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

Linen can be a controversial choice for work clothing, but my opinion is that it’s great for summer Fridays when it’s too hot to care about wrinkles. This cream-colored utility dress from Theory is so chic, I wouldn’t mind if it looked a little rumpled at the end of the day.

I really like the concealed button-front (great for avoiding awkward peek-a-boo gaping) and the structural flap pockets. I would wear this with brown flats or sandals and be prepared to sneak out of the office a little early to enjoy the nice weather!

The dress is $395 at Theory and comes in sizes 00–16. It’s also available in “sprig,” a really pretty olive green color.

Two more affordable options are this Banana Republic dress on final sale for $97.97 (marked down from $149) and this linen-blend NYDJ dress, available in 0X–3X and on sale for $54.97 (from $139) at Nordstrom Rack.
