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

Are you heading back into the office, trying to look professional, but desperately missing your soft pants? Join the club.

While I’ve found a number of work pants that are stretchy enough that I can pretend to be in leggings, this ponte skirt from Ann Taylor is the closest I’ve found in skirt form. The waistband is elastic, and the ponte fabric is very thick but still has 4% elastic for a bit of stretch.

The navy version is going to be one of my go-tos for this spring and summer.

The skirt is $69 and available in regular sizes 00–18 and petite sizes 00–16. It also comes in black.

For a ponte pencil skirt in plus sizes, try this style from Old Navy; it’s available in gray and black and is $32.99 with 25% taken off at checkout.
