Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
I have a blouse from a few seasons ago very similar to this one from Ann Taylor, and it’s one of my most-worn winter items.
The dark purple color is shockingly versatile (I wore it with olive pants last week and I thought it looked great), and the slightly longer length means that I can easily tuck it into any of my pants or skirts.
I love the way they’ve styled it with ivory pants, but if you’re someone who is commuting through any kind of wintry slush this time of year, you might be better off sticking with black or gray.
The top is $59.50 at Ann Taylor and comes in sizes XXS-XXL and XXSP-XLP. It also comes in “autumn rose.”
Looking for something similar? Ann Taylor has a number of washable mixed media pleat blouses of the non-shiny variety. For plus sizes, check out this reader-favorite NYDJ blouse.
