Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
A good long-sleeved top can be hard to find, so I knew I had to snag this one from Banana Republic Factory. The scuba fabric is substantial without being too heavy, the V-neck provides a good shape without dipping too low, and the fitted shape layers nicely under sweaters and blazers. Overall, a perfect top for the winter!
The blouse is $18-24 at Banana Republic Factory and comes in sizes XXS-XXL. It also comes in four other colors.
Hunting for more fitted tops? A number of our favorite work-appropriate T-shirts have a fitted, sleek look, particularly Everlane, J.Crew, and the double-layer lines at Boden, Express, Old Navy, and Hobbs. Halogen’s compression tops (in regular and plus!), White House Black Market’s FORME line and New Day’s slim fit tees are also a good option if you want a sleek look.
