Spring wedding guest dressing this season is centered on color. The dresses leading right now feel saturated, intentional, and confidently tonal. There’s a clarity to the palette — shades that feel fresh in daylight and strong into the evening. These are the tones shaping wedding guest season now.

Yellow & Marigold – Ideal for garden ceremonies, vineyard receptions, and outdoor celebrations that unfold from afternoon into golden hour.

From soft butter yellow to saturated marigold and chartreuse, the palette carries beautifully in silk satin, sculpted crepe, and fluid draping. A strapless column, an elongated halter, or a cape-effect silhouette allows the shade to feel luminous and assured. Style with gold heels, a sculptural clutch, and statement earrings to enhance the warmth and clarity of the tone.

Pistachio & Forest  – Well suited for countryside estates, European destinations, and formal outdoor settings.

From airy pistachio and seafoam to olive and deep forest, green feels rich and elevated. Draped silk, fluid jersey, lace textures, and elongated silhouettes give the color presence and movement. Finish with bronze accents, textured leather, or brushed gold jewelry to complement its depth.

Teal & Slate – Perfect for coastal ceremonies, lakefront venues, and evening receptions by the water.

Teal, dusty blue, and soft slate hold depth and dimension, especially in bias-cut satin, chiffon, or sculpted jersey. Asymmetrical necklines, soft draping, and clean columns keep the focus on the tone. Pair with metallic sandals and refined accessories that highlight the cool clarity of the shade.

Pink & Coral – Strong for city black tie, museum venues, and celebrations that carry late into the night.

From vibrant coral and painterly florals to blush and saturated magenta, pink brings vibrancy and confidence. High-gloss satin, fringe texture, and fluid chiffon amplify the energy of the palette. A strapless bodice or defined neckline enhances the boldness of the hue. Finish with sleek heels and striking jewelry that complements the color’s intensity.

I think this Ann Taylor tee is a pretty top, and an easy way to add some polish to your weekend outfits.

Lace trim tops are actually trending right now — I noticed one over at WHBM a few days ago, Gap has a square-necked one, and it looks like Nordstrom has options from Madewell, Michael Stars (l/s), Generation Love, and a slightly fancier option from Boss. (Actually, it looks like Ann Taylor has a lot of iterations of the lace trim tee also.) (Much fancier, but this top from A.L.C. is gorgeous — and on sale!)

Of all those, though, this Ann Taylor one is among my favorites — I like the wide lace, the slightly longer sleeves, and the fact that it isn’t ribbed (for some reason, the lace trim ribbed tees look more like jammies?).

It was $64.50, but is now marked to $45; it comes in the navy pictured as well as a bright white in sizes XXS-XXL.

Sales of note for 3/2:

It feels like we somehow landed in March without much of an introduction. Thankfully, Charleston always delivers this time of year, with dreamy weather that makes it hard to stay indoors. We’ve been leaning into it where we can — lingering after school pick-up at the park or stretching out a little longer on the porch with popsicles in hand. Here’s a glimpse into my month ahead…

What We’re Doing

• Shopbop in Charleston. Shopbop is in town this week, which feels especially fun given how many great brands are making their way to Charleston this spring. They kicked off their King Street pop-up with cocktails last night with Veronica Beard, and it was a great almost-end to the week. You can shop my edit on their site here– I update it weekly!
• We have our first collaboration of 2026 launching at the end of the month, and we’ll be shooting it next week. Our team has been having a lot of fun pushing into new creative territory for this one, and I’m very excited to share more soon.
• Easter basket season. I say this every year, but I really do love Easter. It was always such a memorable holiday in our family, and I love carrying that forward with my own girls. We’re not doing anything major this year since life feels especially full at the moment, but I’ve started gathering a few basket fillers, like these, these, these, these, and these. These baskets are also so cute.
• A Coreli update. I’m forever singing the praises of Coreli. I’m so proud of what they’re building, and they’ve had two exciting updates recently: you can now upload your own imagery directly into your build, and they’ve also launched a referral program, so you can earn when you send someone their way.
• A new training routine. I’ve really enjoyed getting into weightlifting, but at the start of the year I told Thomas I was ready to take it a step further. As much as I love working out with him, I’m definitely more dependent on his guidance than I’d like to be, and I’m nowhere near as motivated at home. I just started private training at Basecamp, and I’m excited to build on everything I’ve learned so far.
• Spring break plans. Spring break is about a month away, and we’re heading to the new Potlatch Club in the Bahamas, designed by Amanda Lindroth, with some of our closest friends. I’m already looking forward to a little real rest. One of the best parts of this stage with our kids is that when they’re with friends, they’re genuinely so self-sufficient, which makes the whole trip feel far more relaxing for everyone.

