Whether you’re working from home, in the office or both, you’re for sure not wearing the same work clothes you wore three years ago before the pandemic. Your wardrobe needs a refresh, right? That means finding work clothes that are comfortable, good-looking and flexible enough to take you from the workday to happy hour.

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.

Pieces are more on the casual side, with tie-front tops and cut-out blouses, and the style leans toward younger wearers.
