5 Must-See Careerwear Designers

5 Must-See Careerwear Designers | CorporateFashionista.com

I must confess it always astonishes me how challenging it is to find ideal careerwear appropriate for corporate, creative, and (yes!) even casual work environments.

In stores and online, it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. When I do finally find a piece with potential, it seems a setback is not far behind. Someone in my circle of professionals already owns it or I’m tugging at it because its silhouette is too revealing or unflattering, the only color options are basic black or ultra bright, the fabric is awkwardly sheer or uncomfortable, and the price, relative to quality, is often perplexingly high. Ultimately, I feel pressured to make some concession to make a piece work for work, but it never feels quite right enough for me to feel carefree, competent and dynamic in it.

Good news!
