We’ve featured these reader-favorite, comfortable round-toe flats from Børn in a lot of our roundups over the years, including our recent roundup of cute flats for the office, but I don’t think we’ve ever done a Coffee Break just for them. We’re picturing the newer knit version (also available in black and gray), but they … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Julianne Flats
The Corporette Workwear Hall of Fame
Welcome to The Corporette Workwear Hall of Fame! I started this blog in 2008 -- and I've been fascinated to see how, every so often, a company gets such a rave response to a dress, bag, or blazer that they keep producing the item, year after year. There may be new colors or patterns, or slight adaptions like pockets or sleeves -- but in general it's the exact same product. These classic, best-selling styles are exactly the pieces you want to use to build your work wardrobe. We always mention the Hall of Famers in our biweekly Hunts (where we go on the Hunt for a classic workwear piece), but I thought it would be great to collect some of these heavy hitters into one easy place for readers to review the items. Thus: the Corporette Workwear Hall of Fame was born.

Workwear Hall of Fame: Dagne Dover
I was excited to see recently that Nordstrom now carries Dagne Dover, which has been a reader favorite for years for their sturdy, coated canvas totes. They have several fun, saturated colors like this “Palm green” or their classic cobalt “Dagne blue,” but they also have neutrals. By way of a mini Dagne Dover tote … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Dagne Dover
Workwear Hall of Fame: Pleat-Neck V-Neck Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Anne Klein has had this top in white and black for a while now (white is marked down to $29 today!) — it’s one of those great basics for layering under suits because it’s got a little bit of pleating … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Pleat-Neck V-Neck Top
Workwear Hall of Fame: Zala Heels
I was perusing Bloomingdale’s best-selling shoes recently and thought, OH, hey, I know those. Indeed, we’ve featured these pointy-toed, block heeled pumps numerous times before in our hunts for comfortable black pumps and nude-for-you heels — but we’ve never done a Coffee Break just for them. Bloomingdale’s only has them in black and tan suede, … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Zala Heels
Workwear Hall of Fame: Non-Iron Tailored-Fit Dress Shirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This shirt from Brooks Brothers is a total classic and has been around forever.

If you haven’t bought one yet and you … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Non-Iron Tailored-Fit Dress Shirt
Workwear Hall of Fame: The Sant Ambroeus Jardigan
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Readers have always loved the MM.LaFleur jardigan (and if you read some of the comments you’ll see how some are styling it — taking out the shoulder pads, etc.). If you’re not a fan of blazers and you like an easy, … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: The Sant Ambroeus Jardigan
Workwear Hall of Fame: Audrey Jana Work Tote
Readers have always loved Lodis Accessories totes, and we’ve featured many of them over the years. This tote looks lovely because it’s a great size (15″ x 5.5″ x 12.75″) and I like the little details like the red piping. There are other Lodis totes that look very similar that have a laptop pocket, which … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Audrey Jana Work Tote
Weekend/Business Casual Hall of Fame: Innis Sandals
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. There are a million sandals out there with a kind of schlubby look, or a glam, disco-diva look on the other end, but if you just want a slight heel to wear with shorts for a put-together weekend look, I think this is your perfect shoe. It’s … Read More about Weekend/Business Casual Hall of Fame: Innis Sandals
Workwear Hall of Fame: Classic Leather Zipper Tote
This lovely zipped tote comes in light pearl gray, caramel, and sable, as well as the black we’re featuring here. If you’re not familiar with the brand Cuyana, readers have been singing its praises for years. They make really simple, basic bags that are affordable, too — this one is $195. If you choose the “Lean Closet” option … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Classic Leather Zipper Tote
Workwear Hall of Fame: Fabulist Heels
These $80 strappy pumps have been on my radar for a while now, and for some reason I’m always amazed to see how many rave reviews they get at Zappos: right now there are 187 reviews and a solid 5-star rating. There are more colorways right now than I’ve ever seen before, too: seven color … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Fabulist Heels
Workwear Hall of Fame: Inverted-Pleat Blouse
