Stylish and Socially Distant: Fall Looks, Zoom Calls, & Zara Trends
Styling and Photography: Naomi Esayas
Okay, we get it. You haven’t exactly needed to get dressed up in months. Most of us are spending time looking at people through those little squares on Zoom, and even for that, we’re probably not wearing pants (secrets out). Speaking of Zoom, Zoom has officially become my go-to for meetings, date nights, and celebrating friends’ weddings and birthdays. My everyday look consists of a dress top, and well, Nike shorts. As long as my top half looks professional on video, I’m all good. For the last couple of months, online shopping has become a go-to more than usual. I’ve been buying clothes, but they remain in my closet as I don’t have many places to go to.
With fall upon us, I’ve decided to dress up a little bit more. I might be inside, but why not make dressing up fun again. Whether you’re attending a virtual night in with friends or attending a date over Zoom, here are some trendy outfit ideas! Now, if you decide to go out, remember to social distance, wear a mask, and follow the public health regulations in place for wherever you are!
First Look: Date Night
