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

This dress from Universal Standard is what I want to live in from June through September. The short sleeves and light fabric keep things cool, but the tie belt still gives me a little bit of a shape. If you work in an office where more than 50% of the people are wearing suits on any given day, this might be a little too casual, but I think it would be totally acceptable in most of the offices I’ve been spending time in lately.

I would wear this with the Mary Janes from Rothy’s that seem to be my go-to shoe for every occasion this season. 

The dress is $148 at Universal Standard and comes in sizes equivalent to 00-40. It’s also available in nine other stripes and solids.

The best print mixing isn’t always instinctual. It comes down to a few styling tricks I’ve honed over the years, and none of them are about piling on as many patterns as possible. It is about using print in separate pieces that sharpen one another. A dot can make paisley feel less boho, embroidered florals can bring dimension to prints in the same tone, and an unexpected accessory that just peeks out can push the whole look somewhere more interesting.

If you are hesitant to mix prints, start by looking for one element that ties your pieces together. It might be a shared color palette, a similar scale, or simply a mood that runs through each piece. Once that connection is there, the outfit can handle far more than you might expect.

This look came together almost by accident. Paris turned cooler than I planned, so I reached for pieces I hadn’t planned to wear together, and found I loved the way it all played off itself. The finished look has depth and individuality, especially when pieces come together in a way that feels slightly unexpected.

I mentioned this in our big roundup on the Amazon Prime Day sales — but Away luggage is included in the sale this year, including some exclusive colors like sky blue and bright green.

Readers have been big fans of the brand for years, and I can’t remember seeing it on sale at Amazon (or anywhere, really). The brand features a “patented dual-buckle compression panel” to fit more in with every trip, as well as smooth-rolling spinner wheels and LifetimeCare Coverage.

The pictured Bigger Carry On was $295, but is now marked to $236 (and other colors are marked to $250).

We’ve discussed this in the past, but not in a while. Do you wear tank tops to work on their own, or only as a layer beneath a blazer or sweater? What are the rules about tank tops?

We’ve discussed sleeveless tops a lot as well as bare arms at work — they both used to be a lot more controversial than they are today!

As a general point to start — note that if you’re wearing a sleeved top to work, not only is there no question whether it’s acceptable at your workplace, but you can also save on drycleaning costs for toppers like blazers, sweater jackets, and cardigans.

Tank Tops I Would Wear to Work

In general, you can wear ANY tank top to work — as a layer. The only tank tops that I would wear by themselves, though, have these qualities:

• the tank top hides your bra straps
• the tank top doesn’t require a special bra
• the tank top doesn’t leave any unusual exposed skin (lower belly, lower back, etc)

Some great tank tops that I noticed looking around the web…

Tank Tops I Would SaVE For the Weekend

For my $.02, I would know my office really really well before wearing these by themselves — but they’re great for the weekend.

• tanks with chest pockets
• tanks with thick ribbing at the edges (something about it just looks so “underwear” in a chic way on the weekend, but not so much during the workweek)
• tank tops with arm holes that curve in to make your armpit even more exposed (especially with a halter top but even with some of the more common ones like the striped one below)
• has only thin spaghetti straps for the shoulder (meaning your bra will be exposed)

Great for the Weekend, but Know Your Office Before Wearing to Work

What to Get in the June 2026 Prime Day Sales

Quick Notes / Reader Favorites

• Shark hair products – Whether you’re considering upgrading from the Revlon blowdry brush or just want a really powerful hair dryer, the Shark Flex Style is a reader favorite. I’ve had an older version of the dryer (HyperAIR) since 2022 and I love it — it is so fast and still holds up great. The dryer and hair styling products are both in the sale. There are also some good deals on Dyson hair dryers!
• Lots of great skincare from Dr.Jart+, COSRX, Obagi Medical, Kiehl’s, Paula’s Choice, Sunday Riley, Elemis, and Mario Badescu, as well as sunscreen deals from EltaMD, Supergoop! and La Roche Posay; I’m also giving this Innisfree Korean sunscreen a try
• Nice selection of luxury beauty like Charlotte Tilbury, Londontown, bareMinerals, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, IT Cosmetics, Lancôme, Milk Makeup, Tarte, and TooFaced — and I haven’t seen Thrive Causmetics or GEN SEE in the sales before!
• Nice weekend clothing deals from Z Supply, AllSaints, Gap, Levi’s, AG, NYDJ, Kut from the Kloth, Paige, and Democracy (and I love these Sweaty Betty sweatshirts!)
• Great luggage deals from Away and TravelPro, as well as other lightweight bags from Bellroy and Baggallini
• There are also a few deals from smaller brands readers love such as Lilysilk, Rothy’s and Vivaia
• Good workwear deals from big brands like Calvin Klein, NYDJ, and Maggy London,
• Workwear deals from Amazon sellers readers have liked for workwear, including Tapata (pants in 5 lengths!), dresses from PrettyGarden, Merokeety, and Grace Karin, as well as the best selling Cicy Bell blazer
• Another note: big deals on Peloton and Hydrow, with $100s off bikes, rowers, treadmills, and more
• Good drugstore-type beauty deals from L’Oreal Paris, OPI, and Zoya
• Kid-friendly deals on Crocs, Native shoes, as well as strollers from Graco, Evenflo, Baby Trend, and Chicco
• Also of note: if you’ve been looking to add a walking pad or under-desk treadmill to your home office, there are some great sales, including on this reader-recommended one — also some weighted vests. I have this one (12 lbs) and it does add a nice challenge to a walk.