What I’m Wearing

• A suede-and-crochet jacket I loved immediately. This suede-and-crochet jacket was an immediate yes for me. It’s just so good. I wore it last night over this Veronica Beard dress. Sea has consistently been one of my favorite collections in recent years.
• A chartreuse kitten-heel mule. I love a kitten-heel mule. It’s what I reach for almost anytime I want a little height in the evening. This satin chartreuse pair was an instant yes, and that heel is the best finishing touch.
• A tassel mini worn as a top. I’ll be wearing this green tassel mini as a top this spring.
• A brooch under $100. A chic brooch I recently picked up for under $100.
• Navy trousers are worth the wait. I had been patiently waiting for these navy trousers to come off pre-order. I love the lace scarf-waist detail — it feels especially right for spring.
• My custom Call It By Your Name bags. My Call It By Your Name bags finally arrived after a few patient weeks, and I’m so happy I went the custom route. I love the play of color.
• Silk mini shorts, back again. Silk mini shorts seem to be back again this spring, and Dôen got me with this green pair, which I’ll be wearing with this coordinating short sweater.
• Mother Denim with a relaxed Chanel jacket. These Mother Denim jeans have a very ’70s, slightly bohemian feel, but still read understated. I recently wore them here with a relaxed Chanel jacket, which is one of my favorite uniforms.
• A La DoubleJ favorite, now in poncho form. This La DoubleJ fringe top was one of my favorite pieces last fall, and one of yours too — it ended up being a bestseller for us. This fringe poncho version just launched, and it’s so good. I wore it this week with an old Dries Van Noten skirt and was stopped several times to ask about it.

What I’m Buying

• Two mini bags I love. This pink tassel mini bucket bag just arrived, and this Ganni floral version is also so good.
• A new pre-workout yogurt flavor. I eat Greek yogurt with added protein every morning before a workout, and I recently swapped my usual vanilla for this strawberry flavor. Total game changer.
• Feathers, always. Feathers always have a place in my closet, no matter the time of year. This piece is such a fun one, and the dress version is also amazing.
• Summer Fridays’ first perfume. I’ve always loved Summer Fridays, especially their newer lip combinations, but their first perfume — such a good vanilla — completely has my attention right now.
• A crochet cover-up for spring break. For spring break, I had to get this crochet cover-up, but I also think it will look so good worn over jeans. I’d pair it with this bag I bought last year for a more bohemian mood.
• A new highlighter. I ordered this highlighter after being completely sold by the reviews.
• Etro’s fringe bags. Etro has some of the best fringe bags this season. Just look at this one, this one, and this one.
• A Merlette dress I love every year. I love these loose, almost shapeless dresses by Merlette and tend to get one every year. I especially love how they styled it with this top layered over it for even more volume.
• What I’m loving for my girls this spring:
• Murano glasses for the house. I recently purchased these mixed-color Murano glasses and get endless compliments on them.
• A scarf detail for spring. I’ll be tying this around the waist of a simple white look this spring.
• A poolside staple. You’ll find me in this poolside all summer.
• Alaïa wedge mules in two great colors. These Alaïa wedge mules in chartreuse or turquoise feel like a must for spring.
• A very good green top. This Dries Van Noten top is very good.

