The 6 Best Stores for Work Clothes, According to a Fashion Editor
Shopping for work clothes can look different depending on what type of job you have and the dress codes for your particular profession, but from an editor's point of view, some brands top our list for pieces that are fashion-forward and office-appropriate. Tailoring and suiting have been key focuses on the runways and major trends in recent years, so there are incredible options at designer labels and affordable brands alike.
Ahead, we're breaking down the best stores for work clothes. Designers such as Toteme have perfected great tailoring with sleek blazers and versatile, elevated staples that you can wear season after season. If you're looking for pieces that hit at a lower price point, editor-favorite options include brands such as COS and Mango, where you can find everything from minimalist suiting to classic tweed sets. Ahead, see the work clothes to shop now, according to a fashion editor.
1. COS
Offering a cool take on classic wardrobe pieces made with sustainable materials, COS is an editor favorite. The brand has a sophisticated take on minimalism at prices that typically hit under $300, so they are smart pieces to add to your work wardrobe.
2. The Frankie Shop
Known for its directional designs and cool takes on tailoring, French brand The Frankie Shop has a permanent spot on the street style scene but also in the offices of the fashion set. Favorites like its Gelso suiting continue to return season after season, but there are always new office-appropriate pieces dropping from the brand.
3. Reformation
Reformation may be best known for its dresses and prints, but the growing collection of work clothes is noteworthy. Look out for matching sets like this season's vest top and maxi skirt as well as the brand's cult favorite Mason pants that are available in a wide range of colors.
4. Mango
Mango has a wide range of designs available, but the workwear section is particularly strong. The tweed pieces are standouts, so look out for everything from timeless jackets to matching sets. The accessories are also noteworthy—pieces that include everything from classic items to trend-forward designs.
5. Toteme
Scandinavian brand Toteme is rooted in the idea of creating a modern uniform that can transcend trends, so it comes as no surprise that its beautifully constructed pieces are so well suited for everyday office looks. The pieces span from tailored to refined, all with a cool take on easy, minimalist dressing.
6. HommeGirls
HommeGirls, which was founded by Thakoon Panichgul, takes inspiration from menswear for its designs. Pieces such as crisp button-down shirting, perfectly oversize trench coats and sweaters, and trousers with flipped waistbands are among the cool pieces that have grown a cult following with the fashion set.
