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

I used to wear full suits to the office at least once or twice a week, usually for some combination of depositions, court conferences, or other formal meetings. In the last year, however, I can count on one hand the number of times that I’ve put on a full suit.

Usually, a blazer is formal enough for my purposes, and it doesn’t even have to be the typical black, gray, or navy. I actually prefer bright blazers because they look great on videoconferences (probably why so many news anchors go with bright, solid colors) and make my face look slightly less washed out.

This twill blazer from Talbots comes in this gorgeous orchid color, as well as a bright pink and royal blue, all of which would look fantastic on your next Zoom.

The blazer is $179 (but be on the lookout for Talbots’ frequent sales) and comes in plus sizes 12–24, plus petite sizes 14–22, misses sizes 2–18, and petite sizes 0–16.
