Nice work from home clothes to see me through Autumn and Winter?

Nice work from home clothes to see me through Autumn and Winter - that are comfortable but not slobby? That I can wear on the school run?
TIA?

I swear by a good coat, quite long and roomy, to stick on over my usual home uniform of leggings or joggers and a terrible old jumper.
Trench coat in autumn/mild winter weather and a wool one for cold days.
Covers a multitude of sins!

I lived in uniqlo heat tech tracksuit bottoms, sheepskin slippers, heat tech long sleeved top and merino jumper or cashmere on top last year. So comfy and warm but not too elegant on the bottom half.

Tesco (f&f) have some lovely co- ord sets in at the minute. Like sweatshirts & wide leg trousers. Comfortable but stylish.

See, I can’t help thinking that co-ords, however smart, look like pyjamas.

I usually wear jeans and a jumper, I don’t dress any differently for working from home than if I’m just having a day in the house. I do tend to get cold though so love a cashmere roll neck and a pair of warm socks!

Same here. The only difference is that the jumper is a bit more stylish as we are suppose to be on camera compared to when I am off work and may wear an older one because I bake/cook/do gardening/clean.

It also means I can just grab any top instead of keeping a wfh vs a work-in-office pile.

Just coming back to the thread to say that my Uniqlo knitted trousers have arrived and they are great, I immediately ordered another pair in a different colour!

Could you explain the uniqlo sizes for the tracksuit bottoms please? I wear a 16 usually - do you know what size that would be?

@Henleylady do you have a link to the leggings please?

M&S do some really cosy fleece lined leggings. I wear them all the time in Autumn and Winter with t shirts and oversized jumpers. Very warm and comfortable but easy to stick a pair of trainers or boots on and head out the door.

Where can I find some nice oversized jumpers? I like leggings but feel naked in them unless there's something to cover my arse. I've been struggling to find jumpers that meet that criteria and don't break the bank.

I'm a 12-14 for trousers and large works for me, but if I get another pair, I might go XL. Maybe go XL for a 16? I'm more towards a 12 on the top half and medium works well for me. x
