Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
If you’ve never been a “less is more” kind of dresser, this top might be for you. I’m firmly in the “more is more” camp and rarely encounter a ruffle, flouncy sleeve, or embellishment that I don’t like.
I worked in a firm that had a business formal wardrobe until well into the 2010s, and one of my favorite tricks for sneaking in a little personal style was to add some texture, whether it was through ruffles, pindots, or draping.
This top from Mille would pair nicely with a skirt suit if you’re looking to add a little fun to a formal look.
The top is $178 at Mille and comes in sizes XXS–XL.
