Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
I can already tell that one of my go-to summer office outfits this year is going to be a short-sleeved sweater with a voluminous skirt. I have a number of crewneck pullovers on deck, but this cardigan from Ann Taylor would be a great addition to the rotation. You can style it buttoned-up or layered over a coordinating top for an updated twinset look.
This pale pink color isn’t something I would normally gravitate to, but for some reason it really caught my eye. If pink isn’t your thing, the cardigan also comes in two other lovely pastels, along with black, navy, and “baguette.”
The sweater is on sale for $50.70 (marked down from $84.50) at Ann Taylor and comes in sizes XXS-XXL and XXSP-XLP.
