Promising review: "I always get compliments on this color! It’s the perfect basic top for an office setting. Not sheer and just not enough stretch." —Matthew B. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 28 colors). Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous and unbelievably soft — the kind of piece you look forward to wearing. The fit is true to size, and the cut makes it versatile enough for the office, weekends, or casual outings. The quality is top-notch, far beyond what I expected at this price point, and the size was perfect right out of the package." —Heather Cornejo Get it from M.M.LaFleur for $150+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). Promising review: "These are my new workhorse pants for office wear. Nothing fancy, but they're comfortable, they fit well, they're priced right." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 16–24, short lengths, and six colors). Promising review: "Super soft and well made. I get compliments every time I wear this shirt! I have rather large breasts, and it fits really well over top of them. Just an FYI for all of my big-busted girlies out there. I hang dry, so it keeps its shape very well after each use. The material is a little thick, so perfect for a cold office setting." —Shelia R. Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors). Promising review: "These truly are one of my favorite things to wear to work every day, and I have one of every color. (I think I'm missing like three or four colors, but they are amazing!) The durability is great; they wash up fabulously. Great for the value. Truly a must-have!" —Christy Hawkins Get it from Amazon for $58.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, XL Plus–5XL Plus, and 26 colors). Promising review: "Buy the dress!!! If you work in a professional environment or just want to dress up, this dress is for you. It has a slight stretch, unlike other tweed styles, so it will hug all your curves. I got so many compliments on it. It’s very comfortable and very stylish." —Jake/Shelby Arians Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors/styles). Promising review: "I cannot rave enough about these pants! They are so versatile, the quality is top-notch, amazing comfort, they launder so well, and run true to size. I have multiple pairs and wear them to work in an office. I will definitely be purchasing more. This brand has a large color selection to choose from. I cannot recommend these pants enough!" —Tennessee Shopper Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 19 colors). Promising review: "Elevates every work outfit! These are the cutest belts! I get the most wear out of the black, and it makes every pair of trousers look super chic and professional. The adjustable back is good for pants with different waists and is super comfy even after a big lunch! Also, I get compliments all the time, and some people even think it's designer, haha." —Amy S Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes, various colors, and packs of two). Promising review: "Love this dress. Bought it to wear to work and thought it would be great for the holidays with some tights and heels." —Lauren J. Get it from Meshki for $155 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and three colors). Promising review: "I have this top in the beige and the olive green color, and I love it! I’ve worn it to job interviews, work functions, church, and so many other things. I love it! Super versatile and well made!" —Rebecca Hendrix Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 12 colors). I recently rented this dress from Nuuly and am strongly considering buying it in a color I really love. It's wonderfully stretchy and comfortable. I went with my true size, though I could've sized down since the material offers decent stretch. (I have a small chest, so YMMV.) Ultimately, I think I prefer having that extra bit of movement and freedom, but if you really want the dress to cinch your waist, then you could opt for a size down. IMO, this dress is great for the office — it's a thicker material that is pretty wrinkle-resistant, so it doesn't look like a crinkled-up napkin when I stand up after a few hours typing away at my desk. It's also totally something I'd wear outside of the office casually with sneakers or for a dressier occasion with sandals or heels, so yes, it's expensive, but you can really get your money's worth. Get it from Anthropologie for $198 (available in sizes XXS–XL standard, XXS–XL petite, and 1X–3X plus). There's also a super-cute mini dress version! Promising review: "I am very satisfied with the shoes, the toes do not stick out of the shoes, they are quite comfortable, they are not high, so they are appropriate for working in the office or standing all day." —Mrs. Retamar Get it from Amazon for $33.24+ (available in sizes 5–11 standard, 7–10 wide, and 11 colors/styles). Promising review: "What can I say? The title said it's all. I absolutely love this skirt. I love the fabric; it's breathable, it's comfortable, and it looks amazing on me. It hugs without being too tight. Sometimes, skirts like this can be a little stiff up in the waist area, causing them to be so uncomfortable, but not this skirt. The fabric moves with you, making it so much more comfortable. And if you work in an office, and you have to wear suits and skirts all day long, that's a great find. Would love to order this in cream/beige." —Tara Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–5X and 31 colors). Promising review: "I love this. I bought it for a conference, so it works perfectly. Paired with a knee-length skirt, it gives sort of 1950s vibes. Also, IF YOU HAVE BROAD SHOULDERS, this fits fine, no pulling or puckering in weird spots." —Cari Get it from Amazon for $20.71+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors). Promising review: "Love this dress. Hourglass shape. It stretches to adjust to your body. Sexy and