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

I’m currently working on a project that involves a bunch of effortlessly chic women in their 50s and 60s, and I’m pretty sure they all have some version of this dress in their closet: a bold-colored, figure-flattering shirtdress with one or two beautiful details.

This red number from Hobbs London has a tie waist that gives it a perfect shape, while the bright red color projects a confidence and self-assuredness that may or may not be real. (Fake it till you make it, am I right?) I would add a navy blazer for a more formal office or some fun jewelry and shoes for a more casual vibe.

The dress is $290 at Nordstrom and comes in U.S. sizes 2–16.

A couple of more affordable options are from Standards & Practices (plus sizes, $98) and Mango (straight sizes, $79.99); both are available at Nordstrom.
