Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

A good fit-and-flare workwear dress is hard to find these days, but if this is your preferred silhouette, White House Black Market has just the thing for you.

This stretch ponte dress with gold button embellishments comes in both navy and black — perfect neutrals for any wardrobe. I would add a white blazer for a classic look.

The dress is $170 at White House Black Market and comes in sizes 00–18.

For a more affordable option, check out this one from Black Label by Evan-Picone (on sale for $39.50 at JCPenney; sizes 2–18); Calvin Klein has a dress available in plus sizes for $99.95 at Belk.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I don’t usually feel compelled to spend nearly $2k on a single article of clothing, but this dress from Carolina Herrera is making my hand slowly creep toward my AmEx. The color is very Elle Woods, the shape is very Claire Underwood, and that unholy union is kind of my sweet spot.

For an office look, I would keep all shoes and accessories very simple and really let the dress shine.

The dress is $1,990 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes 0–22.

Two dresses that are more affordable are from Ann Taylor (on sale for $111.30; petite and straight sizes) and CeCe ($129 at Dillard’s; 14W-24W).

Normally, I’m not looking to this brand for pieces that are over $300, but this dress was so pretty I couldn’t resist.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Normally, I’m not looking to Ann Taylor for pieces that are over $300, but this dress was so pretty I couldn’t resist. This cashmere sweater dress somehow looks both cozy and formal, a nearly impossible combination, but one I’m looking to achieve from November through February.

I’m leaning toward the black version, but it also comes in “seastorm,” a gorgeous deep blue.

The dress is $328 and comes in classic sizes XXS-XXL and petite sizes XXS-XL.

How fun is this tweed dress from Tuckernuck? I would tread carefully with accessorizing because I think it could veer into costume-y if you lean too hard into the preppiness of it all. Pair it with some black tights and booties for a fun fall/winter office look.

The dress is $278 at Tuckernuck and comes in sizes XXS-XXL.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

This V-neck sheath from Boss would be perfect for someone who has a pretty solid work wardrobe but is looking to level up with some bolder pieces. The V-neck sheath is a classic silhouette, but the zipper accents add a little something special, kind of like tossing a leather jacket over an evening gown.

I would wear this to the office on a day when I’m headed right to an after-work event with some of my cooler, more creative friends.

The dress is $595 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 0-14.

(Looking for something similar but more affordable? Donna Morgan has a ton of sleeved sheath dresses at Amazon and Nordstrom Rack.)

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I firmly believe that a black sheath dress with sleeves is a necessity for any working woman. If you find one that you love, you’ve got a full outfit hanging in your closet, ready to go for any formal occasion — important meetings, after-work events, funerals, speaking engagements, etc. (Lawyers, I would still add a blazer for court, but that’s about it.)

This dress from Theory is $375 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes 0–12.

A couple of options that are more affordable come from Alexia Admor (on sale for $89.99, XS–XL) and London Times (on sale for $49.97, 14W–22W).
