Elegant Even WFH! Styling 'One-Mile Wear' Optimized for Video Meetings
Share
Hello, this is Femora Women, designing your Work-Life Balance.
As working from home becomes the norm, more working women refuse to compromise on either comfort at home or 'on-screen professionalism'. We reveal Femora’s smart styling tips for utilizing 'One-Mile Wear' to maintain elegance and a professional impression even in a remote work setting.
Â
1. Upper Body Strategy: The Power of Fabric in an 'Elegant Knit Look'
Â
In a video conference, only your upper body and the area around your face are visible. Invest in the most noticeable factors: 'fabric texture' and 'neckline'.
-
✨ The Cheat Key Fabric: Cashmere Blend Knit: Instead of a t-shirt, choose a soft cashmere blend knit or a loose-fit top made from a wool blend. The luxurious texture of the material itself transmits well on screen, giving a polished and composed impression without the need for excessive embellishments.
-
The Importance of the Neckline: Necklines that subtly reveal the collarbone and neck, such as a boat neck or V-neck, make the face appear slimmer and more elegant. Conversely, avoid hooded tops or excessively loose round necks.
Â
2. Zoom-in Effect: Focus Attention with 'Face-Framing Accessories'
Â
Within the limited screen view, the key to maximizing your elegance is accessories around your face. Aim for maximum impact with minimum effort.
-
Earrings & Necklace: Wear simple, reflective gold/silver drop earrings or a thin, layered necklace. The subtle shine catches the light as you move, drawing attention to your face and adding a polished finish to your overall look.
-
Hairstyle: While you don't need a perfect setup, a contained hairstyle like a low ponytail or a neatly tucked bob conveys reliability. Adding an elegant hair clip or a silk scarf can provide that 'put-together but not trying too hard' sophisticated feel.
Â
3. The Bottom Twist: Balancing 'Comfort' and 'Style'
Â
Maintain perfect comfort off-screen. Bottoms must prioritize movement and comfort fit.
-
Optimal Bottoms: If you’ve dressed up the top with a knit, pair it with wide-leg slacks with an elastic waistband or an elegant pleated skirt. (Avoid wearing truly lounge-style sweatpants during work hours.)
-
Ready for Unexpected Outs: Choose comfortable bottoms in tone-on-tone colors or clean fabrics. This ensures that even in an unexpected situation—like receiving a delivery or needing a quick meeting outside—simply grabbing a blazer completes your perfect 'One-Mile Look' transition.
