Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

After an absolutely brutal winter, there are signs of spring in the Northeast. I’m taking advantage of it by breaking out all of my favorite work dresses and perhaps adding a few more to my collection.

I might add a belt to this striped shirtdress from Max Studio, but it otherwise looks perfect for an easy breezy business casual day. 

The dress is $39.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes XS-XL.

Chartreuse sits between green and yellow, with a brightness that immediately shifts a look. It carries a certain clarity—vivid, expressive, and surprisingly versatile.

As a full look:
Worn head-to-toe, it reads as a confident statement. A satiny dress, a tailored set, or a tonal pairing of skirt and sandal creates a clean, uninterrupted line that lets the color speak for itself.

Through individual pieces:
A single addition—a satin skirt, a lightweight jacket, a knit—introduces a fresh element to an otherwise neutral outfit. It pairs naturally with white, cream, denim, and softer earth tones.

In detail and finish:
Beading, lace  taffeta, and a subtle sheen add depth, giving each piece its own character within the same palette.

Accessories that carry it:
Ballerina flats, an embroidered bag, and tinted sunglasses offer a lighter way in, adding interest without shifting the entire look.

The extraordinary Philip Bloch is carving out a powerful legacy with his fashion label, “Omniscient Things.” After presenting twice this year during New York Fashion Week, Bloch continues to solidify his status as a fashion icon committed to making style accessible to the masses.

For his NYFW debut, Bloch was invited to stage a flash fashion show at Terminal 2 of LaGuardia Airport. He gathered his crew, with bags of clothes and rolling racks at the crack of dawn for a sensational airport takeover. It wasn’t just your typical runway show, but instead Philip combined travel wear with high fashion to bring jet setters the chicest attire. 

“We had models dressed in great outfits as they came down the escalator and into the luggage area while flights were arriving, and a violinist playing in the background,” expressed Bloch.

Only Bloch who is renowned for creating fashion spectacles, could transform an international airport into a global runway moment, and he didn’t disappoint. The craftsmanship of each of his Omniscient Things sweaters were perhaps a testament of his exceptional eye for fashion.

He used a variety of fabrics, embellishments and technical elements like beaded fringe, and studs to create beautiful statement pieces that left travelers in awe. But Bloch proved that his designs go far beyond just luxurious materials like cashmere, and silk during his second NYFW show.

Philip showed fashion enthusiasts that his designs embody a deeper purpose during his presentation at Baci Studio beneath the Manhattan Bridge. After taking over the LaGuardia Airport with his stellar designs, he turned around to offer hope and unity in an increasingly divisive political climate.

As a longtime advocate for inclusion and global change, Bloch—who made history as the first fashion editor of Vibe magazine has always been deeply attuned to politics. Through his platform as a celebrity stylist and designer, he continues to focus on amplifying meaningful messages through fashion.

Models sashayed down the runway inside of Baci Studios carrying signs with quotes from influential celebrity figures who have taken a stand for justice and unity. One poster board read: “Everyone is our neighbor no matter what race, creed or color — Queen Elizabeth II.”

For a powerful opening moment, Bloch invited his friend and fellow CNN contributor Judge Glenda Hatchett to open the show. She appeared in a white tribute T-shirt featuring a photo of Renee Good, a 37-year-old American woman who was fatally killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

“I was honored to participate in Philip’s fashion show during NYFW,” Hatchett said. “It combines three things that are very important to me: the law, constitutional rights, and fashion.”

“I found myself conflicted and haunted creatively,” Bloch shared. “I could not ignore the graphic images of winter protests steeped in brutality, nor the senseless and horrifying murders of kindred, peace-loving spirits like Renee Good and Alex Peratti that flooded my social media feeds. I was torn between these images of cruel social injustice and the task of presenting this collection.”

Each of Bloch’s garments were mesmerizing, and rich in detail. From a forest green button up cardigan adorned with metallic floral fabric to the intricate use of tweed, the collection was both intentional and thought-provoking with a clear message that went beyond the runway.

Even after years of leaving his mark on the fashion industry, Philip Bloch is still redefining what it means to leave a lasting impact. His ability to create beautiful pieces with purpose-driven and courageous messaging challenges the status quo and as a cultural figure his forward-thinking is exactly the catalyst for change we need in fashion, especially during a pivotal time like now.

