Office Women Struggling to Mentally Detach After Work
What is Psychological Detachment from Work？
According to Sabine Sonnentag, the state of psychological detachment from work during people’s leisure time means when people are away from their work, they mentally disconnect from their work without thinking about job-related issues.
Research shows that compared with men and married women, single women are easier to gain happiness and eliminate fatigue from psychological detachment. Therefore, my research direction is to help female complete the psychological detachment from the work state after work.

The inspiration for this project comes from the message notification sounds after work. Psychological detachment refers to the individual's ability to detach from work both physically and mentally after office hours. In this project, I aim to achieve psychological detachment through innovative garment structures and patterns.
During my research, I found that people often have the habit of pulling down their ties after work. Therefore, my development focus is on exploring how to rapidly change the form of clothing through innovative garment patterns and structures, combined with movements, using a zero-waste cutting method.
