Practicality, comfort, and style have been the running thread of our sartorial choices. As many still work from home while others have returned or are contemplating an office comeback, it makes sense that we're gravitating toward clothes that strike a balance of relaxed and put-together.
Madewell understands our needs for a versatile wardrobe, so the retailer has been consistently releasing pieces that make up our ideal work wardrobe but can totally be worn as off-duty looks. Its latest launch is no exception, and when it comes to deciding what will instantly upgrade your everyday outfit, take a look at the pieces we curated ahead.
