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

Every summer, I find myself invited to at least one or two work-related events with inscrutable dress codes. What am I wearing to a panel discussion at a resort where half of the attendees will be dressed like they’re headed to the pool and the other half are in blazers? A shirtdress. Consistently. 

This tailored short-sleeved shirtdress from Theory looks polished enough to hang out with the business casual folks but wouldn’t be totally inappropriate if you end up in the fun group heading directly from the official programming to the poolside bar.

For the office, I would add a blazer and my favorite know-your-office summer shoes.

The dress is $475 at Nordstrom comes in sizes 00-16.