What I’m Eyeing

• The Dior show. Is anyone else still thinking about the Dior show this week? It was breathtaking. Every detail felt so considered. The jackets completely stole the show for me, and I’ll be waiting impatiently to see what actually makes it into production. I also loved some of the Monet-inspired details, like the lily pad brooch and earrings, which could have tipped too far, but absolutely didn’t. Here and here.
• The shoes at Prada. Another recent runway detail I haven’t stopped thinking about: the shoes at Prada. So good.
• Prada this season. There are so many beautiful Prada pieces this season, but I’m especially drawn to this Peter Pan-collar leather jacket, this chartreuse skirt, and these pink crochet flats.
• A Zimmermann maxi dress. I can’t stop thinking about this Zimmermann tie-dye maxi dress.
• Chanel spring/summer. The new Chanel spring/summer collection drops next week, and I already have my eye on one of the new raffia fringe bags, this turquoise croc-effect tote, and this necklace.
• Lace-trim jeans. How amazing are these lace-trim wide-leg jeans?
• A dress on my spring wishlist. This dress is firmly on my spring wishlist.
• Animal print for spring. Animal print isn’t going anywhere this spring, and I’ve had my eye on this Bambi skirt and matching jacket.
• A colorful Kujten knit. This colorful fringe sweater is so good. I’m such a fan of Kujten.

PRADA, DOLCE & GABBANA, GUCCI, MOSCHINO and ROBERTO CAVALLI

The T-shirt of MOSCHINO’s Creative Director’s Warned, “Don’t Be Silent” as Black Confetti Rained Down from the Sky. From PRADA to DOLCE & GABBANA and ROBERTO CAVALLI, Designers Swore Allegiance to Sombre Black. There was No Grey Zone for Fall 2026/7…

Celebrities – from Uma Thurman to Monica Belucci, lined runway shows in Milan, at a point in time where complex issues in the global market and the fashion industry (not to mention a war) proved, shall we say, somewhat challenging.

Despite all that, designers tackled these issues with renewed creativity and ingenuity.

Monochromatic black – for reasons we can only speculate about – was the preferred (non) shade of choice for most, and seen through a dark lens, the beauty of these offerings was amplified, albeit somewhat muted.

Having said that, there were also many joyous flashes of colour in the collections.

This has been a thought-provoking season where brands and designers put their money where their mouths are, making a vocal statement not only about the state of fashion, but also that of the world.

We invite you to sit back and enjoy our picks from the Big Five in Italian fashion.

PRADA

Watch Prada’s Show here: https://milanofashionweek.cameramoda.it/en/brand/13331

Queen of minimalist layering, Miuccia Prada, stuck to her guns and delivered a story that is as intellectual, complex, perplexing and thought-provoking as it is pure joy.

Miuccia Prada explained that the idea was to illustrate “the complexity of layering … complexity, which exists in sentiment, in politics, in life, and that reflects in clothes. It’s about the necessity of changing for living all day. Different personalities, sentiments, sexualities, and this woman lives them together in a day or a life.” Raf Simons added that “It’s also how you dress, the clothes that you decide to have, how you decide to dress. What is possible? There’s another way and another way.”

Unlike the scores of models that brands of Prada’s stature would typically employ, Ms Prada and co-creative director Raf Simon deliberately reduced the cast to only 15.

Each model appeared four times, each time wearing a paired-down version of what came before, to illustrate the art of adaptation, of adding and taking away.

Gorgeous Palastinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid, for example, wore layers that got stripped away with each look, to respectively reveal a canvas jacket, a black coat, a white dress and sporty shorts. Her floral knee-high socks and pointy kitten heels remained a constant across each look.

Every look became a revelation. For example, a chunky jumper gave way to a body-hugging hourglass dress and a black frock revealed a knitted green sweater and pencil skirt.

The concept of layering was thoroughly explored: how we adapt to different situations by adding or subtracting a layer of clothing, how we vary the different layers for the many and varied roles we play every day and how we sometimes challenge ourselves by dressing outside of our comfort zone by means of addition or subtraction.

The ultimate cerebral designer, Miuccia Prada yet again left us pondering, musing and fantasising.

It may well be this uncanny quality of never taking fashion too seriously, of elevating everyday items of clothing to designer objects (it was the humble apron and workwear last season) that makes Prada the brand that is as generic and synonymous with Italian high fashion as the Duomo is to Milan.

