If you've been spending the last few months at home in your favorite old T-shirts and stretchy sweatpants, you might be growing a little tired of rotating through the same pieces in your closet. After all, there are only so many ways that you can style stretchy bottoms and loose T-shirts.
So, as the months get cooler and many of us still find ourselves working from home, it might be time to upgrade to pieces that are just as comfortable as our beloved jersey knit sweats but slightly more stylish.
Whether you'll be sitting in on video calls or simply want to feel a little more put together ahead of the workday at home, you'll want to look as good as you feel — but that doesn't mean you need to throw on the slacks and heels that have been collecting dust in your closet.
Alyssa Amoroso joined 3rd Hour TODAY to share some tips and tricks on putting together the perfect "workleisure" outfits that are just cozy as they are camera-ready. Amoroso even has a few ideas for date nights, so you can get dressed up and decked out without sacrificing comfort.
