Stylish Day to Night Work Dresses

The Hunt

It can be really, really tricky to find a great dress that is polished and sedate enough to wear to work, but then is interesting or elegant enough to also go to a cocktail party or holiday party after work. So let’s discuss — what are you looking for in day to night work dresses

This dress is almost always under $50, and feels fancy because of the twist detail at the waist. It’s available in sizes 0-22, in a bunch of colors.

This Cascade dress has been a reader favorite for years because it’s so easy to wear — it’s stretchy, it’s flattering, it’s a little bit dramatic, and you can hand wash it. It’s often available in sizes XS-3X as well as petites.

This Adrianna Papell dress disappeared for a bit, but now it's back in stock. It’s a great dress for day to night looks. It’s $129-$159 at Nordstrom and other retailers, available in regular and plus sizes.

I’ve always thought M.M.LaFleur’s Jillian dress was a gorgeous, elegant dress that would be just as appropriate in a conference room as well as at a cocktail party. It comes in a bunch of different colors, for $365 full price.

Man – we have featured so many drool-worthy dresses and blazers from The Fold over the years, it’s hard to say which is my favorite, but this hot pink dress may just be it. SO. FABULOUS.
