The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Post-Pandemic Fashion

If you’re like me, then your sense of style has probably taken somewhat of a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been nothing but loungewear for over a year. I’m talking sweatpants, sweaters, and baggy T-shirts galore. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We basically entered an alternate universe during COVID-19 where the rules of fashion, along with everything else, changed. People barely left their homes unless it was necessary. It was practically criminal to be caught in anything but comfy clothes. But now that COVID cases are declining and regulations are slowly being lifted, we’re transitioning back into normal, pre-pandemic life. That means making some adjustments to your style. Since this is a transitional period, ditching the loungewear altogether would be unreasonable. There are ways to meld loungewear into suitable everyday attire simply through the way you style your outfits. Accessories and pairings of certain articles of clothes can take your outfits to the next level. 

Here are some style ideas to prepare you for your trek back into the real world:

1. Sneakers are classic but consider pairing boots, heels, or even sandals with your loungewear. 

   

   

   

2. The design of your loungewear will add dimension to your outfit. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color.

   

   

   

3. Jewelry is perhaps the most important accessory of all and will always elevate your outfits, but be careful not to overdo it.

   

   

   

4. Sunglasses will always make you look ready to go.

Loungewear can be cute, comfortable, and functional all at the same time! I, for one, am not ready to ditch my joggers for jeans just yet, so these tips and tricks seem totally doable for the minimal level of effort I’m willing to put in.
