HOME ALONE

#WorkFromHome might be the new normal, but this bunch of cool men and women are trading in their sweatpants for quarantine outfits that are anything but drab

MERRY LINBORO, MODEL

“I chose to wear a dress from NorBlack NorWhite. The kaleidoscopic colours make me happy instantly. Given the current situation, dressing up has proven to be an escape from reality. Obviously, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we need to maintain a positive outlook even in the smallest things we do daily. We have the easiest part to play – stay home and stay isolated while preserving our mental health.”

NEHA SINGH, DESIGNER

“Dressing up for yourself is the first principle of self-love. When you look good, you feel good. As much as I enjoy being in a worn-out Tee and sweatpants, I try to reserve that privilege for the stay-in-bed all-day weekends. I’m wearing a kaftan with a drawstring from Cord’s S/S 20 collection, which has been crafted in cotton-satin with hand-embroidered motifs. It makes me want to tuck into my favorite corner for a quick read before my daily nap.”

ASU LONGKUMER, MODEL AND STYLIST

“This is my quarantine outfit – it’s my go-to look comprising shorts and an oversized shirt that are both from my vintage label, Red Empress. I’ve paired it with a basic tank top from Urban Outfitters. Being confined indoors doesn't mean we can’t look good; in fact, it keeps me calm in times of chaos and uncertainty. On a regular day, I’d be out running errands in this look.”
