Slay in Your At-Home Business Attire with These Chic Pambahay Ideas

One of the perks of working from home is not having to dress in business attire. However, this does have its drawbacks! Dressing up allows us to express ourselves through fashion and creates a mental delineation between home and work.

When we put on those big boss pants, it’s like something inside us clicks. Suddenly we’re ready to take on the world. If working in your jammies doesn’t fire you up, here are some stylist-approved tips on pambahay-chic dressing and how to achieve it! Stylist and former fashion editor Anne Bella shares how you can easily elevate your WFH outfits. 

A sharp jacket is an easy way to dress up your business attire in a jiffy! Forgot about that video call that’s happening in five minutes? No sweat. You can keep your pambahay clothes and simply throw on a blazer or a cute cardigan, and you’re ready to go. No need to button it up — casual looks more natural in the WFH scene anyway. 

For maximum impact with minimal effort, Anne recommends dressing up a simple tank top with a chunky necklace or oversized earrings. “Wear it around the house to feel more dressed up! It works well with t-shirts and shorts,” she says. Fashion-wise, stick to a neutral palette that doesn’t clash with your statement accessories.

Anne recommends investing in interesting and colorful pieces to spice up your basics. In this case, it’s a fashion bib or a giant collar. It's easy to use: wear it around your neck over a plain white tank top or shirt. The iconic Ruth Bader Ginsburg liked them bejeweled and embellished. It was likewise a popular accessory on the spring 2020 runways the Loewe, Erdem, and Gucci, to name a few.

Unless you want to put on a complete look, there’s no need to ditch your comfy pambahay shorts, Anne says. After all, no one sees them on camera (just don’t stand up!). This will keep you comfortable throughout the day so that you can focus on work instead of your waistband. It also helps you stay mobile at home if you need to do some chores — like cleaning up after your dog — in between conference calls. Aside from shorts, leggings and drawstring pants are also good options.

With all the different activities taking place, it’s almost impossible not to sweat at home. Wearing a sleeveless top is one way to stay presko while juggling work, chores, and play.
