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

I saw a lot of chocolate brown this fall and winter, but these sailor-style trousers from Sézane feel a little bit more spring-y to me. They come in six other colors, including a denim, but I thought this medium brown would pair nicely with a warm-colored floral top for a fun spring look.

If you want to go full-on French girl, this linen top from Sézane would be a great choice to pair with the pants.

The trousers are $180 and come in sizes 0-16.

A couple of more affordable options are from Banana Republic ($72 on sale; 0-20) and Macy’s ($52 on sale, XS-XL).

Looking for an entire suit? As of 2025, some of our favorite brownish suits for women include this brown paisley from Brooks Brothers. (For plus sizes, there aren’t any great options at the moment; Woman Within has a double-breasted brown check suit, as well as a single-breasted brown suit.)
