While working from home (or WFH) may no longer require a business casual dress code, there’s still some value in getting dressed and feeling fresh. We’re all for a pair of pyjamas for sick days but as we face the reality of many more WFH days, might we suggest opting for fashionable loungewear that still incorporates elastic waistbands and look stylish? Drawstrings and hoodies don’t have to go anywhere when luxe fabrics like cashmere and silk are part of the equation. Cozy separates or co-ordinated pieces help us find comfort in being at home and special details like ruffles or tailoring take relaxed fashion up a notch. Try thinking of casual wear as an outfit rather than picking up the first thing on top of the pile or whatever you’ll wear for your at-home workout later.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Just Released a Statement Addressing COVID-19
As the novel coronavirus continues to spread around the globe, there’s some comfort in knowing that we’re all in this together—whether we’re actors, athletes, politicians or regular citizens. In honour of that spirit of global community, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released an official statement on their @SussexRoyal Instagram account addressing this public health crisis.
“These are uncertain times. And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary,” wrote the royal couple, adding that “this moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.”
“Millennials Are Not Immune”: Kylie Jenner Urges Followers to Take Coronavirus Seriously
It’s no secret that Kylie Jenner has serious influence – so much so that the 22-year old has been called upon by the Surgeon General to encourage her followers to be safe during the COVID-19 crisis.
During a spot on Good Morning America, Surgeon General Jerome Adams said, “We need to get Kylie Jenner and social media influencers out there, in helping folks understand that, look, this is serious, this is absolutely serious. People are dying.” And Jenner listened.
Sharing a video on her Instagram Stories, Jenner told her 166.6 million followers: “I listened to the Surgeon General this morning, and even though I’ve already been doing my daily reminders [to self quarantine and practice social distancing], he definitely encouraged me to come on here and talk to you guys. Coronavirus is a real thing. Please stay inside, practice social distancing, self quarantine. If you live with your parents, you don’t want to go home and get your parents sick. You might have it and not even know and be affecting other people. It’s serious and the only way to slow this down is if we do this, because there’s not a cure right now.”
She then added, “Nobody is immune to this, millennials are not immune to this,” before referencing new research in the US that shows that a large percentage of COVID-19 positive patients in the States are young adults.
Earlier this week, Jenner took to the Kylie Cosmetics Instagram page to share a message saying that she was going to use her “personal and brand channels over the coming weeks to share news, updates and recommendations from public health officials so that we can all stay informed and safe.”
