Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This Roland Mouret dress is a fun take on the little black dress closet staple. The sleeves would make it a little tricky to wear under a blazer, but I think they’re too pretty to be covered anyway. This dress is $2,150 at 11 Honoré and is available in UK sizes 18–24 (US sizes 14–20). I couldn’t find a straight-sized version of this dress, but Net-a-Porter has it in a peachy-pink in UK sizes 6-20 for ... Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Bancroft Dress
Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Polka-Dot Split-Neck Blouse
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This polka-dotted top seems like it’s just the right level of whimsy for a casual Friday. It’s a print with some visual interest that doesn’t go too far over the top for a conservative office. I would wear this tucked in with a bright pencil skirt and a cardigan or blazer. The website suggests machine washing and line-drying, but for this price, I might be willing to roll the dice and throw it in the ...

Workwear Hall of Fame: Notch Collar Cotton Blend Blazer
Dec. 2020 Update: Select colors of this cozy blazer are on sale for $58 in the 2020 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. When I was a junior associate at a large firm, I had a few outfits in my closet that I kept on reserve for particularly busy weeks. The idea was to have something that was professional-looking in case I was called into a last-minute meeting, but soft and cozy enough that I ...

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: The Deneuve Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The M.M.LaFleur Deneuve Top is a favorite of mine. The fabric drapes beautifully and the cut is incredibly flattering. As an added bonus, the v-neck is not cut so low that I feel like I need a camisole underneath to make it work-appropriate. I would note that in my experience, the top looks best when it’s tucked into a skirt or pants, unlike the way they’ve styled it on the model here. The only ...

Splurge Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Colorblock Sweater Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The pale pink, navy, and orange are an unexpected color combination, but I think it’s working in this scalloped striped dress. I love a sweater dress in the summer as an antidote to aggressive air conditioning. I would wear this with a navy blazer to make it look a bit more formal (maybe like this one from J.Crew?) or just a navy cardigan. This dress is from Lela Rose and is $1,290 at Nordstrom. It’s ...

Workwear Hall of Fame: EZY Ankle-Length Pants
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. These pants look perfect for a summer Friday. The ankle length isn’t appropriate everywhere, so know your office, but I’m loving the light gray color and wrinkle-resistant fabric. The combination of the low price and elastic waistband makes them a very appealing option if you’re fluctuating between sizes for any reason -- a friend of mine bought these in multiple colors and lived in them for her ...

Thursday’s Workwear Report: Floral Wrap Blouse
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This top is just so pretty and spring-y. It has an ethereal vibe that I think could still fly in a business setting if styled with very structured pieces. I would wear it with a pair of fitted ankle pants and a slim-fitting blazer or replace the self-tie with a brown or cognac belt and wear it with a navy pencil skirt. I would also be sure to wear it with a white or nude-for-you cami underneath. The ... Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Floral Wrap Blouse
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Richmond Pencil Skirt
The below content concerns the 2019 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Boden is always my go-to for fun prints, and the blue and green pattern on this skirt feels fresh and lively without looking too busy. For an office on the more business side of business casual, I would style this with a white blouse and navy blazer. In a more casual setting, I would love to see this paired with a yellow or ...

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Scuba Crepe Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. As far as I’m concerned, this is a perfect work dress. It has some fun detail with the ruching at the waist but doesn’t stray too far from a traditional sheath. The v-neck is flattering on just about everyone, and the elbow-length sleeves are long enough to cover your arms without having to add a blazer or a sweater, but still short enough that you could throw on a blazer without the awkward bunching ...

Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Kenley Dress Cerulian Blue Crepe
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I can’t be the only one who immediately thinks of Miranda Priestly when I come across a cerulean-colored article of clothing! This bright blue dress is a perfect Monday morning pick-me-up. The cut is classic, but the folds and draping at the top make it a little more interesting. I would probably wear this without a blazer or other topper to let the structural details shine through. It’s $425 at The ... Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Kenley Dress Cerulian Blue Crepe
