Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Katy Top

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

Pari Passu was on our list of favorite brands for plus-sized workwear, and they never disappoint. This ponte top has a slightly boxy shape that still manages to look sleek, and the ponte fabric has 5% spandex for just the right amount of stretch.

Since it hits right at the hip, I would pair this with some high-waisted trousers for a fabulous business casual look.

The top is $228 at Saks and Nordstrom and comes in sizes 12-24. It’s also available in espresso. 

Hunting for high end brands that carry plus sizes? Some of our favorites for workwear include Marina Rinaldi, Vince, Lafayette 148 New York, Veronica Beard, Nic & Zoe, Tanya Taylor, Harshman, Karen Millen, Minnie Rose cashmere, Sachin & Babi, BAACAL, and Amour 781.
