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

A few years ago, it seemed like every dress had a “statement sleeve,” which may have looked cool but was wildly impractical for real life. (Ask me how many of my 2017 bell sleeves got dragged through wet ink or highlighter while I was writing.)

This sweater dress from Lela Rose has a much more scaled-back version of the statement sleeve of yesteryear. It’s got a bit of volume for a chic look that’s still functional.

The dress is $1,290 at Saks Fifth Avenue and comes in sizes XS–XL. It also comes in black.

A more affordable option is this dress from Nanette Nanette Lepore (on sale for $49.99); a plus-size alternative is $99.95 at Eloquii and available in 14/16 to 26/28.
