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. 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.

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Happy Weekend! This Sam Edelman boot has been around for a thousand years, and it’s very highly rated everywhere. It doesn’t go on sale very often, so this is a great opportunity to snap it up. Amazon has it as low as $102, Nordstrom has some lucky sizes in…
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I feel like we must have featured this Shabby Apple dress at some point over the nearly nine years of this blog because it’s a classic style that I’m sure I’ve seen before. It looks like a great wrap dress,…
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re picturing this MM.LaFleur top in French blue, but it also comes in boysenberry. I think it just looks like a gorgeous, basic wear-to-work (and out) kind of piece — it’s actually the sleeved version of an older style, the Blixen Top. It has…
