Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Nico Cardigan in Cotton

This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

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

Sometimes you just need a cozy cardigan to bundle up in, and this chunky, knit version from Alex Mill is a fan favorite. It’s designed to hit right at the hip, so it will pair nicely with pants, skirts, or dresses.

I would keep this one as a back-of-the-chair sweater that can be tossed over anything on a chilly day or a long night. 

The sweater is $165 at Alex Mill and comes in sizes XS-XXL. It also comes in six other colors.

Some of our latest favorite lady jackets for work include sweater jackets from ba&sh, Boden, and J.Crew. (M.M.LaFleur has some also!) On the budget side of things, check out Mango, Tuckernuck (XXS-XXL), and CeCe. If you prefer a lined, more Chanel-style jacket for work, do take a look at IRO and L’Agence; Mango, J.Crew Factory, and Madewell often have them at budget-friendly prices.
