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

A basic black sweater is never going to be the most thrilling article of clothing in your closet, but how satisfying is it when you find the perfect one? I have two that are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe right now, and they rotate depending on some combination of external temperature and whether the powers-that-be in my office have decided that it is time to turn the air conditioning on. (May 1 is too early some years, and way too late in others!)

This silk-cashmere shawl-collar sweater from Brooks Brothers looks like a beautiful basic that’s not too heavy and not too light. The shawl collar makes it a little more interesting than my typical crew or V-neck, and the fit is super flattering.

If you’re looking for other colors, there are 10 available, but only in lucky sizes at this point.

The sweater is $84 on sale (marked down from $168) at Brooks Brothers and comes in sizes XS–XL.
