I Never Wear Dresses to Work, But I Would 100% Try These
That’s a lie. I did wear a dress to work once recently, during my I Tried It Week challenge, but it was so unusual and unfamiliar to me, that it actually was what drew my attention to the fact that I never really do it otherwise. I wish I had a reason for you, but I don’t even know why I don’t wear dresses to work. Perhaps it’s because I’m so comfortable in jeans (even in the summer) that I don’t really feel the need, or maybe it’s because I don’t have the right ones. Whatever the reason, my one dress-to-work experience this year really made me feel like I should be doing it more often, hence today’s roundup. From $35 to $300 and up, I found 24 dresses that I'd totally ditch my daily denim look for. To see what made the cut and, of course, do some shopping along the way, just keep scrolling.
For more casual office dress codes (like ours), animal print is not off-limits.
Sleeper's dresses are so versatile you can wear them to lounge in, to beach in, or, of course, to the office.
This is definitely summer-ready, but it would also look so good with a sweater in the fall.
Faithfull's dresses have taken the fashion world by storm this season.
Kate Middleton vibes, am I right?
I feel like a minidress can work for the office if it's a little more covered up top.
I love the added touch of the tortoise-tone belt buckle on this one.
If off-the-shoulder tops are off-limits at your office, not to worry because Rixo has plenty of other options for you.
Up next? See, read about, and shop my favorite jewelry brands at every budget.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
