Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A gingham sleeveless dress because it's never too early to break out this print, tbh! I've spotted it on several celebs recently, and it's quickly becoming a year-round print — so why not dress up your 9-to-5 a lil' bit with this sweet stunner?

Quince

Promising review: "I love this dress and own it in other colors! Love the new patterns they’re coming out with and the linen fabric is very breathable, but still thick enough to feel high quality." —Wendy H.

Price: $64 (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 colors and prints)

2. A stretch mulberry silk button-down basically giving Julia Roberts's iconic brown-and-white polka-dot dress moment in Pretty Woman, but in shirt form — and I am here for it! The puff sleeves are such a pretty finishing touch, and the silk is washable to boot!

Quince

Promising reviews: "I love this blouse and immediately got compliments on it. Tailored but not tight, and long enough to tuck but not bad looking over jeans, too. Definitely buying more colors!" —Sarah

"This is my third purchase of this blouse. They fit and look great. I wear a lot of casual dress clothing for work, and these have been staples for my work wardrobe." —Sara C.

Price: $79.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)

3. Or a sleeveless version, so you can keep those Beverly Hills vibes going even if you layer it under a blazer. FYI: This will look amaaazing with a pair of pleated trousers.

Quince

Promising reviews: "Lovely shirt that can be dressed up or down. I will pair it with jeans, pants, and a skirt on different occasions." —Qiana

"I love that this silk top is washable. Saves on dry cleaning and looks just as good after washing. It’s a great versatile piece because I can wear it to work under a blazer or for a night out." —Kathleen P.

Price: $59.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)

4. A pair of colorblock ballet flats I'd swear were ~that~ designer, but at a fraction of the price (which by no means diminishes their posh status!). They're finished with pretty tied bows at the toes, and they'll go with ev-ery-thing in your work wardrobe.

Quince

Promising reviews: "These are beautiful shoes. The only thing missing is the double C's on the toe cap. ;) Even the packaging is high quality. So glad I purchased these!!" —Jodi H.

"I love this shoe, it’s comfy and classy. The two-tone leather is perfect for mixing and matching with so many outfits, from pants to dresses. The leather is soft and obviously high quality." —Kimberly C.

Price: $82 (available in sizes 5–10 and two colors)

5. A timeless shirtdress in breezy linen, accented with a tied belt and notched lapels. This silhouette comes back year after year, and for good reason — it's just. that. good. Finish the look with a pair of ballet flats or kitten heels.

Quince

Promising review: "Love this dress! The color is really beautiful, and the fabric is light but not see-through. I’ll for sure be buying this in other colors! Can’t beat the drive for the quality and versatility of the dress." —Bennett

Price: $64 (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors and prints)

6. A double-breasted blazer with refined blue and white pinstripes, in case it's nice outside, but your office is seriously frigid. Not to mention the golden dome buttons, peaked lapels, and longline silhouette make it totally Working Girl-coded!

Quince

Promising review: "Fabulous anchor piece for my spring/summer wardrobe. Paired with trousers and a silk shell: perfect for work. Over a long eyelet maxi dress: on point for a picnic at a polo match. With white jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals, and you are ready to run errands. Don’t wait on this. Get it!" —Alexandra P.

Price: $100 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors and prints)

7. A pair of wide-leg trousers you can dress up or down, and wear from the office out to dinners and drinks. Plus, you won't feel constricted while you're sitting at your desk all day since they have a comfy drawstring waist! 

Quince

Promising review: "I've been looking for higher-waisted linen pants with pockets for a while now, and these are IT! They are lovely. Good length and great craftsmanship. Quality pants, super happy with them and the price point." —Anna H.

Price: $52 (available in sizes 1X–3X and eight colors and prints)

8. A chicer-than-chic pussy-bow blouse for chillier spring days when you don't want to wear a jacket. To bow or not to bow in a luxe mulberry silk blouse? To bow, obviously!!

Quince

The silk is washable too!

Promising review: "I was given this blouse in the wine color as a Christmas gift, and right away I could tell I would need another. The silk is so soft and really looks expensive; it's perfect for my job in jewelry sales. I love the feel of it on my skin and its ability to keep up with my changing temperature throughout the day." —Haley

Price: $89.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors and prints)

9. A V-neck tank crafted in sleek, luxer-than-luxe mulberry silk, with just a hint of stretch so it moves with you throughout your looooong workday. Add a blazer, wide-leg trousers, and kitten heels for an elegant office lewk. 

Quince

Promising review: "I’m genuinely impressed with this tank. The washable silk has that beautiful, fluid drape Quince is known for, but with a softness that feels effortless against the skin. It layers perfectly under sweaters, blouses, and jackets, yet looks elevated enough to wear on its own. I also love that it’s truly low-maintenance: it comes out of the wash looking smooth and luxe, no special care required." — Cami C.

Price: $62 (available in sizes 1X–3X and six colors)

10. A woven satchel in luxe, creamy white Italian leather, because every good work wardrobe deserves a fabulous satchel, and this one is soooo it.

Quince

Promising review: "Feels very high quality, beautiful piece! Gives you the vibe of a $4,000 bag." —Divya L.

Price: $132+ (available in two sizes and four colors)

11. A beyond breezy dress in lightweight linen, with a slouchy, oversize silhouette you'll love wearing on hotter spring days. Add a pair of loafers and gold jewelry, and you're good to go!

