Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
We are always huge fans of DvF dresses but for the minor fact that, well, we have only met one person who can wear the wrap dress to work. For everyone else, they are too low, too flyaway, too revealing… This dress, the “New Domina,” has none of those problems. The quality is still there, both in the fit and the fabric (slightly stretchy but not too much), as well as the simple yet unique design. Available at ShopBop for $365 (in navy/white, as shown, as well as hot pink and plain black). Diane von Furstenberg New Domina Dress

It’s funny you say that, because I consider the Diane von Furstenberg dress the staple of my working wardrobe. They NEVER wear out (I have a pink one and a black one I’ve worn regularly for almost a decade), especially if they are of the original thick-woven silk.
They don’t wrinkle, you can wrap them into a ball, throw them in your luggage, and more or less just shake them out on a business trip. They are totally forgiving in terms of weight loss / weight gain — much more so than any skirt with a waist, or trousers.
That said, I work in a creative industry (media) and also in a very hot part of Asia (Hong Kong). But I’m surprised other women find them too revealing for the office.
It also helps to (ego aside) buy one size bigger, so you can wrap of the dress more around you, like a kimono. If it just barely fits, then it will flop open embarassingly in the wind!