DOLCE & GABBANA

Watch Dolce & Gabbana’s Show here: https://milanofashionweek.cameramoda.it/en/brand/13295

It was Fashion Noir at Dolce & Gabbana, a virtually all-black display of signature Dolce & Gabbana elements from over the past decades.

The offering shouted one thing above all: glamour!

A collection called ‘Identity’ delivered just that: beautifully tailored coats, jackets, transparent organza dresses, lace dresses and tops, all fashioned in the ultimate classic Dolce & Gabbana ‘non-colour’, black.

Visions of the signature Dolce & Gabbana icon, the irresistibly sensual Sicilian widow, inadvertently sprang to mind.

Floral puff sleeved frou-frou dresses, dramatic 1940s-inspired, nipped-in-the-waist pinstripe suits, leather coats with all-fur bodices and sleeves, and chevron-striped black-and-white faux fur coats rubbed shoulders with the flimsiest of transparent lacy skirts and satin petticoats.

Accessories like shawls and cute little mid-calf socks accompanied lace-up brogues and killer stilettos, to seriously seductive effect.

Chantilly lace, polka dots, the classic white satin shirt, underwear worn as outerwear, head scarves and the ultimate vixen accessory, pillar box red lips, added to the unmistakable Dolce & Gabbana look that we’ve come to know and love since 1989, when Dolce & Gabbana launched their iconic label.

Little has indeed changed over the decades. A look this strong and confident matures with grace and sensuality, just like the archetypal Dolce & Gabbana woman.

GUCCI

A collection aptly named “Primavera’ (Spring) was eagerly awaited by Gucci fans in Milan.

The brand had already undergone a few metamorphoses over the past decades, this time under the creative directorship of Demna, who stated, “above the product, Gucci is culture, it is a way of thinking and a way of being.”

As it stands, Gucci is that brand that everybody literally holds their breath for in eager anticipation of the new direction arguably the hippest of Italian brands will have embarked upon for the next season.

In previous seasons, Gucci’s brave eclecticism, grunge and retro vogue had been effortlessly married to classic Gucci elements (a sporty Adidas track top worn over a ballgown, for example). This sent us straight to our own closets to rediscover what’s lurking there and waiting to be upgraded with a purchase of new Gucci bag or embellished blazer.

Fall 2026/7 was a fun and energetic show, filled with exceedingly chiselled models ranging from the super slim to the totally buffed (who, in all fairness, would have looked stunning in a black PVC bin bag)!

A seemingly seamless, clingy white slip dress opened the show. Fur in all shapes and renditions, metallics, denim, leather, florals and animal prints clothed a bevy of extraordinary models, each evidently picked to portray a facet of the archetypal Gucci wearer.

The offering of a whopping 83 looks varied from ultra-sexy close-cut trousers, body-hugging dresses and super-tight jeans and slacks to more relaxed sportwear leggings and track pants worn underneath trench coats. There was even a romantic floral day dress in the mix!

The collection seems to have catered for the entire spectrum of Gucci lovers – provided you’re super slim and/or ultra-fit.

MOSCHINO

Maverick Italian brand Moschino, known for their epic story-telling collections, did just that again.

Creative director Adrian Appiolaza, gave a nod to his heritage and motherland of Argentina, but it was definitely not a case of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina!’! A T-shirt depicted Eva Peron and a sack full of churros hinted at Argentina, but a whole host of different characters and references also made an appearance on Appiolaza’s stage.

From dancers doing the tango to a bus driver, football fans and well-to-do society ladies – all were kitted out in quirky Moschino fashion.

Just like the founder of a brand that is so intimately synonymous with Italy, Franco Moschino (who was greatly inspired by his partner’s Spanish heritage – hence the oversized hoop earrings and polka dots that became a Moschino signature), Appiolaza also drew references from afar.

From the Olive Oyl cartoon character to the typical banker in a suit, a full repertoire of characters were on display, wearing from raw denim and patchwork frocks, wool dresses, quilted skirts and puffer jackets to South-American-inspired shawls, frills and indigenous weaves.

