Shop Work Dresses for Every Kind of Office (or Zoom!) Dress Code
The best work dresses have a place in every wardrobe, no matter if you work remotely, go to the office, or meet clients and colleagues on the go. Between meetings, project pitches, interviews, FaceTime with the boss or team members, nothing beats the look of a smart dress; even better if it reflects your personal sense of style.
Start with a simple shirtdress crafted from cotton poplin. Come the colder months, a leather midi dress could surprise you with its professional edge. Similarly, classic wrap silhouettes will pair beautifully with heels, boots, and flats.
For an ultra-buttoned-up look, riff off tailored separates and suiting and look to belted dresses with a bit of structure as well as designs. A polo collar that nods to iconic prep and loafers are unquestionably the ultimate finish. If your dress code has some leniency, knitted dresses and printed styles, from stripes to floral motifs to abstract patterns, will win big. And never forget the classic sheath, timeless tweed, or lustrous silk designs for extra refinement with a feminine touch.
Midi Dress
Midi dresses amount to peak sophistication and are spot-on for work. Modernize your assortment with pleated, polo, and leather designs this season.
Shirtdresses are utterly iconic, coming to popularity in the ’60s, and anchoring many a work dress collection. Refresh your assortment with versions rendered in faux leather or with nuanced details with a knotted, ruched, or wrap-around waistline.
Knit dresses indeed work at work. Focus on longer lengths, higher-cut necklines, and elegant details like pleated skirts or a smart collar.
A belted dress not only defines your shape beautifully but brings structure to your look. Options run the gamut, from whimsical blooms and bohemian prints with bold shoulders to sleeveless designs and maritime-inspired stripes.
No work dress feels better suited to spring and summer’s crisp weather than once crafted from structured cotton poplin in fresh white, classic stripes, and bright colors and prints.
In line with the current country club aesthetic, polo dresses are equally suitable for work in longer lengths, from tiered and knitted to slightly loose and oversize.
Silk unquestionably reads work-appropriate in the form of shirtdresses, A-line mids, and wraps. Offset the gleaming fabric with smooth but not shiny leather and suede footwear, like an ankle boot, kitten heel, or flat.
Tweed is synonymous with sophistication and poise—what could be better for work in cooler weather than a dress crafted from the textured woolen fabric?
Prints are the best way to showcase your personality in the workplace, from classic stripes and feminine florals to mixed motifs and art-inspired patterns.
Sheaths are undoubtedly the most traditional of the bunch, but they needn’t be boring with details like puff sleeves, fresh colors, and impeccably cut minimalist lines at play.
