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

It’s summer, it’s hot, and sometimes we just need a colorful wrap dress to get us through the day.

In my Biglaw days, I knew a partner who worked with a lot of artists and celebrities, and instead of suits, she had a collection of the most fantastic dresses you’ve ever seen. I think she would have loved this bright orange Gucci wrap dress for the summer and would have worn it with a pair of fabulous heels that cost more than my rent. She walked so Elle Woods could run!

The dress is $3,980 at NET-A-PORTER and comes in Italian sizes 36-48. 

A few more affordable options in bold orange prints: Nina Leonard (Nordstrom Rack, $29.95), Chaus (Nordstrom, $99), and in plus sizes, City Chic (Nordstrom, $104 on sale).
