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

If I were building a professional wardrobe from scratch on a budget, I would start with Calvin Klein dresses. They’re well-priced, and while they’re not necessarily on the cutting edge of fashion, that’s not what most people need for work.

This seamed scuba crepe dress is a great basic and is under $100. The black version could be a great wardrobe workhorse, but I also love the aubergine and ochre colors if you’re looking for something different.

The dress is $89 at Macy’s (but be on the lookout for frequent sales) and comes in sizes 2–16.

This black Calvin Klein sheath is available in sizes 14W–24W and is $99.98 at Dillard’s.
