Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Ashby Jacket

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

I was psyched when Kat pointed out that Nordstrom is now carrying Saint + Sofia online. (NB: The items ship directly from the brand, so there’s only a 90-day return window instead of Nordstrom’s more generous policy.) I’ve had good luck with some workwear basics from the brand in the past, and this jacket might be the latest addition to my collection.

I feel like I’m constantly pushing blazer sleeves out of my way, so I love a bracelet sleeve, and the beautiful pale blue color will go nicely with so many neutrals. 

The jacket is $249 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 2-18. It also comes in cream and a black-and-white pattern.

For something more affordable, try this jacket from Tahari ASL: straight sizes ($111 on sale at Nordstrom) and plus sizes ($159 full price at Nordstrom).

Looking for more pieces along these lines? Some of our latest favorite Chanel-style jackets for work in 2025 include these, but in general check more jacket-y options like Chanel, IRO, L’Agence, and Veronica Beard, as well as more sweater-y options like St. John, and ba&sh. J.Crew and Nic & Zoe offer a bunch of both kinds, in regular and plus sizes. On the budget side of things, check out CeCe, Tuckernuck (XXS-XXL), J.Crew Factory, and Mango. (Also check out our roundup of the best lady jackets for work!) Nordstrom has a bunch in all price points!
