Corporette's Workwear Hall of Fame 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. Thus: the Corporette Workwear Hall of Fame was born.

These tees are great — and many are on sale! My favorite is the V-neck with sleeves, but it also comes in a sleeveless V-neck.

After working from home for several months, all I’m looking for in a pair of work pants is something that is as close to leggings as possible without actually being confused for athleisure or loungewear.
