pleats

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Willow Cap Sleeve Double Tuck DressI love so much about this dress: the color, the unusual pleats, the pockets. The price, of course, is not the dress’s redeeming feature, but then, it is a splurge suggestion. It’s $695 at ShopBop. Willow Cap Sleeve Double Tuck Dress

Banana Republic Sidepleat DressBanana Republic seems to have a ton of cute dresses right now, including this simple cotton sheath dress (available in “moss,” pictured, a light “purple petal,” and a black). Love the gathered pleats to give it fit, love that it’s fully lined, and love the invisible zip. It’s available in regular, tall and petite for $130. Banana Republic Sidepleat Dress

ASOS Twist Sleeve Pleat Front TopI really like the look of this jersey top. Love the interesting cap sleeves and the pleats in the front, as well as the scoop neckline. I’m more a fan of the navy (pictured) than the beige, but that’s just my own coloring. I’d wear it with a pencil skirt and pair of purple pumps. It’s $34.48 at Asos.  ASOS Twist Sleeve Pleat Front Top

Reader H emailed to suggest this dress, noting “This link shows it in the ‘Hot Orange’ color, which is very on-trend right now. It is made out of jersey and could be worn for a night or day event, but it’s definitely appropriate for work. I’m planning on wearing it (in black, with a jacket) to an event at the White House this week and to a rehearsal dinner next month! I’ve got some major hips and have trouble wearing traditional sheath dresses, but this one is so flattering. I’m usually a size 14, and I bought an extra-large.” It’s a really cute dress, and I can see it easily being a great summer basic. While I’m not sure I would wear a $25 dress to a White House event, a simple dress can be dressed up in so many ways that I can easily see it working — add some quality jewelry and a black blazer and you’ve got a winning high-low mixture. The dress is available in black, teal, orange, and grey for $24.99 at Target. Mossimo® Women’s Pleated Zip Back Dress – Hot Orange

Ribbon Belt 2 In 1 DressiconReaders mentioned this dress in comments yesterday, and it seemed great to feature for today’s TPS. While I wish the skirt were just a few inches longer on the model, I’m hoping in real life it won’t be an issue. I like the khaki skirt and its pleats, as well as the boatneck top (and slight empire waist to the dress).  It’s always great to see actual sleeves on a summer dress, and the pockets are also a nice touch. I might throw in a pop of red somewhere — perhaps a necklace or cuff. It’s $79.90 at The Limited. Ribbon Belt 2 In 1 Dressicon

Carolina Herrera Side-Pleat DressToday we’re liking this regal red number from Carolina Herrera.  Love the side pleats on the one shoulder, and the way they continue to the hem; it’s also great to see an asymmetric neckline again.  The dress is made of wool, cashmere and angora with a silk lining — so perhaps we’ll have to wait until the heat wave breaks to wear it.  It’s $2,790 at Bergdorf Goodman.  Carolina Herrera Side-Pleat Dress
