1. Paper-light cotton trousers perfect for wearing to the office with a cute button-down blouse.
Promising review: "I went up a size, but these run a little big so I should’ve stayed with the recommended size. I love them and have worn them several times anyway. I might just get a smaller pair in a different color. Great for a casual work environment in the summer weather." —Marcy B
Get it from Amazon for $19.50+ (available in sizes 0–22 and 13 colors).
2. A timeless poplin button-down you can always count on to style well with slacks.
Promising review: "This beautiful shirt is stylish and simple at the same time. It can be worn casually or put together nicely for work with pants or skirt. It did not disappoint, and I felt comfortable with the fabric and fit. I plan to order more." —Lopester

3. Or a button-down blouse with two front pockets in a lightweight fabric that won't feel super constricting and can be worn with tons of outfits.
Promising review: "I’ve been looking for light gray button-down collared shirts for work. As it turns out, they are very hard to find. This shirt was a great find! It looks good right out of the dryer and feels so comfortable. I ordered a large because I like my shirts roomy and I despise a shirt that looks like it’s straining to cover my chest. This one hits all my marks! Love it! I will be ordering more!" —LindaP

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 19 colors).

5. A ruffled sleeve pleated-skirt dress that's just begging to be twirled in. Grab your fave handbag and a pair of booties and you're set.
Promising review: "I love this dress! I bought it to wear to an outdoor bridal shower and it was perfect! I love it because I can also use it as a work outfit! It is so comfortable! I purchased the green and it’s a beautiful color! I want to purchase more colors for work so I can look great and feel comfortable all day!" —Kimberly Sakelarios
Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors).
6. A midi sundress so you'll have a new BFF for your plethora of cardigans.
Promising reviews: "The material of the dress is very soft. It feels heavy, but it’s very breezy and cool (worn in summer heat and humidity). The thickness made me more confident that it wasn’t see-through. The adjustable straps are great, and the smocked back makes the top a comfy fit (I am about a 38B). I am a little over five feet tall, and the dress hits about mid-calf. It could be hemmed up a little bit, but the length is modest and makes it more work appropriate (with a cardigan). I wasn’t sure about the pocket placement, but I found myself utilizing them throughout the day. I’m tempted to get another color." —Kara
"Found this dress through a BuzzFeed article and couldn't resist the white sunflowers. The material is stretchy and just fits your body so well. I didn't have any problems with it being see through. The length is cute, the buttons are fake so they stay uniform all the way down, and it's stretchy across the back of the bodice so bigger-chested people would love this. My mom and I have completely different body types and the large fits us both amazingly! Definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark
Get it from Amazon for $31.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 36 styles and colors).
Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing it!
7. A chunky cardigan that's super versatile — and by versatile, we mean it can be your choice of at-home loungewear, and obvi as a layering piece for work.
Promising reviews: "Very cute sweater! I love the color, it's not too beige. Looks cute with jeans and can be dressy/casual with the right pants for work." —Purchaser
"I love this neutral taupe heathery color. It’s so much prettier in person. The material is very nice, not too heavy, not too light." —Ron Y.
Get it from Amazon for $49.90+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in four colors).
Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing it!
8. A flared skirt if your outfit options are lacking in the "twirl department." This skirt is twirlworthy and will make you feel like a million bucks.
Pay attention to the numbers on the waistbands as they are different!
Promising review: "I love this skirt! I have now washed it twice on the gentle cycle and hung to dry. It turns out perfect. This skirt can be part of a work wardrobe or made sexy for a date. The wide waist band can be folded over when wearing (I put a belt over that) to make the skirt a bit shorter if you like a flirty look." —WomanInBell
Get it from Amazon for $9.62+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 43 colors).
9. A houndstooth sweater vest perfect for styling over a basic white shirt and pair of slacks.
Promising reviews: "I’m actually wearing this today at work with a white blouse and slim black pants. I always get compliments on how sharp it looks. I wear it under a black jacket" —Michele Daigle
"I’ve been looking for this kind of sweater vest forever and I finally found the one. I’m very happy with this purchase. The quality is great and the fabric is very thick and heavy. It might sit a little large on me so I would probably exchange for a smaller size. Great for fall/winter. I would recommend pairing it with a white button-down for a chic look." —Annn Studio
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 18 colors).
Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing it!

