Business on the top. Party on the bottom.

These days, the waistline acts as an equator. Fashion is worlds apart above and below it and the new “roll out of bed” look is to quite literally roll out of bed. 

Call it what you want, but quarantine chic is innovative and here to stay (hopefully not for too long though, fingers crossed). 

Frankly, although people are socially distant, life goes on. Meaning work and play are both still in session. Both require an isolator to dress the part. 

Above the waistline, quarantine chic calls for business. The sweaters, perhaps blouses, button ups. To cater to the taste of fellow zoom call participants, some must pretend to dress the part. 

Here’s where the party on the bottom comes into play. The possibilities are endless. Fuzzy socks, fuzzy pants, sweats from your best friend’s sweet sixteen birthday bash in high school (vintage).

Slippers, moccasins, or even barefoot. Feet and legs and comfy, people can finally physically kick back and relax. 

This half and half ensemble reflects the world’s reaction to COVID-19. There is a desire to emerge back into the productiveness and action of life, but not exactly the rat race. 

COVID-19 has enlightened and urges the public to stop and smell the roses. Culturally, especially in the tri state area, as a human race things were moving at such high speeds.

The flexibility and balance between work and life needs to be reinstilled into the DNA of families today. Sure, anyone can have a fancy high paying job and spend all their time chasing a dollar. But what cannot be measured is love, quality time, and self care.

The different and what some would call “crazy” patterns and outfits people are sporting are calls to action. It serves as a reminder that it is important to live fully. 

Regardless, life does not end. Love does not end. Relationships do not end. Conversation does not end. Joy does not end. Passion does not end. 

To find the silliness and balance needed to get through this uncertainty is important. To find the silver lining, wherever that may be, in fun pants or fuzzy slippers, is all part of our healing. 

Perhaps once this is all said and done, humans will consider the balance with each new pursuit they encounter. In a time where everyone wants to be the one to know, maybe this will teach humans to find peace in uncertainty, and become one with faith.
