It’s also about your personal style. Simple or loud, your fashion is a part of what makes you, you. You can go to any old department store and find a shirt and jacket, but your clothes should reflect who you are. What they shouldn’t be is in your closet just to make sure you’re following the office dress code.
If you don’t want to go to a store in-person, online retailers have plenty of selections. The return policy is also important—shopping for clothes is hard enough and they need to be easy to return. We’ve kept these qualities and more in mind while compiling this list: Read on for the 11 best places to find work clothes.
1. Asos
Our favorite piece right now: White abstract print shirt—$30
Sizes: XSS-L
Prices: $

Asos keeps up with the trends: You’ll find things like wrap dresses, wide-legged pants and jumpsuits. This retailer is inexpensive and has a 28-day free return policy. In its online selection, you’ll find a plethora of button-up shirts with interesting prints and extended sizing that shows off your curves. Its prints make casual slip-on loafers stand out—even when your feet are tucked beneath your desk at home. Asos’s selection is easy to double-up your outfit for work and play.
2. Nordstrom
Our favorite piece right now: The Perfect Pant skinny ankle pants—$148

If you get overwhelmed with options, Nordstrom puts together outfits on its site based on current fashion trends.

Women's options range from Halogen to BP and Burberry. Its average prices give you more bang for your buck since reviewers find the quality across pieces to be long-lasting.
3. Uniqlo
Our favorite piece right now: Slim-fit chino pants—$40

Uniqlo is known for simple fashion and high-quality clothing. The Japanese retailer has clothing that will become your go-to pieces, whether it’s your essential little black dress or favorite dress shirt. Its workwear specifically focuses on comfort with pieces like loose-fitting cotton tops. You won’t get many zany patterns from Uniqlo, but rather dependable solid-colored clothing that’ll be your workhorse and suit any combination outfit.
4. Everlane
Our favorite piece right now: The Linen Workwear dress—$88
Sizes: XXS-XL
Prices: $$$

Everlane might be the ultimate retailer for sleek simplicity. Although its clothing is on the expensive side, the quality is excellent, and you can still snag cashmere sweaters at reasonable prices. You’ll also find blazers with ‘80s flare and traditional fits in herringbone and plaid; dress shirts are breezy in materials like silk and cotton. If you have the option to wear more casual workwear, Everlane’s shoe selection includes desert boots and simple trainers that’ll suit even work slacks.
5. Saks Fifth Avenue
Our favorite piece right now: Polo Ralph Lauren cashmere crewneck sweater—$348
Sizes: 0-16
Prices: $$$$$
Return/Exchange Policy: 30 days
Perhaps you have some extra money to shell out—stop by Saks Fifth Avenue for high-quality designer pieces that last a lifetime. You’ll need to spend a pretty penny for new collections; its sale section, however, has items under $100. Saks Fifth Avenue carries clothing from Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and LaQuan Smith that come right off the runway and make for show-stopping work clothes.
6. Ann Taylor
Our favorite piece right now: Essential Shirt—$70

Ann Taylor has classic work clothes like houndstooth blazers and pleated skirts. These pieces are in the price range for women who are trying to budget but still want something durable. (You won’t find men’s clothing here, however, as Ann Taylor solely focuses on women’s clothing.) There are tons of classic looks that stand the test of time: think plaid skirts, boatneck blouses and striped dresses. If you’re looking for the perfect pump for the workplace, Ann Taylor has a wide selection of kitten heels, block shoes and low-height pumps.
7. Lulus
Our favorite piece right now: Westwood black half-sleeve sheath dress—$59

Lulus is known for its amazing sales and stylish clothing for women. Its selection is easy on the wallet, but reviewers have said that the quality can be hit or miss—we recommend checking out reviews and photos before buying. Pieces are more on the casual side, with tie-front tops and cut-out blouses, and the style leans toward younger wearers. However, the designs Lulus offers can personalize your wardrobe for a fashionista’s taste.

Tops are simple and elegant, and the two-piece dresses look quaint and lovely. With a wide size selection, there is something for everyone.