Promising review: "I’ve bought a couple of these skirts and I adore them!! They’re comfortable, cute, and perfect for work or just going out to lunch or something." —Nola

11. A sleek plaid bodycon dress one reviewer notes gives off major Mad Men vibes and we couldn't agree more. This dress looks like you're ready to accept your most recent promotion like a superstar.
Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite work dresses of all time! I feel like Joan from Mad Men every time I wear it. I get compliments every time. This dress looks even better with a skinny belt, and the mock turtleneck collar is an elegant detail that pulls it all together. The fabric is stretchy enough to hug your curves, but not cheap looking. It's thin enough to be comfortable, lightweight, and breathable, while still being opaque and good quality. Oh, and it doesn't wrinkle!! I'm usually a size US 14/16, and the 2XL fits me like a glove." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL Plus and in 14 colors and prints).
12. A flowy pair of palazzo pants since no one wants to sit at a desk all day wearing pants that are just too tight. These can balance out a more formfitting top and still look biz casual.
Promising reviews: "I’m so impressed by these! The quality is amazing. I love the material. Not sheer at all and super comfortable. I purchased to wear for work, but would be super cute dressed up with heels and a bodysuit for a night out. I’ll be ordering in more colors as they are already a staple in my work wardrobe! I purchased the color mocha first and it’s exactly like in the photos — kind of a warm gray color. Highly recommend." —Skylar T.
"I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them.) These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in sizes XS–2X and 32 styles).
13. A classic blazer that can be styled over loads of outfits, from dresses to button downs to tees. You'll probs end up ordering this in numerous colors.
Promising review: "This blazer dresses up and dresses down for work and after-work functions. It’s trendy and comfortable. I have a petite frame and it’s structured enough to not swallow me up or appear that I’m wearing something too big from someone else’s closet. The quality is in line or better than what you would expect for the blazer cost. I would get this in multiple colors." —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $69.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and seven colors).

"WOW! This blazer is incredible! It is not stiff like business blazers; it is actually really soft and moves easily. I really like how it is not really heavy and won’t overheat you. It hit just below my rear. I really am happy with my purchase, and I recommend wearing this in the spring or on windy days." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and seven colors).

Get it from Amazon for $24.19+ (available in sizes S–XL and eight colors).
19. A vintage-inspired sheer panel dress for a more elevated dress option that feels a tad fancier than your usual go-to work 'fits.
Promising review: "I’m so glad I bought this dress! I received so many compliments. It fits beautifully. I was a little bit worried because when I first tried it on the sheer part at the top was itchy and uncomfortable, but after washing it with fabric softener it was perfect! I wore it to work all day and was super comfortable. The pockets are such a great bonus too!" —Carly Ransom
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes 2–20 Plus and 10 colors).

"This dress is absolute perfection! I purchased for a Texas game day brunch — good burnt orange is hard to come by. The fit was impeccable — flowy without looking ill-fitting, and hit me just above the knee (I'm 5'3"). I wore with cowboy boots and loved that I could chase my toddler around while still looking cute in this dress. The fabric is just thick enough to lay smooth and not cling, while not being heavy. Not see through at all. The balloon sleeves are EVERYTHING. Going to buy in more colors right now!" —FitGirlInFlight

22. A ruffled-sleeve tee in case you're ready to zhuzh up your top game from basic white tees to something fun and fresh. These flutter sleeves should do the trick.
Promising review: "I saw this top and was on the fence. It is more of a T-shirt quality material and I was looking for something I could wear to work as a nurse practitioner. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! I’m glad I am a woman who loves Amazon clothes. Their return policy makes me say, TRY IT!! The sleeves make this a super feminine top without being too much. Top fits perfectly over my larger bust and is fits well everywhere else. SIZE CHART IS SPOT ON AND I ALWAYS PICK SIZE BASED ON IT." —T Germany

Promising review: "I didn’t expect to fall in love with this skirt. It’s my very first one since I was like 8 years old? I decided to buy some clothing that fit my work and lifestyle. I absolutely love the outfits I pull together with this skirt. I bought the black one with daisies and I will be buying more. The waist has a stretch band so if I were bloated it would still fit well. The skirt is also not see through. Wonderful staple!" —precious zuniga
