Zara is one of the top choices for when you want to show up to the office feeling like you’re stepping onto a runway. Their trending “Butter Yellow” clothing line has dresses, tops, trousers, and coordinates that are all in yellow, perfect for matching with something dark or neutral. For those big shot meetings where you want to look a little sharper, their “The Red Carpet” line features tailored pieces like the limited edition smoking suit blazer paired with matching banded suit pants. Massimo Dutti is another fashion line under the same parent company as Zara, offering textured tops and flowy wide-legged pants.
2. Everlane
Everlane purposely keeps things simple. The brand’s philosophy is reflected in their clothing pieces that speak to modern minimalism and emphasize the use of high-quality fabrics that meet comfort and functionality. Being “radically transparent,” their items are clearly labeled with the names of the fabrics being used, like the “Alpaca Crew Sweater,” an oversized and comfy crew neck made from alpaca fleece. Following sustainability and eco-consciousness, they also have their “Renew Long Puffer Jacket” made with 100% polyester from 60 recycled bottles.
3. Banana Republic
Banana Republic is all about helping you exude comfort and confidence. Their pieces range from clean-lined blazers to elegant, but not too extravagant, blouses and skirts. The brand also offers clothing apparel with quality fabrics such as cotton, linen, and wool blends. Their latest line, “The Getaway Edit,” brings a vintage twist to modern clothing with pieces like Tencel™-linen jackets, cotton poplin maxi and midi skirts, and crochet-style cropped tops, all with different patterns and colors, incorporating vintage into modern clothing. Bonus points: their petite-friendly sizing will make your moves sharp and stylish no matter your size or shape.
4. Marks & Spencer
Marks and Spencer (M&S) is known for its classic and timeless British workwear, combining style and functionality. The brand offers flattering, fitted, and relaxed cuts in black, navy, and grey colors using quality fabrics like wool blends, crepe, and cotton blends that feel as good as they look. M&S’s top picks on their website include flat pumps, dresses, and tops, all in polka-dotted designs.
