lifestyle

work dynamically

The concept of working smarter and not harder is something SILOU has made a sentiment before the pandemic. As much of our lives have shifted to the home, and for those working away a more grewling daily commute. Our productivity is achieved on very different terms.

Across the UK, China, US and Europe, many of us are choosing flexible remote working options. This shift to hybrid working has not only changed how we do our jobs but also how we schedule our days, eat and exercise. With more of us flexing work around family duties and other activities, we believe reviewing a lifestyle to keep us focus, energise our minds and enviroments can improve both our personal and work lives.

CREATE A MULTIFUNCTIONAL WARDROBE

For us, loungewear and activewear that's comfortable enough to wear inside and beyond your front door is a key factor. The Naomi Legging is a great example - crafted for unbeatable softness and made from a non-toxic buttery smooth material that makes both sititng in one spot comfortable as it does moving in an exercise class. Also, elevated loungewear and outdoorsy pieces such as the Mahany Sweater, perfectly oversized and elegant for important meetings and weekends.

HEAD OUTDOORS

Exercise and rest during the pandemic was seen as a passive activity - something that happened very easily and between all parts of our days. Today, rest and exercise is becoming harder to pursue and track as our days are filled with different obligations and the commutes inbetween. Heading outdoors with a walk is a habit we can add easily to our schedules, aligning with errands, commutes and staying connected to educational podcasts and communicating with friends, colleagues and family.

Prioritse heading outside each day, to support your quest for tracking exercise as well as your ability to perform better each day.

WORK COMFORTABLY

Move away from make shift books that prop your laptop and high kitchen stools to use as an office chair. Invest in pieces that value comfort when creating a more permanent office set up. Even the smallest purchases can become stress relieving treats and indulgences - think cosy blankets, a chair to have with your legs up and feel good candles that take the edge off your busy day. The comfort of a space with fresh colours, cocooning furniture will give you the reassurance and encouragement for a more versatile work life.

THE SILOU GIFT GUIDE

THE SILOU GIFT GUIDE

There's an art to gift giving. It says alot about you, what you've gifted and why. Done right, you feel a sense of achievement - perhaps even a little smug. A blend of visual intelligence, years of friendship and understanding means you can recognise your loved for who they are, and most importantly - their potential. It's not essential to gift these items for a happy Christmas, but we're sure they'll be over the moon with any of these.
