HAPPY AT HOME: 4 COMFY LOOKS FOR A 2-MILE RADIUS FROM HOME
A series about creating, learning, and thriving today

Recalibrating the Radius

Working from home was once considered a perk: dreamt of by many, practiced by few. Until, virtually overnight, it became reality for millions of us. 

Which begs a question: when the commute is bedroom to home office, when lunch includes a walk around the neighborhood or to a local shop, what’s the dress code now? 

Karen, our Design Director for Apparel, recommends Two-Mile Style – four outfits that transition effortlessly from working at home to running errands nearby. 

A Walk in the Park

Around-town Casual

Exercise with Friends

Main Street Style

Tips from Karen

• Call it loungewear, yoga chic, activewear, smart casual…but comfortable really can be presentable. 
• Dress in layers to moderate warmth with the forecast. 
• Bring a good-size tote or crossbody bag to carry your treasures or groceries on the walk home.
• Walking comfort and contemporary style really can intersect in footwear. Brands like Kork-Ease and Gentle Souls are masters at this.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the average American takes 3,000 to 4,000 steps per day, or 1.5 to 2 miles depending upon stride. We can do this! (In fact, it’s a walk in the park.)