“The ethos of Moschino stems from joy, so I didn’t want to lose (that) sentiment. But I wanted to be also conscientious of the times that we live in,’’ the creative director stated.

A thought-provoking moment was engineered right at the end of the show when a model appeared with a globe-shaped handbag, a throwback to Franco Moschino’s archives, ‘Save Our Sphere’.

The tone of the show was as playful as ever, but a serious undertone came through loud and clear. Black confetti that rained down ominously during the finale and Appiolaza’s farewell bow saw him wearing a T-shirt that read, “Don’t be Silent”.

ROBERTO CAVALLI

Known over the decades for its glamorous, colourful silk chiffon animal prints, Roberto Cavalli, like many other brands, responded to the world around us for Fall 2026/7.

Creative director Fausto Puglisi had gone sombre – black, mostly, to be exact. “This time I wanted to design a collection that was New Romantic and dark. But this kind of dark is very festive, sensual feminine — and tough. You can still see Cavalli through the texture. You can see every Cavalli detail through this dark lens,” said Puglisi.

Every iteration of black was included in the offering, together with a few diversions into colour (which we’ve deliberately pounced on and illustrated below for the sake of old-times cheerfulness).

A dark filter had been placed over the previously colourful florals, just like the dark cloud hanging over the current world. Even the joyous animal prints had been muted.

Here and there a bit of brightness managed to peek out – the bell sleeves and frilled hems of the tiered dressed were dipped in some colour, with sleeves covering models’ hands, reminiscent of Morticia Adams in The Adams Family.

Grey – from dove grey to charcoal – was one of the ‘least black’ shades on display. Phew!

As for shapes – voluminous trousers, tutu skirts, sequinned mini-dresses, biker’s jackets and body-hugging flamenco-style ballgowns echoed the signature sexy Roberto Cavalli silhouettes.

Fashion is pure social commentary. It’s as clear as day that designers like Puglisi are using their brands and platforms to do just that.

Sure, we all know what wardrobe essentials for work professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.

There are a TON of great pull-on work pants out there right now, so I thought I’d round up some favorites.

Which are your favorite pull-on work pants for work? What pant is the best balance between comfort and polish for your career and situation?

{related: The Ultimate Guide to Business Casual for Women}

Why You Should Trust Us

At Corporette, we’ve been covering professional women’s workwear since 2008 and have written hundreds of posts about comfortable office clothing and shoes, business casual wardrobes, and reader-favorite brands for wardrobe essentials.

How We Chose The Best Pull-On Work Pants

For this roundup of the best pull-on work pants, we considered long-standing reader favorites, styles frequently recommended in the comments, and options our editors have tried over the years.

Reader Favorites for Pull-On Work Pants

{related: comfortable workwear for late nights}

Classic Dress Pants for Work (Many With Zippers)

As of 2026, we think the best work pants for women include longtime favorites such as Nic + Zoe, Theory, NYDJ, J.Crew, and M.M.LaFleur — as well as trendy brands like Spanx, and Favorite Daughter. For budget-friendly styles, check Quince, Old Navy, and Amazon seller Tapata.

Classic Plus-Size Pants for Work (Many With Zippers)

Great Pull-On Work Pants for 2026: A Closer Look

Let’s take a closer look at some of our recent favorites for pull-on work pants…

Nic & Zoe

Nic & Zoe’s Wonderstretch pants have been reader favorites for a while now — both in our “general work pants” roundup as well as here! They generally have a polished, crisp look but pull on styling. In recent years they’ve started varying the cut of the pants (in addition to the straight leg style they’ve had for years), adding pockets, and more. They also come in plus sizes!

Spanx

Spanx’s Perfect Pants have been reader favorites for years — and many of the styles are pull-on. Even nicer, they’re one of the few options these days where you can find plus-size petites (up to 3XP!).

The pants are generally $148-$168; keep an eye on both Nordstrom and Spanx.com for good sales. (Spanx.com may also have a wider range of colors!)

