5 fashion items to dress up your stay-at-home look


Staying in does not mean you should dress like you don't care anymore. Clothes and accessories can act as mood boosters at home.

Not going out may be the new normal, but don’t let it dampen your spirits. A small way of bringing the outdoors indoors is to dress up like you would normally do – in a more scaled-down way, of course. Here’s a roundup of the fashion items from independent brands that will help.

Comfort yourself

Loungewear by Love, Bonito allows you to create mindful moments of self-care and reflection. Slip into a super-soft, breathable yet stylish kimono featuring delicate prints to take your mind off your worries.

Banish the bed hair

Can’t be bothered to do up your hair just for a video conference call? Tie or wrap it with a scarf. Pomelo has a lightweight design that comes decorated with an eye-catching floral motif.

Treat your tresses

Spotted on the runways all over the world, barrettes are back in fashion. Since everyone will be growing out their hair, maybe it is time to embrace the accessory while at home too. Luccacal’s are just too pretty to give a miss.

Be all ears

You may get away with wearing shorts while calling your boss on Whatsapp video or Zoom, but try making things a little more presentable from the neck up. Take your pick of the standout earrings The Straits Finery has to offer.

Happy feet, happy life

We don’t wear shoes at home, so why not dress up your feet with colourful socks instead? Good Pair Socks offers a wide range of cute designs. They will definitely brighten up your day while indoors.
