Workleisure is the new business casual (emphasis on the casual) when it comes to fashion for the new wave of hybrid workers. YPulse’s Fashion and Style research predicted that “biz-leisure” would be a COVID-born trend that lives on post-pandemic and workleisure is proving it’s true. Also known as “business comfort” and “power casual,” workleisure is at the forefront of fashion for young workers as a result of the Great Resignation and push for remote positions. Personal styling retailer Stitch Fix surveyed 1,300 clients in March and “found that nearly half of them wanted to buy a new work wardrobe, and that 68% said they planned to wear more relaxed silhouettes in the office than they did pre-pandemic.” Young shoppers are gravitating towards stretchy-knitted pants and loose tops. Traditional work-wear go-tos like J. Crew are adapting to this trend but also finding themselves in competition with unexpected retailers like Lululemon and Athleta. (Fashionista)
