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

I know, I know, this dress from Banana Republic is a lot of look, but I saw it in person recently and I can’t stop thinking about it, so here we are. Is a barrel shirtdress going to be appropriate for every office? Probably not. But if this is your vibe, it’s so, so good. The green color is so vibrant and the cut is so perfect. It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, you’re going to love it.

The dress is $180 at Banana Republic and comes in sizes XS-XL. It also comes in navy.
