Our Editors Share Their Favorite, Easy-to-Throw-on Outfits for the Office From Amazon—From $16

This summer, you can save some much-needed time from having to plan your work outfits the night before (or the morning of, for my fellow procrastinators), because Amazon has several easy-to-throw-on pieces that look sleek and work-ready. 

Our editors have rounded up their favorite work pieces from Amazon’s Fashion hub, with picks starting at just $16. This curated list includes wardrobe essentials like long blazers you can keep at your desk, high-waisted trousers that easily transition from summer to fall , smart and polished midi dresses, and more from The Drop, Grace Karin, and Amazon Essentials. All of these pieces are the perfect addition to your work capsule wardrobe, and many can be worn throughout the year. 

Editor-Loved Workwear Pieces at Amazon

The Drop Blake Long Blazer

“No matter the season, I always opt for a sleek blazer, like this button-down style from The Drop, to complete my work outfit. I love a neutral tone, such as black or beige, so that I can wear it throughout the year, but this one comes in 22 stunning colors and textures (there are sequin and boucle options). I pair the capsule wardrobe piece with a white T-shirt, trousers, and loafers in the winter, and throw it over a mini dress in the summer.” – Gabriella Maestri, Shopping Writer

Nimin High-Waisted Tailored Shorts

“Opting for something other than sweatpants when I’m working from home isn’t easy, but I’m more productive when I wear elevated staples, even in my living room. These summer-ready, tailored shorts are incredibly comfortable and effortlessly chic, especially when paired with a crisp white button-down shirt. I also love that if I have to run out for a midday meeting, I look put together and professional without having to change.” – Melony Forcier, Shopping Writer 

Hotouch Oversized Button-Down Blouse

“Layers are my work best friend, and an oversized button-down is my office go-to. It’s easily one of the most versatile pieces in my closet—I can wear it open over a tank or bodysuit, button it up on its own, or even tie it around my shoulders. This one is the perfect amount of oversized, too: long enough for a relaxed, slouchy vibe, but not so long that it feels like a dress. Plus, it’s super easy to dress up or down. I’m a sucker for classic white, but I love that this one comes in bright colorful options for a summery vibe.” – Jamie Fischer, Shopping Writer

Grace Karin Tie-Front Short-Sleeve Midi Dress

“In the summer, I love wearing a classic shirt dress to the office because they’re instantly polished with little effort—and they’re far more comfortable than trousers. This little black number is made from a viscose and linen blend to keep you cool on your commute, while the button-down front, lapel collar, and tie-waist keep you looking fresh in the conference room.” – Lily Gray, Senior Commerce Editor

Amazon Essentials Lightweight Crewneck Cardigan Sweater

I’m always freezing in the office, so I have to have layers, even in the summer. A cardigan is the perfect option, as it looks more elevated than a sweatshirt, and it’s not as bulky as a jacket. I love a classic, crewneck style like this one to wear over button-down shirts, short-sleeve blouses, and anything else. – Lauren Taylor, Shopping Writer

Nimin High-Waisted Trousers

The right high-waisted trousers can take you through every season. I love these pants because of their relaxed fit and lightweight fabric that doesn’t feel thin (meaning, they easily take me from summer to fall). I can wear them to work with slingbacks and a button-up shirt, then on the weekend I can wear them with sneakers and an oversized shirt. That’s a lot of bang for just $39. Of course my favorite colors are green and pink, but the work pants do come in neutrals, including black, gray, and several shades of brown. – Shalwah Evans, Senior Shopping Editor

Chouyatou Open Front Blazer

I love this blazer, and I almost didn’t want to give it up as an Amazon find because it looks so much more expensive than it is! The fabric is thick and has a nice texture, the lining is well done and overall it’s just a nicely tailored piece. It instantly fancies-up a tank or t-shirt and it’s what I wear when I don’t know what to wear. – Erica Finamore, Home Director

The Drop Women’s Noa Trench Coat

I could be wearing the cutest, most stylish work outfit, but if it’s hidden away underneath a bulky, unfashionable coat, I might as well be wearing sweats to the office. I love the simplicity of The Drop Noa Trench Coat as well as its versatility. I can throw it on over just about every kind of style or color palette [even in the summer when the office AC is blasting], and it makes the outfit look instantly more polished. – Steph Osmanski, Home Commerce Writer
