Elsa Hosk takes her fashion seriously. Signed with IMG Models, the Swedish-runway star is known for her daring looks and for delighting her social media followers with her creative styling and designer wardrobe. Even when she’s chilling at home, Hosk’s outfits are thrilling. Though she’s not immune to the appeal of sweats, her work from home outfits are as varied as her street style and red carpet looks were. One day she’s lounging in bed wearing Simon Porte Jacquemus’s take on the bike-short, another she’s paging through art biographies in Saks Potts, or enjoying a slice of pizza while wearing head to toe Bottega Veneta.
Rather than being tied to one style, Hosk leans into the transformative aspect of dressing—even when she's just at home feeding her cats. In a moment when days can bleed into each other and feel monotonous, her capricious experimentation offers lessons on how to use fashion as a mood booster. Granted, your Zoom look might not include Gucci track pants or a Chanel bag, but incorporating a little glamour into the mix never hurt anyone. Below, Hosk walks us through a week in her wardrobe.

This look is Jacquemus. It’s raining today, and this look makes me feel like it’s sunny and I’m on vacation. I love Jacquemus; I met Simon for the first time at a dinner he had in Paris. He is so sweet. I respect the brand he has built so much. And he has such a clear and beautiful aesthetic from the colors he uses to the food, places, architecture, and ceramics. I put these sheets on from a Swedish brand called Tekla to match my look. They make the prettiest colors.

These pants are from Alexander Wang, isn’t the cut of them so good? The blazer is by Balenciaga, the top is from Aya Muse, and the sunglasses are District Vision. I’ve been living in athleticwear during the social isolation and feel like the best way to make athleisure look good is to throw a good blazer over it. That way, you can get away with wearing leggings, socks, sneakers, and a crop top out on the street.

This is me lounging in my stretchiest and favorite Saks Potts look and vintage YSL earrings. I’m obsessed with everything Saks Potts does. They are the coolest girls that make the sickest pieces that make you feel unique, but not too serious. The book I’m currently reading is about Hilma af Klint, an incredible Swedish artist born in the 1800s.

We went up on our roof because the sun was out today. It’s the perfect escape: watching over rooftops, and looking at gardens high in the sky with a good oat-milk cappuccino. I’m wearing my best friend during this time--my Pangaia sweatsuit. I get them in every color and size large because the more oversized, the more comfortable! There’s something chic about pairing gorgeous jewelry with a sweatsuit. These earrings are Anita Berisha, the watch is AP, bracelets are Louise Abel, the bag is a vintage Chanel, and the shoes are my all-time favorite sneakers, Adidas' Yung-1.

I’ve been beating my boyfriend in gin all day. I don’t even know if gin is an official game, but a friend taught it to us in Sicily last summer, and it’s so addictive. I’m much better at it than Tom, ha! Our kitty Sanu made a cameo in this pic too. We have two cats, and they run our life and are so needy. They want cuddles 24/7, so right now they’re in heaven because we’re always home. I’m wearing this awesome jacket that was a gift from H2O Fatherholt, and I paired it with these knitted glitter Gucci pants. This look is like a rich hippie, and I love it.

This is me surprising my boyfriend with a whole pizza from Rubirosa (our favorite NYC pizza spot), all dressed up in Bottega Veneta. He went straight for the pizza and didn’t look at me twice. I asked him if he would take a picture before we ate, and I literally got two frames. I felt very pretty, and that’s what matters. Bottega makes you feel so chic, and I was craving wearing something structured and sexy after all these sweatpants.

We went shopping, and I always get overwhelmed in the supermarket and come home with multiple bouquets instead of what we actually need. I got these lilies for our bedroom this week. I put this cashmere set on from Khaite to read my book. My favorite color changes every season, and right now, I’m obsessed with lavender.
