DRESS THE PART

Feeling feminine? Refresh your collection of dresses and skirts by choosing a mix of neutral tones, soft prints or bold colors. From A-line dresses to shift dresses, there are plenty of work dresses by brands like our exclusive INC International Concepts® and Alfani. You can wear a dress by itself or paired with a blazer for extra-polished vibes. Prefer a skirt? Tuck in your favorite blouse and elevate the entire look with heels.

POLISHED SEPARATES

When working with separates, focus on balance and the art of layering. Think a voluminous blouse paired with tapered trousers or a skirt and heels. Or, try work pants from Alfani (only at Macy’s) worn with a tucked in button-up shirt and loafers. Going sleeveless? Be sure to keep a jacket or blazer from Calvin Klein or Anne Klein on hand to combat a chilly office or to instantly add more polish to your outfit.

CREATE YOUR OWN SUIT

Fill your wardrobe with versatile office essentials like classic plus size jackets, printed plus size tops and tailored plus size pants. Try menswear-inspired suits and suit separates—pinstripes and plaid in a feminine cut go a long way. Experiment with a healthy dose of trends and classic styles, but always keep your work culture in mind. Be sure to also stock up on block heel pumps or flats, to mix and match with different outfits. Brand like Nine West and Tahari ASL have everything you need!
