Hey Reader,
What do you wear when you work from home?
(Seriously — not just “whatever’s clean”, but like, what’s your go-to?)
Last year, we ran a members-only masterclass with Emelia Morris, a Geelong-based personal stylist who’s as down-to-earth as she is stylish.
I wanted to run this one because…well, I love fashion.
I grew up on a steady diet of 90s and 00s magazines (iconic, chaotic, mildly toxic), and now my Instagram is full of outfits I’ll probably never wear and Pinterest boards labelled “elevated casual but make it comfy”.
But there was a deeper reason, too.
Working from home (like so many of us do, probably including you, Reader) can absolutely kill your sense of style.
You fall into the leggings + hoodie vortex.
You convince yourself it’s fine because, technically, it is.
And yeah…it is fine.
But also?
How we dress affects how we feel.
How we show up.
And how others see us.
Emelia’s session backed this up with actual research. Not just about how people perceive you, but how your brain responds when you dress with intention. It’s stuck with me ever since.
I’ve been experimenting with that middle ground lately. My current WFH “uniform”?
Wide leg pants (elasticated, obviously), decent tees and a rotation of button-ups.
No blazers. No shoes. But also, no daggy trackies.
Getting dressed makes me feel like I’m going to work, even if it’s just down the hallway.
And getting changed at the end of the day? It’s become my cue that work is done.
No hard rules. No pressure to overhaul your wardrobe. But it’s worth asking:
Are you dressing in a way that supports how you want to feel and be seen in your business?
Hit reply and tell me what’s working for you, whether it’s activewear with intention or a full-on aesthetic. No judgement.

P.S. Emelia’s masterclass (and a bunch of others) are still in our members-only library. If you want in on the good stuff, you know where to go.
