Fashion.at tips for the Spring 2020 Home Office Style

The Viennese have already changed the daily routine into self-isolation mode for practising the greatest possible care for themselves and others, especially vulnerable groups like older people. Currently, the time perspective of the self-quarantine respectively when social contacts are allowed again spans from weeks to months.

Already yesterday on Monday, many media related workplaces of the Austrian fashion and beauty industry have moved to home offices. At the same time, editorial publications have started to release tips for planning the work flow at home. The recommendations depend on the orientation of the publication such as computer or technology related magazines focus on topics like the security of the home equipment or software for the elaboration of team to-do-list or for co-working applications. General media introduced into work planning such as that the work phases should be separated by short breaks like physical exercises or simply by a power nap.

One clothing item which is mentioned at several articles is the pyjama. Sleep wear for the home office is a no-go and described as counter-productive clothing as it signals the wearer the wrong situation. Working from home requests more self-discipline than working in a group where the dynamic of the team activates and increases the own performance. The work place at home should be similar to the one at the office! Even the work times should resemble the common daily routine.

For the own mental health, it's recommended to take care even of the own look. Don't fall into the trap of the current isolation and become a messy. Chic leisure wear, natural makeup, a light eau de parfum and eye-catching interior objects like flowers as well as mood boosting nutrition for feeling good at the home office is in Spring 2020 the best style.
