So you thought you could serve this quarantine time in some sweats and PJs? Well, that would’ve been possible for a week. But now that we’re looking at weeks ahead of homestays, you gotta step up our WFH (work from home) game! That’s why we decided to give you some home-worthy sneaker styles so you could get out of that dull work mood.
Why You Should Wear Your Kicks
Work from home is mentally straining on good days, so how about the quarantine? You should have some outfit changes to keep yourself sane and not go coo-coo! And let’s face it, none of us would mind some productivity boost at this time. Plus, walking barefoot the whole time is no good for you! Walking barefoot on hard surfaces can hurt your feet, which in turn will hurt your knees and back.
And finally, you don’t want your money going to waste when you JUST copped those Cinders or Pine Greens. You should put some use into these kicks you copped and flex on social media! Everyone is on Social Media now, and flexing the right pair will get you the ton of followers and likes you always wanted. While you make money from your job.
Work from home doesn’t look too bad now, right?
What Are the Kicks and How to Rock Them During Quarantine!
Yeezy Boost 350s
I mean, could it be more obvious? With the Boost tech comfort and the Primeknit fabric. It’s easily our favorite. Even better, you don’t even have to lace them! You can just go for an unlaced look and that makes it even simpler to put in and take off. Its sleek design also makes it eye-pleasing. Finally, it’s a perfect choice if you wanna do some home workout too! While you’re on a break!
Personal choice: Yeezy 350 V2 Black – Yeezy 350 V2 Cloud white – Yeezy 350 V2 Desert Sage
How to Style: You can follow one of Kanye West’s comfy outfits when you wear your Yeezys. We all know he’s down for all of that PJ-looking style! So we’d personally go for sweatpants and an oversized hoodie to complete the look. As for colors, it depends on the 350s you’re wearing! With black or colorful kicks we’d go for something earthy. However, if you decided to put on some earth-toned Yeezy 350s, you better choose something a bit more colorful for clothing! You know, to keep you cheerful.
Adidas Stan Smith / Superstar
Do we even have to explain why these are here? We all own at least one pair of these in our wardrobe because classics never go out of style! And with work from home, could you really wish for anything better fitting than these sneakers? They look good any way you style them, and they never seem to go out of stock! Here you can find the Stan Smiths and the Superstars. Order a pair now if you don’t have one!
How to Style: You can always get creative with a pair of white sneakers. Anything goes great with them. You can dress them up for a video conference with a shirt and tie and all. Or dress them down for a chill business as usual kind of a day. Our favorite look with them though? It’s a button-up T-shirt over some ripped jeans!
Nike Air Max
Another classic (depending on which version you go for) made it to our list! It also made it to the list due to the air unit that provides comfort to the wearer, and that’s what you want when you work from home! They also look very good honestly and come in a huge variety of colors.
Personal favorites: Air Max 90 and Air Max 270
How to Style: These are the most flexible kicks, you can wear them however you want! But, you should go for comfy and cool looking in quarantine. That’s why our look of choice is a tee (maybe something graphic) with rolled up regular fit jeans.
What Not to Wear for Work From Home!
If I were you, I’d steer away from highs in every shape! It doesn’t matter how comfy it is wearing them outside, indoors is a whole different deal. So we don’t advise wearing the following:
- Air Jordan 1s High
- Air Force 1s High
- Yeezy 750s
- Yeezy 500 High
- Fear of God X Nike Air 1
The highs look good, and we love them on regular days and days out. We and our users cop them in mass whenever they drop!! But in quarantine and during “work from home” era? Not so much. They are high maintenance, you have to lace ‘em up and they’re far more precious to get them creased! So, as much as we wanna wear the new Court Purple AJ1s, they’re too restricting; you need to look good and feel good!
Slides. Slides. More Slides!
Slides are your friends. Whether you decide to wear socks with them or not is a matter of great controversy. But man, you do you! In fact, some celebrities pulled off the slides look spectacularly. Some of them are Gigi Hadid, Sophie Turner, and David Beckham.
Slides are just the thing you need on days when you just can’t bother with shoes but at the same time don’t want to go barefoot! The best thing ever? You can take them off without the least effort and sit cross-legged. It’s my guilty pleasure while I work from home. Adilettes and Nike slides should be your go-to! Yeezy slides are ok too. If you can afford them.
How to Style: Go for the post-game athletic look! Oversized shorts and a simple T-shirt are the closest to PJs you can get without actually wearing PJs!
All Set to Face Quarantine!
Not that you have all the basics, you should definitely look up what you’re missing and get it. Who said work from home during quarantine can’t be fun and productive? We’re here to make it exactly that!
