Taking care of business

摘要

For those who have been working from home due to Covid-19, one of the positives has been being able to wear comfier clothes as opposed to the more restrictive 'smart casual' office dress code which had become the norm. However, this comfier lifestyle may soon be about to change. Governments across the world are slowly relaxing their protective measures, making it more likely that many people will soon be heading back into the office, even if not every day of the week. As a result, for many people sweatpants and hoodies will be worn less frequently. Now, although I myself have very much enjoyed working in my pyjama bottoms, I do understand that there needs to be an element of professionalism in the clothes one wears to work. So, what if there was a way to combine smart business apparel with loungewear? Well, founder of Austrian start-up BaronMerino, Markus Hortnagl, is setting out to achieve just that.
