Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Cashmere Variegated-Rib Midi Skirt

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

I can’t get enough of this beautiful chocolate brown color this season. This ribbed cashmere from TSE Cashmere (a Neiman Marcus house brand) looks so luxuriously soft that I’m afraid I might be tempted to curl up and take a nap in it.

Pair it with an ivory blouse or the coordinating mockneck top for a monochromatic look.

The skirt is on sale for $637 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes XS-XL. 

Some of the classic cashmere sweaters for work (as of 2024) include Nordstrom Cashmere, Quince ($50!), Vince, J.Crew, Naadam, Talbots, Lands’ End, and Brooks Brothers. If you’re looking for something fancier try TSE, Loro Piana, Akris, Autumn Cashmere, or (more casual) Jenni Kayne.
