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

We’re in kind of a weird shoulder season for shopping. Post-holiday sales are wrapping up and the new arrivals are trickling out, but they’re for a season that feels very far away. I always think this is a good time of year to stock up on basics, especially if you’ve done a New Year’s closet cleanout and have identified some items that need to be replaced.

If you’re in the market for basics, these cropped pants from J.Crew have been a recent favorite of mine. The slight flare makes them look contemporary, but the fabric is one of my J.Crew favorites — a slight stretch, but never baggy at the end of the day. I wear them at least once a week with loafers and a sweater for an easy business casual outfit. 

The pants are pn sale for $89.50 (marked down from $128) at J.Crew and come in sizes 00-24, 00P-12P, and 0T-12T. 

Hunting for warm dress pants for winter? We like fabrics like wool flannel, wool blends, corduroy, and velvet — but know your office before wearing pants cut like denim, with five pockets (especially corduroy and velvet). In 2025, for wool flannel, check Aritzia, Loft, Talbots*, and Nordstrom. For great wool and wool blends, check out Banana Republic, J.Crew*, and M.M.LaFleur. (* = plus sizes)
