We know by now that working from home has its pros and cons.
Pro: no commute. Con: time gained spent on a surplus of washing up.
But another WFH pro is the chance to get acquainted with something outside your usual workwear wardrobe rotation. Sweat pants aside, of course.
Take the short suit. If you’re among the slew of women in the city who still considers office-safe shorts to be a myth, now is the time to be convinced.
Not just because a tailored blazer looks sharp on Zoom, but because I’m yet to meet a WFH-er with the luxury of air con. Plus, a short suit is a great companion for a lunch break stroll — as well as, of course, your eventual office return, however imminent that may be.
The best ones around are crafted from linen and dipped in sherbet shades. As for short length, Bermuda is best — partly for practicality, partly because it sounds semi-tropical.
