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

This houndstooth dress from White House Black Market has so many of my favorite elements — a classic black-and-white color scheme, figure-flattering details, and it’s machine-washable! (Do note that it’s fully lined, so I’d probably do it on the gentle cycle to avoid getting the lining all twisted up.)

I would wear this dress with a black blazer for a day where you want to look formal, but not full-suit formal. For a more dressed-down look, I would wear it with a black turtleneck, black tights, and black booties.

The dress is $160 at WHBM and comes in sizes 4–18 (as 00–2 are sold out).

Two options that are more affordable are this dress from Allegra K (lucky sizes; $26.99–$28.99) and this Jessica London dress (12–28; $38.70–$51.33).
