Work From Home is a new vertical dedicated to life and culture in the strange and unprecedented situation of self-quarantine that many of us are dealing with right now. From what to watch to how to get a fit off and how to not think about anything, this is our guide to the great indoors. For updates on the spread of Covid-19 and how to keep yourself safe and informed, consult WHO and the CDC.
As millions of people around the globe go into lockdown, we must spare some thought for how we are going to turn our daily routines digital. Not only this, but we must look for ways to stay motivated as we prepare to spend the next few months milling around the same four walls.
Aside from benefiting humanity at large, a hiatus from your long-list of social obligations brings with it fewer real-time opportunities for you to show off your new jawnz, and stunt on all your undeserving friends — undeserving of the fits you so carefully prepare for their viewing pleasure on a daily basis. Now however, stripped of your street side runway, you have to get creative and dress-to-impress from within the confines of your phone’s camera. What’s more, getting up and dressed is a great way to stay motivated, and an even better way to prove to your friends that you are really about that life.
Curator Noah Thomas believes the three pillars of any strong FaceTime Fit are its accessories, headwear, and printed tops. However, to avoid looking like you’re overdoing it, Noah advises picking a single category to hone in on. With that being said, we’ll let Noah take it away.

“Prints are a go-to when all you have to show are your shoulders. This shirt also flaunts a camp collar, which means you have a lot of real estate on which to rock a necklace. Knowing how to make the most of the space you have is a strong tool when you have so little of it.”