Quince

Promising review: "This comfortable dress is the perfect length and fit for a day at the office or running around town. It is neither boxy nor snug. I love it!" —Dana H.

Price: $64 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors)

12. A boxy tee in luxuriously plush Mongolian cashmere, because just typing out those words made me add it to my cart in every single color! And for under $60? I mean, what could be better!?

Quince

Promising reviews: "I’m finding myself reaching for this even on the weekend just because it’s so soft and comfy it feels like a hug." —Krista K.

"I have this sweater in four colors and love them all! Perfect for the office, and a casual but polished look. It’s breathable and does not require a wash after every wear, and it keeps its shape." —allison y.

Price: $54.90 (available in sizes 1X–3X and 10 colors)

13. A silk midi skirt in the prettiest shade of butter yellow, so you can continue your love of this sunny hue that's been trending for the past year. It's designed to hit just below the knees, so it's perfect with heels, flats, and booties!

Quince

Promising review: "Omg, pictures don't do this skirt any justice!! It's sooo flowy and gorgeous!! It feels amazing!!" —Steffi

Price: $69.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors and prints)

14. A lightweight cardigan for days when you have to go into your freeeezing office and don't want to turn into an icicle. 🥶 And this way, you'll still be the best-dressed person in the conference room. Welcome to the cardi party!

Quince

Promising review: "Great sweater! Saturated color and fits true to size. Perfect weight for spring or fall." —Lara

Price: $90 (available in sizes 1X–3X and five colors)

15. A pair of Mary Jane ballet flats, putting you solidly in the camp of people who know how to rock the trendiest shoes. Mary Janes are a 9-to-5 wardrobe staple at this point, so if you haven't hopped on the bandwagon yet, now's absolutely the time!

Quince

Promising review: "These Mary Janes are very comfortable and fit true to size. The leather is soft and feels high-quality. They were comfortable right away with no break-in needed. They look nice with both casual and work outfits. Overall, they are a great choice if you want a classic leather Mary Jane that is comfortable and easy to wear all day. Will be purchasing more in other colors." —Deb E.

Price: $72 (available in sizes 5–10 and three colors)

16. A pair of pleated trousers that come in different petite-friendly inseams! If you're a shortie like me (5-foot tall girlies unite!), you'll especially love the 28-inch inseam, which means you can — gasp! — wear flats!!

Quince

Promising review: "I wore these the first time, and they fit really well. I love the fabric and found it easy to spot-clean. I can envision innumerable options to dress these pants from spring in Texas all the way through to fall and plan to do exactly that!" —Linda R.

Price: $49.90 (originally $69.90; available in sizes 0–16, three inseam lengths, and seven colors)

17. A tiered, gauzy mini dress whose totes profesh button-down front actually makes it surprisingly perfect for the office. And the three-quarter sleeves will help keep you cool during tense work calls!

Quince

Promising review: "I purchased the dress to wear, not knowing if I would be pairing it with tights and boots or bare legs and casual shoes. Either works with this dress." —Sheila L.

Price: $59.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors)

18. A pair of sleek ponte trousers because wide-leg pants are *the* thing right now, and you're about to be the envy of your entire team when you roll in wearing these!

Quince

They have a comfy pull-on waistband, too!

Price: $55 (available in sizes 1X–3X, two inseam lengths, and two colors)

19. A pair of loafer mules crafted in luxe Italian leather and accented with gleaming metal horsebit details that'll have you feelin' Gucci, if you catch my drift.  😏 Loafers aren't going away anytime soon, and a stylist told me recently that loafer mules are the updated spring version of the trend, so do your work ’fits a favor and start wearing ’em ASAP!

Quince

Promising review: "They look every bit as expensive as the designer brand. Super comfortable and I get lots of compliments." —Marhia R.

Price: $72 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors)

20. A linen short-sleeve blouse for those days when you're running late and need to pop on the first item you find before you head out the door. This one's literally called the Popover Top, so it fits the bill! 

Quince

Promising review: "Incredible top. Can be worn casually or classily. I love the versatility and quality." —Natasha

Price: $42 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors and prints)

21. A lightweight mini dress giving me maaaajor heart eyes. 😍 The banded waist, the button-front, the V-neckline, the cap sleeves... Honestly, I cannot wait to wear this all spring long!

Quince

Promising review: "This dress seems like you paid more for it than you did. I bought my first color in navy, and I purchased terracotta today. It fits so well, and I love that it has eye hooks to help you make the dress more modest (like to wear to work). I am heavy-chested, so that's appreciated." —Megan

Price: $59.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)

22. A drapey, dolman-sleeve tee designed in a soft blend of cotton and cashmere that's about to become the tee you wear every darn day. Pair it with pleated trousers and pointed-toe pumps for work, then transition to weekend wear with wide-leg jeans and sneakers. No wonder it's racked up thousands of 5-star ratings!

Quince

Promising review: "I purchased three of these. Love them so much and an everyday staple!" —Sue C.

Price: $39.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors)

23. A fitted floral dress because I'm DEFINITELY hoping for April showers to bring these May flowers! 🌺 Like, can you even with this cuteness?

Quince

Promising review: "This dress is beautiful and truly will be a wardrobe staple!" —Emily S.

Price: $84 (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors and prints)