Ooh: I love this walkable Mary Jane pump from Jimmy Choo.

For some reason I can see this looking particularly great with cropped pants — I am seeing a specific outfit in my mind right now but no idea where it’s from (movie? TV?), but there are plaid pants involved. I think it would also be a great nude-for-you heel.

The pearl detail on the strap does give me pause, but I think it’s subtle enough that it can work for the office.

The shoe is $875 and available in two colors at Nordstrom; there is also a sister slingback pump. At JimmyChoo.com they also have a mesh version of the pump, which I can see being chic for more special events, as well as two lace-covered ballerina flats. Nice.

Looking for something (slightly) more affordable? This Mary Jane pump from Margaux is lovely.

Romantic boho is rooted in a sense of ease and individuality—clothing that feels expressive, feminine, and thoughtfully constructed. It’s defined by fluid shapes, artisanal detail, and natural materials that create a look that feels collected over time.

Designers like Zimmermann, Alemais, Etro, and Doen approach this aesthetic through soft tailoring, intricate finishes, and pieces that carry movement. You’ll see elements like fine embroidery, airy fabrics, layered prints, and hand-worked textures that give each piece a distinct point of view.

Begin with a fluid silhouette
Maxi dresses, tiered midis, and softly shaped minis form the foundation. Fabrics like cotton voile, gauze, and silk blends allow for movement while maintaining structure. A printed or detailed dress naturally anchors the outfit.

Focus on crafted detail
Pintucks, lace insets, stitched motifs, and subtle embellishments add interest in a considered way. These are the details that give the pieces presence without requiring additional styling.

Accessories feel tactile and collected
Woven bags and slides, crochet sandals, beaded necklaces, and silk scarves complement the clothing without overpowering it. These elements reinforce the natural, textural quality of the style.

Here’s a vitally important question for you: what are your favorite T-shirts for the weekend? (If you’re not wearing tees, what ARE you wearing instead?) As we had into summer, inquiring minds want to know!

(Me, I’m the inquiring mind.)

My favorite T-shirt for years was Caslon’s U-neck, which fit pretty similarly to the T-shirt in the stock photo. But they stopped making it, alas. They still have a V-neck, but the fabric seems to have changed a lot. Others that I also used to love have also changed or gotten harder to find, like Madewell’s Whisper tees… and of course the OG Everlane tees haven’t been the same in years.

In truth, I have an overflowing drawer with T-shirts largely in black. I’ve tried and liked a lot over the past few years — but I haven’t found one that is my ride or die. So I’m curious: what are your favorite T-shirts to stock up on as we head into spring? Which ones are you happy to pull out from previous years? Are there ones you always recommend to friends?

(We just updated our roundup of the best opaque white T-shirts for work yesterday!)

Casual, Weekend T-Shirts I’ve Tried in the Past Few Years…

• J.Crew Factory’s slub T-shirts (I don’t mind but a bit too thin) (I’m 90% sure I’ve got mostly the Essential tee, but I have at least one Girlfriend tee and dislike the neckline)
• Eileen Fisher T-shirts — I mostly have these in colors that I bought on sale — I like them but wear them less because they’re very colorful; I also wish they were a bit heavier weight
• Talbots Pima (nice thickness but a bit too clingy unless I really go up in size, which is no fun, and then they don’t fit quite right) — ditto for Pact and American Giant (I treated myself while buying my husband some new hoodies from there — highly recommend if you or a loved one is a fan of hoodies)
• Banana Republic Factory’s Timeless tees – I like these a lot, but is it just me or do they seem to get holes incredibly quickly?
• Old Navy’s tees — I feel like the vintage tees are too boxy, and if I remember correctly the Everwear tees have been inconsistent in terms of fabric and sizing
• Frame – like the weight and fit but I wish it were longer — so I’ve stayed away from other popular ones like Uniqlo, COS, and Leset.

I know, I am the Goldilocks of T-shirts. I want something comfortably loose that still looks polished enough to wear under a cardigan, sweater jacket or blazer… that isn’t too thin… that is ideally 100% cotton…

Readers, what are your favorite T-shirts for the weekend? Which ones are weekend only, and which can you layer under a cardigan or blazer for work? Does your answer change depending on what you’re wearing them with (e.g., high rise jeans, wide-leg pants, skort or shorts, maxi skirt…)?
