Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

The Somerset dress from Anthropologie has been my go-to for a few summers now, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this blouse in the same cut. This cheery red print would be fantastic for the office.

I would add some navy trousers and fun jewelry for a casual Friday. (NB: If you are on the bustier side, I sometimes use this delightful micro-stitch device to add a little extra coverage with tops like these.)

The top is $98 at Anthropologie and comes in sizes XS–XL.

Ann Taylor has a lower-priced option in straight and petite sizes for $64.50.

Hunting in general for blouses in pretty prints? As of 2024, some of the reader favorite brands include L’Agence, L’Amour Vert, Equipment, and Tucker NYC. On the more affordable side, check out NYDJ,* Halogen*, Loft,* and Kut from the Kloth. For plus sizes, check out Catherine Gee (and the asterisks)!
