Few things are as exciting as discovering a workwear brand you genuinely love—one that makes you feel sharp and confident the moment you step into the office. An intentional work wardrobe begins with choosing brands known for creating investment pieces that truly anchor a closet. The best brands excel in craftsmanship: precise tailoring, luxury fabrics, and pieces with staying power. Labels that prioritize premium quality and timeless silhouettes deliver the staples—like a sculpted blazer, impeccably cut trousers, or a versatile dress—that form the foundation of a wardrobe. With the right brands behind them, these pieces build a workwear lineup that feels elevated and effortless season after season.

To help you uncover the best women’s workwear brands, stylist Brooklyn Nash shares her go-to designers, the labels she trusts for building work wardrobes that last, and the personal finds she’s loving right now.

The Art of Styling Women’s Workwear Outfits

Can you share a bit about your journey into styling and what drew you specifically to women’s workwear?

My journey into styling really began with a fascination for the way clothing communicates power and identity. Studying fashion design gave me a technical foundation, but working in luxury retail exposed me to women at the highest levels of business and leadership. I noticed how often they struggled to find workwear that felt both functional and expressive of their individuality. That’s what drew me to women’s workwear; there’s something incredibly compelling about helping a woman step into a boardroom with clothing that feels like armor, but also elegance. For me, it’s not just about putting together an outfit; it’s about creating a language of confidence, refinement, and presence that allows her to own every room she enters. 

How would you describe your styling philosophy when it comes to professional wardrobes?

My styling philosophy for professional wardrobes is rooted in the idea that workwear should be both commanding and deeply personal. I believe every piece should strike a balance between structure and fluidity with sharp tailoring softened by subtle details, and timeless silhouettes elevated by modern touches. 

I think the days of business attire requiring women to conform to a uniform are past us. While there will always be an underlying dress code for the office, styling outfits for the workplace is really about refining a woman’s visual language so that it reflects her authority and individuality. I want my clients to feel as though their wardrobe is an extension of their personality and personal style, while giving them quiet confidence.

What do you think defines modern power dressing?

Modern power dressing is no longer about rigid suits or traditional markers of authority; it’s about intentionality. Working with executives, I find that women are defining power on their own terms, and their wardrobes reflect that. We’re seeing tailoring that’s softer, silhouettes that blur the lines between masculine and feminine, and a focus on quality over excess. Power dressing now is about finding outfits that don’t sacrifice comfort for style and have an element of authenticity. 

How do you balance timeless staples with trend-forward pieces when curating workwear wardrobes?

I see timeless staples as the architecture of a professional wardrobe. They create the structure, the consistency, and the longevity. These are the investment pieces that are worth the splurge from heritage brands and luxury independent designers that prioritize quality and craftsmanship. 

 Once that foundation is in place, I like to layer in trend-forward pieces almost like accents of personality: a sculptural heel, a reimagined blazer, or a statement accessory that nods to what’s current without overwhelming what’s classic. The key is proportion. Too many trend-driven items can feel fleeting, but when you ground them in tailoring, neutral palettes, and beautiful fabrics, they become refreshing rather than distracting. For me, it’s always about balance, ensuring a wardrobe feels modern, yet enduring, so my clients can move confidently from one season to the next without ever feeling outdated.

When sourcing pieces for clients, how do you identify which brands align with their lifestyle, role, and personal style?

When sourcing pieces for my clients, I look beyond the clothes themselves; I consider the rhythm of their lifestyle, the expectations of their role, and the nuances of their personal aesthetic. A CEO who spends her days moving between boardrooms and evening galas will require a very different wardrobe than an entrepreneur who values creativity and flexibility in a day-to-day wardrobe. I seek out brands whose DNA reflects those needs, whether it’s precision tailoring from heritage houses, emerging designers with a modern edge, or labels rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship.

For people sourcing their own workwear outfits, what’s your advice for identifying workwear brands that truly align with someone’s personal style and professional lifestyle?

For women sourcing their own workwear, I always suggest starting with their day-to-day schedule because a wardrobe for someone traveling weekly will look very different from someone working mostly from home. Once you outline what a typical month looks like, you can map out the outfits and key pieces you’ll wear on repeat, whether that’s a blazer, a versatile pair of trousers, or a dress that transitions easily from day to night. From there, research brands known for those staples, paying attention to quality, peer recommendations, and customer reviews, so you’re building a wardrobe with intention rather than just filling your closet.

The other thing to keep in mind is that a confident wardrobe is rooted in pieces that flatter. I always suggest identifying your body shape, learning which cuts work best (for instance, if you are pear-shaped, you can draw attention to your upper body with ruffled tops or structured shoulders, and balance your lower half with wide-leg pants), and then finding brands known for those silhouettes. Once you know what fits and brands work for you, don’t be afraid to shop them on repeat, because building around pieces that consistently flatter ensures your wardrobe feels polished and you always look your best.

When it comes to personal style, look for alignment between a brand’s ethos and personal values. If you prize timelessness, lean into houses known for tailoring and clean lines. If your role allows for more expression, experiment with designers who bring a fresh aesthetic and creativity to workwear staples. Ultimately, the brands you choose should mirror not just your professional image, but also the lifestyle you want your wardrobe to support. That alignment is where style feels effortless.

Finally, find inspiration! If you don’t plan to invest in a stylist, search for outfit and brand inspiration online. Social media, online publications, and Substack are great places to start.
