If you’ve been working from home, you’ve likely adopted a new wardrobe. What used to be loafers and slacks has probably turned into slippers and joggers as you try to keep comfortable while checking off your to-do list from the couch.
Now that stores and restaurants are starting to reopen, it’s a great time to upgrade your style to include some trendy pieces that are perfect for fall.
Style expert Sydney Sadick joined Hoda and Jenna to share a few simple tips for upgrading those quarantine trends you don’t want to leave behind. She found ways to polish up a pair of joggers and ways to turn a Zoom top into one you can wear for socially distant get-togethers.
See how you can make the transition with these trendy clothing essentials, shoes and accessories.
