Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This verdant floral top from Smythe is a gorgeous way to bring the outside in this summer. With the slightly billowy cut, I would try to pair it with a slimmer-fitting bottom, or at least a pair of trousers that would allow you tuck it in and create a little bit of shape.
Or maybe you could just be billowy. It’s almost summer. Go for it.
The top is $495 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes XS-XL; the brand has a lot of blouses in pretty prints right now!
Hunting in general for blouses in pretty prints? As of 2024, some of the reader favorite brands include L’Agence, L’Amour Vert, Equipment, Smythe, 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)!
