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

I’m seeing a shift in sweater jacket silhouettes lately. There are fewer blazer styles and more “lady jacket” styles popping up, including this really cute striped version from Talbots. At this point, I’m not 100% sure I could tell you the difference between a sweater jacket and a thick cardigan, but I’m also not sure it matters!

I would pair this with some navy trousers and loafers for a comfy, business casual look.

The sweater is on sale for $89.99 (marked down from $129) at Talbots and comes in sizes XS-XL and P-XL.

Lady jacket fan? Some of our latest favorite lady jackets for work include sweater jackets from ba&sh, Boden, and J.Crew. (M.M.LaFleur just got 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.
