Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This V-neck cardigan from TSE Cashmere is just gorgeous. Scandal has been off the air for the better part of a decade, but there are still lots of pieces that immediately make me think of our girl Olivia Pope. I know she would have worn the heck out of this, probably with some coordinating white pants.
As a normal lawyer who tries to keep herself out of international intrigue, I’d probably pair this with a pair of light gray trousers for the office or my favorite denim for the weekend.
The sweater is $750 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes XS-XL.
Talbots has a more affordable cotton-blend option that’s available in four size ranges and is on sale for $79.99 (marked down from $99.50).
Looking for even more? Some of the classic cashmere sweaters for work (as of 2025) include Nordstrom Cashmere, Quince ($50!), Vince, J.Crew, Naadam, Talbots, Lands’ End, and Brooks Brothers. If you’re looking for something fancier try Loro Piana, Akris, Autumn Cashmere, or (more casual) Jenni Kayne.