comfortable while looking professional. Love the ponte material." —Eloquii Customer Get it from Eloquii for $65.97 (available in sizes 14–32). Promising review: "Material is lightweight, durable, and it moves with you! Perfect shirt for working in the hospitality industry! I’ve bought two and will be buying more in additional colors." —Ashley Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 31 styles; this plus-size option is a great alternative without the pocket). Promising review: "I LOVE this too. So comfy and easy, but I feel super professional and put together when I wear it. True to size and does not gap between the buttons for me. This is a must-buy!" —BloomChic Customer Get it from BloomChic for $23.31 (originally $25.90; available in sizes M–6X and four colors). Promising review: "This is gorgeous. Elevates a pair of jeans and a casual jumper." —Katrina Get it from Boden for $260 (available in sizes 0–20/22 petite and standard sizes and three colors). Promising reviews: "Best thing in my wardrobe. This is my go-to office top. It’s super soft and stretchy!" —Karen Rodriguez "I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS BODYSUIT! This is the most comfortable body suit I have ever worn! I’ve now ordered it in white and tan because it is a perfect basic to have in your closet for any season! I paired it with jeans, but it would also look cute with slacks, shorts, or even a skirt! Super easy to dress up for work by throwing a blazer over it! Or even dressing it up for a night out on the town with some cute heels and jewelry! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!" —Melissa Edmunds Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 15 colors/styles, including fleece-lined and short and long sleeves). Promising review: "Absolutely love these. Wear them about 10 hours a day in a fast-paced office environment. Would highly recommend." —lysette couture Get them from Amazon for $34.19+ (available in sizes 5.5–13 standard, 6–13 wide, and 17 colors). Get them from Banana Republic Factory for $30 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors). Promising review: "I'm a 5'1.5" girl and have been STRUGGLING to find office pants that I haven't needed to get hemmed. I bought these in the XS short, and they fit like a dream!! So comfy. The waistband is very stretchy, and wearing these feels like wearing sweatpants. They are on the thinner side — I wouldn't wear them in winter without warmer leggings or something underneath, but for summer or autumn, they are perfect." —shalom Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, 1X–2X, short lengths, and 13 colors). Promising review: "I absolutely love the fit, the feel, and the look of this vest! I can dress it up for work or use it for evening wear. I will be buying more of these." —Liana Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 10 colors). Promising review: "The texture is gorgeous, and it is an incredible addition to my professional wardrobe. It can be worn alone for a casual look or paired with a cardigan or blazer. I prefer to wear it with high-waisted bottoms." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors). Promising reviews: "This dress is comfortable, and I think it will work well in both formal and less formal settings at work. It looks great with heels or flats, with or without a blazer, and is comfortable without revealing too much. I'd highly recommend it!" —Sarah "The lines, oh my. Simply a stunner of a dress." —Emily Get it from M.M.LaFleur for $379 (available in sizes 00–20 and also in navy). Promising review: "At last I can finally stop looking! After two years of searching, I have found the perfect pair of navy blue linen trousers; right length, right fit, and right style — perfect." —Susan Get them from Boden for $220 (available in sizes 0–20/22 standard, petite, and long and in six solid colors). Promising review: "This set is divine. Truly. The length of the pants works well if I wear high-heeled shoes. This is a very professional-looking set while also being wonderfully comfortable. Definitely recommend!" —caligander Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XL and six colors). Promising review: "I am obsessed with this jumpsuit. It is so light and airy and perfect for summer. You can wear it to work if you have a casual office, or it’s good for a day at the wineries or brunch." —stefanie brouwer Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors). Promising review: "This blouse is so soft and silky. It drapes beautifully and looks great with jeans or a skirt. I am pretty busty, and this shirt will fit comfortably without pulling on the buttons. I love the rich colors and the way that it hangs and has beautiful movement, hard to find for plus-sized girls." —Jann10 Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 16 Plus–26 Plus and 12 colors). * Plus-Size Fashion Pieces That Are Very Cute And Won’t Break Your Budget * Affordable Fashion Items That’ll Have You Oozing ~Chic~ Vibes * If You Want To Be Considered The Best Dressed At Work, Here Are 27 Fashion Pieces For The Office * Cozy Pieces Of Clothing If Comfort Is Your Main Priority * Frugal Fashion Finds No One Will Believe Are From Amazon * If You Hate Hate Hate Jeans Shopping, Here Are 20 Pairs — And One Of Them Might Just Be For You * Basics From Amazon If You’re Tired Of Trying To Figure Out What “Goes Together” * Cute Lounge Pieces So You Can Romanticize Staying Indoors All Day * If You Hate Getting Compliments, Don’t Buy Any Of The 27 Pieces Of Clothing In This Post Plus, comfy fitness clothing, dresses to wear to a spring wedding, big bust-friendly bras and wedding lingerie, versatile dresses, and finds from Abercrombie, Aerie, Anthropologie, Athleta, Banana Republic Factory, Bare Necessities, Everlane, Free People, Gap Factory, J.Crew, Lands' End, Lane Bryant, Loft, Lulus, Madewell, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Quince, Torrid, and Walmart.
