Simpl CEO doesn't like to fuss about what to wear, says it saves time in the morning

Nityanand Sharma, Founder and CEO of Simpl makes sure his everyday lockdown outfit is not drastically different from his everyday work outfit which conforms to comfort first.

"A t-shirt, preferably a company one with a pair of chinos does the trick for me. Not having to fuss over the day’s attire saves me some precious time early in the morning," he says.

Dressing game

"One can’t go wrong with a ready business casual blazer when it comes to smartening up. I keep a jacket close at hand. Donning it over my t-shirt, I find helps me transition from a casual work call to important stakeholder meetings in a matter of seconds without much effort," he shares.

For work call attire, Sharma keeps it casual and comfortable. "A t-shirt, most days and a pair of chinos or jeans work just fine for most of my meetings and calls. For strategy meetings and networking, I don a blazer over it," he says.

Call wear
Sharma doesn't have a favourite loungewear brand that he is loyal to. "Anything comfortable works for me. A smart hoodie with joggers is a perfect after-work attire I’d opt for. It fits in perfectly for those after-hours impromptu video calls as well," he says.

Sharma hasn’t indulged in any guilty shopping during the lockdown. "I didn't buy anything particularly in the clothes or accessories department. I did, however, give my home office an upgrade, making it more ergonomic as I spend copious amounts of time there," he says.

Missing element
"I love my sneakers, both for business and casual getups. Confined to the four walls of my house, I miss the feel of comfortable shoes," he shares.

Sharma is all for functionality and for him the N95 masks fulfil that to the T. "At home, I use a clinical mask when I have to come in contact with outsiders. For me, in matters of health, purpose and functionality always trump fashion," he says.
