Hinsdale entrepreneurs and style gurus, Megan Brotschul and Lisa Kahley, introduced “The New Dress Code” this spring at Marcus in downtown Hinsdale. The bevy of runway looks featured inventive wardrobe updates—marrying athleisure and luxe styles—while showing attendees “how to get dressed again after COVID.” The inspiring evening also served as a fundraising opportunity for Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club’s scholarships for Hinsdale Central High School and Hinsdale South High School with club members serving as guest models. To see more post-pandemic style, follow Brotschul’s Style Strategy on Instagram: @style_strategy and Kahley’s Game Set Style on Instagram: @gamesetstyle.
Dress up for Zoom calls and dinner, or dress down for everyday wear with leggings and sneakers.
Neutrals are having a moment right now, which is great for those easing into getting dressed again. Combine must-have paperbag pants with a silk tee, and a luxe leather jacket for an effortless, yet elevated look.
As tempting as it is to continue the loungewear lifestyle, putting an actual outfit together is good for mental health. Combine several key pieces like high-waisted denim, a silk top, and a tweed jacket with your current wardrobe to maximum versatility.
Given the new WFH environment, one of the most sought-after
pieces is the “above the keyboard” top—a mock neck and subtle
cut out keep the femininity and it can be worn casually with
denim and boots or taken up a notch with a statement jacket.
