kill high fashion, it at least put it on life support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Driven as much by stress as by the large-scale shift to distributed work over the course of the pandemic’s first year, people all over the world opted to ditch traditional office attire for more comfortable garb. As noted by <\/span>The BBC, <\/span><\/i>this wasn’t a particularly unprecedented shift\u2014<\/span>the world has been moving away from formal attire for some years now<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year was simply the inflection point, with fashion companies experiencing a <\/span>90% drop in profits<\/span><\/a> in the United States, according to <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Business of Fashion.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Even once we start returning to the office, it is unlikely we’ll see a return to old dress codes. More notably, remote work will remain a regular thing. With that in mind, we’d recommend adding custom sweats to your work from home wardrobe\u2014because there’s a multitude of very good reasons to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comfort<\/span><\/h2>\n

Traditional business attire isn’t exactly known for being comfortable. That in and of itself is going to make transitioning back to office formalwear an unenviable prospect. In a recent discussion thread on the <\/span>Ask a Manager <\/span><\/i>blog, community members wondered why making the transition was even necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

|”It\u2019s clear now that we are just as productive in sweatpants as we are in suits,” <\/span>writes one user<\/span><\/a>. “If anything, I\u2019m probably MORE productive when I\u2019m comfortable.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Warmth<\/span><\/h2>\n

We’ve all had to deal with a cold office before. A space that, no matter what we do, seems impossible to warm up. Given how it’s next to impossible to stay productive if you’re freezing, your best course of action is to bundle up.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is precisely where sweats come in. Hoodies and sweatpants aren’t just comfortable. They’re also warm\u2014making them the perfect option for working in a chilly office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Convenience\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ask yourself which of these morning routines sounds more appealing to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
