This Fashion-Favorite Mall Brand Has A+ Work Wardrobe Essentials

There are certain stores that just get it—and Ann Taylor is one of them. Located in most major malls across the country (and available to everyone online, of course), the retailer stocks those everyday essentials that are essential to building out a well-rounded closet. While we hit up the shop for casual finds (like denim, T-shirts, and the like) to incorporate into our off-duty lives, Ann Taylor is truly a go-to destination for workwear in particular. Seriously. One sweep through your nearest location or a scroll through on the site and you’ll find quality suiting options, sleek blouses, polished accessories, and everything in-between. To get a sense of the must-haves that are worth testing out in your 9-to-5 world, we’re showcasing the 15 office-appropriate items worth adding to your cart below. Keep scrolling and give your work wardrobe the upgrade it so deserves.
