Thursday’s Workwear Report: Long Giselle Sweater Blazer

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

Back in my law firm days, I never minded working a few days between Christmas and New Year’s because it was quiet and I was able to bill for a whole day without many interruptions. I also got to wear whatever I wanted because no one was going to see me.

My ideal comfy office outfit involves a long sweater like this sweater blazer from J.Crew. Pair it with your favorite T-shirt and some pull-on pants and it’s just about as close to athleisure as you can get for the office.

The sweater blazer is $139.99, marked down from $168 — and another 60% off with code — at J.Crew. It comes in sizes XXS-3X.
