"If the pandemic proved anything, it's that even the most important professional accomplishments can be achieved in pajamas," says Jesse Carere, CMO, The Community. "The Worksie was months in the making. After many late-night debates on what the return to the office should look like, ongoing discussions with staff, many prototypes, countless fit tests, and dozens of art-work submissions for the print - the Worksie was born. The Worksie creates a new category of work attire and will ease the return to the office with extreme comfort and style."

Worksie: baller monogram print with meaning
The Worksie features a bold black and yellow monogram print drawn from The Community visual identity. Art Mandalas, President & Chief Creative Officer, describes the design rationale as symbolic of where we've been and where we're headed.

"The yellow pops against the black and is like a light at the end of a tunnel, kind of a metaphor for the pandemic and the cautious return to the office where people can reconnect," says Mandalas, the driving force behind the Worksie. "We implemented a flexible work-from-home/work-from-office schedule and invented the Worksie to let staff know they can still be comfortable at the office."
