9 Affordable Places Women Actually Buy Work Clothes

January 21, 2021 admin Fashion 0

There’s no doubt that the past year has changed our perception of “office dressing” with many of us now working from home due to the unprecedented pandemic. Of course, there are still many who have to go to a physical workplace, so with that in mind, (along with the hope that this year brings us back to the workplace safely), we wanted to share some of the best online stores to buy business casual work clothes that are actually affordable (even if they do lean more casual these days).

At Who What Wear, we’ve found that one of the best resources for a refresh is from our cool and creative readers, which is why we tapped our Who What Wear Insiders Facebook group to get their insight as to wear to shop for work.

Below, you’ll find a breakdown from women who work across different industries and encounter dress codes that range from techie-relaxed (think jeans and hoodies) to ultra-formal (we’re looking at you, lawyers). Armed with the insider shopping knowledge from other women who have been deep in the work-dressing doldrums, you’ll have a little spark to help inspire your Monday-to-Friday dressing. So check out their takes on the best stores to buy work clothes—and what to keep an eye out for at each.