Theory

Ankle pants are still a solid choice in 2026 (and look great with loafers, as seen here). In any event, Theory’s best-selling Treeca pants have been around for years — and I love that a bunch of styles are pull-on. Another nice thing: if you’re looking for a fabric other than ponte, there are a ton of great options — at the moment they’re available in linen, wool flannel (one of our favorite fabrics for warm dress pants!), and triacetate (aka “admiral crepe”) — and you can find even more options on Theory.com.

Do pay attention to whether they’re a pull-on style when you’re ordering, though, if that’s what you want — “Pull On” should be in the product name.

The pants are generally $245-$275 full price; Theory and Nordstrom both have a number of Treeca pants on sale.

Along splurgey lines, readers also report that The Fold makes really comfortable pants with pull-on styles, but I’m not seeing any at the website at the moment.

M.M.LaFleur

Readers are big fans of MMLF pants in general (one called them “the bomb dot com”) — and a lot of their styles are pull on styles. A great example: their Origami tech travel fabric (one of our favorite travel-friendly suits!) comes in a bunch of colors including (new for 2026) this fun green. I love it for spring!

The reader favorite Foster pant is also a pull-on style.

Saint + Sofia

Hat tip to the readers for recommending this one — I didn’t realize that many of the Saint + Sofia pants are pull on styles! As one reader said, “I’m really liking the pants I have bought from Saint and Sofia. The fabrics are great quality and I find the cuts really flattering.”

You can find a number of their pants at Nordstrom, or also look at SaintandSofia.com.

Quince

Quince gets mixed reviews from readers, but if you’re looking for a pair of pull-on pants under $50 (especially in tall or petite sizes), there are great options.

Their ultra-stretch ponte bootcut pants are the main ones I’m thinking of here. They currently come in five colors, sizes XS-XL, in FOUR inseam lengths: 28, 30, 32, anfd 34 (so do check them out if you’re tall!). if you’re having problems finding petite or tall sizes, do check them out because they offer inseams from 28″-34″. (They also make a bunch of pull-on denim styles if you can wear jeans to work!)

Athleta

Readers love almost every pant from Athleta — we’ve had readers note that they wear the Brooklyn, the Pinnacle, and the Endless for work. One reader commented, “I bought the Athleta Endless High Rise Pant and wear them basically for every flight I take. The zippered pockets are clutch when travelling, and they’re professional enough (with a nicer top) to wear them on work travel!”

New for 2026: the Brooklyn now comes in a wide leg style, as well as the original ankle pant version — and both remain a pull-on style. Nice. Pants come in regular, plus, tall, and petite sizes (00-24, 00P-14P, and 0T-16T).

Not a fan of the fit on you? Readers have mentioned Vuori’s Miles pants as a good alternative. One said, “Otherwise for VERY comfortable but not super fancy pants, the Vuori Miles trouser is slightly thin but worked great for me for an all day conference I was running. They are clearly not wool but they are much nicer looking/less plastic feeling than other pants everyone recommends.”

Lululemon

I feel like we almost always have a favorite Lululemon pant amongst the readers — in 2026 it’s the Daydrift. As one reader said, “They are really comfy and easy to dress up a bit for a business casual office. Unlike the 3 pair of Spanx pants I’ve tried, the waist doesn’t feel like a vise grip. I am 5’5″ and wear the short length even though I have long’ish legs for my height. They come nearly to the floor. Regular length drags the floor.”

(As someone who’s 5’3, I always appreciate this info!)

Eileen Fisher

These Eileen Fisher pants are the OG reader favorite pull-on pants — readers used to call them “magic pants” because they felt like pajamas but looked like regular pants. Well well… They come in regular, petite, and plus sizes (and occasionally plus-size petites, as well), all for just under $200.

Readers, what are your favorite pull-on work pants?

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

I’m always on the lookout for work-appropriate tees that can be layered under cardigans and blazers, so this scalloped-neck version from T Tahari caught my eye. The neckline makes it feel just a little bit fancier than a crewneck and would look perfect under my favorite jardigan/swacket/sweater blazer.

I’d probably grab the black or white because I love a neutral, but it comes in five other colors, too. 

The shirt is $19.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes XS-XL.
