The Best Places to Refresh Your Work Wardrobe
With fall coming in hot, its time to get the work wardrobe up and running. There are always the office favorites like Club Monaco and Madewell, but to keep things interesting, here are some new brands and retailers to mix up your look.
La Ligne
Using the simplicity of a line as its creative foundation, La Ligne offers essential office staples like silk button-downs and cashmere pullovers. Their versatility and sophistication makes them easy to re-wear all year round and for any occasion.
The Line
The Line is an e-commerce site that is always updating its options to suit the season. Their bottoms in particular offer a wide variety of appropriate and tasteful pants for work, from simple black slacks to flare jeans to dress up your casual friday ensemble.
Aris
A gift from Australia, Aris offers the perfect upscale workdress at the right price. The daytime workplace counterpart to BNKR, the label keeps designs simple and focuses on nailing fit. Dress up their options with a cute jacket or fun statement jewelry.
Totokaelo
Maybe the edgiest brand on this list, Totokaelo is a great place for statement pieces that aren’t too distracting. With a wide range of clothes, shoes, and accessories, I’m particularly a fan of the jumpsuit category — no need to worry about matching top and bottom. To give you a sense of what we’re dealing with, The e-boutique offers labels like Marni, Acne, and Jil Sander.
Kit And Ace
It happens — you woke up this morning and you did not want to put on “work clothes”. Meet Kit and Ace, the most comfortable way to look pulled-together at the office. Their silk blouses are pajama-soft and their shift dresses may even let you get away with wearing cool sneakers in to work.
Of Mercer
Of Mercer is the brand for the business meeting power outfit — even if you’re used to keeping things more low-key when not seeing clients, this brand will give you the right pieces to upgrade your usual uniform to right below business formal. Tailored work dresses, blazers and skirts all built to take you from the office to evening cocktails and events.
Whistles
English e-commerce site Whistles has mastered business casual options. If you’re a fan of lace in the workplace, you’ve found your spot. Dresses, blouses and camis that all work to soften up a pantsuit. The site also offers both a product and outfit view, which is great for inspiration but making sure you get a closer look at what you’re buying.
Bird
Known for their boutique in Brooklyn, NYC, Bird also offers an excellent online experience. With a combination of up-and-coming designers and more established labels, we’re particularly a fan of their shoe options.
Doen
Doen is what happens when a chic bohemian has to go to work. Effortless blouses and tunics are easy to wear with a skinny jean and high heel for a more relaxed day at the office.
The Kooples
French brand The Kooples offers a wide range of upscale office options. Tulle blouses, dressed-up tees, and silk wrap dresses are easy to pair with an oxford loafer, and their jacket collection can upgrade any outfit.
Staud
Staud specializes in the shift dress. A little on the shorter side, pair it with leggings to make them suit the workplace and you’re good to go. Staud also offers great sets of matching skirts and tops to make getting dressed particularly easy.
Finery
Almost everything on Finery works at the office, and at a great price point. The English brand feels somewhere between Zara and Uniqlo and has built all the recent trends like culottes and off-the-should blouses into work attire.
