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

The weather in the Northeast has me longing for warmer days, and this crewneck top from Banana Republic Factory might be my first purchase for the spring. The cut is gorgeous, and the scuba fabric looks substantial.

I don’t usually go for pastels, but this beautiful “violet lilac” color is making me rethink my position. Wear this under a navy or gray suit for a gorgeously feminine, but still professional, look. 

The top is $25 at Banana Republic Factory and comes in sizes XXS-XXL. It also comes in black, “preppy navy,” and “snow day.”
