Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Elbow-Sleeve Square-Neck Dress in Seasonless Stretch

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

I have often used the week between Christmas and New Year’s to clean out my closet. (Thrilling, I know!) I get rid of anything that hasn’t been worn that year or is looking a little worse-for-wear, and try to identify any gaps that need to be filled. After a preliminary glance, I know that I’m going to be looking for a basic black sheath to replace some of my old standbys.

This short-sleeved dress from Ann Taylor looks like it could be a contender, especially at this price. I like the square neck and elbow-length sleeves, which can easily be worn with or without a topper. 

The dress is $159 at Ann Taylor and comes in sizes 00-18 and 00P-16P. It also comes in navy and charcoal. 

P.S. Happy New Year!
