Work mode? Home mode? Invest in these wardrobe worthy pieces by Boss that gives you mileage for both

WHILE THINGS ARE SLOWLY inching towards some semblance of normality, many of us are still juggling between working from home and the office.

If you're working from home most days, getting dressed can be one of the best ways to boost your mood and maintain high productivity levels. We're not advocating wearing a suit at home, but a casual day suit - why not? After all, it's been psychologically proven that what we wear impacts our thinking. The solution here is to dress in clothes that strike the right balance between workwear and lounge wear.

What's on trend but yet functional and comfortable are all your streetwear-inspired classics - sweatshirts, hoodies and track pants. In light of the current fashion landscape, German brand Hugo Boss, a tailoring and outerwear house at its core, has released a collaboration with British professional boxer Anthony Joshua for the Fall/Winter season for a capsule collection of easy-wear pieces. Whenever the world gets too crazy, people find comfort in the classics.

And this decade, streetwear is considered the safe harbour for fashion. The BOSS x AJBXNG 10-piece capsule collection co-created by the heavyweight world champion and comprising T-shirts, sweatshirts, jersey pants, knits, and a hooded jacket, embraces this philosophy. Every piece also includes an inspirational message by Joshua that reads: "One more hour, one more day. Never let success get to your head, or failure to your heart."

A smart navy blue palette gives the laid back casual collection a more refined finish. The pieces are thoroughly modern and on trend, not to mention versatile. Take the sweater for example: In a workfrom- home situation, it can be worn in effortless fashion - tucked out with shorts. But if you're heading to the office, tuck the sweater into a pair of slim-cut navy trousers, pair it with white sneakers, and you're good to go.

While the BOSS x AJBXNG capsule collection leans toward a casual laid back style, another collaboration between Boss x Porsche is for more sophisticated men - those who love a little sleek in their everyday wear. Directly inspired by the aesthetics of the new electric Porsche Taycan, this collection sports a tailored and leather look.So if you lean towards a luxe aesthetic, this capsule collection with Porsche puts a high-end twist to your everyday staples. The handsomely tailored leather jacket is definitely the winner in this collection and together with the tailored blazer, they make sound investment pieces when business travel resumes. For now, the T-shirts and hoodies with matching trousers will no doubt be its bestsellers.
