What constitutes a pair of "work pants" has shifted significantly over the last decade-plus. In high-rises and office parks around the country, where once only wool trousers and cotton chinos with dress shirts dutifully tucked into them could roam, suddenly jeans started strutting down the hallways. Denim and dress shoes? Heaven forbid! Except, well, it looked pretty damn good and felt pretty damn good, too. Then the pandemic hit, folks started working from home in sweats, and the whole concept of owning pants just for the office started to seem, if not entirely unnecessary, then at least more like a suggestion than a rule. If you do have to head back into an office, look for work pants with elastane, or ones with a roomier silhouette. Better yet, if you can get away with it, opt for trousers with a drawstring. We have all them and more below, primed for purchasing.

A worth-the-investment couch must be as inviting to sit in as it is comfy, making it a haven for when you've officially had it in the middle of a WFH day. It also must fit the bill for your evening leisure time of binge-watching Succession or the weekend vibe of pretending to read One Hundred Years of Solitude. Lastly, it must be functional—and not all couches are functional—to fit your room's square footage all while lifting the tone up from cold to cozy. And if there's a couch that checks all these, we call that couch a luxury couch. |
