If you find yourself spending long hours at home—whether it’s for work, parenting, or just relaxing—you’re probably well-acquainted with the “At Home Wardrobe.” This ensemble usually features a messy bun atop your head and a pile of clothes that could easily be mistaken for a trash heap.
Enter the whimsical illustrations by artist Taylor Grant, which perfectly capture the essence of our homebound fashion choices. These cartoons resonate deeply with anyone who has donned these quirky outfits without a care in the world.
Grant’s series, titled “Work From Home Styles,” brilliantly portrays the reality of women who primarily work from home. The humor is spot on, and the illustrations might even feel a bit too familiar for some.
Winter Looks
The first part showcases typical “winter looks” favored by those of us who spend our days indoors. Think cozy hoodies, worn-out leggings, mismatched socks, and bras that offer little to no support—if they’re worn at all! To all the ladies sporting that $7 discount sports bra, you know what I mean. And let’s not forget those “holey sweatpants” we keep because they’re just so darn comfortable.
Hair and Comfort
The second part is equally relatable, highlighting the humorous reality of hair that seems to have a mind of its own. I too have a collection of “men’s sweatshirts” that were once my dad’s, because there’s simply nothing more comfortable than those oversized garments. They don’t cling to your body like those snug “women’s fit” hoodies do—especially when you’re trying to keep up with energetic toddlers or do household chores.
Everyday Realities
In the third part, the illustrations are simply chef’s kiss. My dryer is perpetually filled with remnants of tissues I’ve stuffed in my pockets, and I own multiple sweaters that essentially double as blankets. It’s been ages since I wore pajama pants that didn’t hover just above my ankles due to shrinkage. These comfy pants might not be suitable for public outings, but they’re perfect for letting the dog out or making that trek to the mailbox.
As someone who has been freelancing from home for two years, I admit I’m guilty of the final look. If a video call arises, it’s business on the top, party on the bottom—think bleach-stained leggings and mismatched socks that were once white but have now taken on a greyish hue at best. My go-to outfit typically includes a graphic tee featuring a memorable quote from Sally Field’s character in Steel Magnolias: “DRINK YOUR JUICE, SHELBY.” Sometimes I elevate the look with an oversized flannel shirt.
Taylor Grant shared with Home Insemination Kit that her cartoons are inspired by her own work-from-home life. “I just illustrated what I actually wear while working, and it’s been wonderful to see how many people connect with my glamorous fashion sense.” She explained that it’s easy to feel isolated when you’re home alone, so it’s delightful to envision all of us in our messy buns and ill-fitting sweatpants getting things done.
