The best-selling, classic workwear styles that professional women need!
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.

I like this blue version ($48, almost sold out at Walmart!) and this cute neutral tone (pictured) — particularly with the gold-tone…
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This top from Vince Camuto has 100+ reviews at Macy’s, and 92% of the reviewers would recommend it to others. It’s normally $69, but right now it’s on sale for $41-$54 and you can get an extra 30% off with promo…
We did a whole roundup of nude-for-you heels last week, but I didn’t realize that Naturalizer has a whole Nude Collection with a million shades. This Michelle pump has been around for a while, and it’s great to see it in so many shades of brown and beige and tan — I applaud the effort on Naturalizer’s part. The…
