How to Style Workwear Pieces for Everyday Outfits This Spring

We’re quick to label certain pieces as “workwear” — and once we do, they rarely leave that category.

But the moment you label something as “office only,” you unintentionally rule out some of the most polished, flattering, and versatile pieces in your wardrobe.

Take Ann Taylor. It may feel like a 9-to-5 retailer, but that mindset might be limiting you. Yes, their collections lean tailored and refined — but those same pieces can work just as beautifully for everyday life. With the right foundation in place, you can dress them up for the office or down for lunch, errands, travel, or a casual dinner out.

This spring round-up is filled with chic, on-trend, and timeless styles that move effortlessly between settings — from vacation mornings to date night to coffee with friends.

Toss the labels. Start thinking in outfits, not categories.

The Spring 2026 Classic Capsule Wardrobe will break down the essential pieces you need — and show you exactly how to style them up and down all season long, so nothing in your closet feels one-dimensional again.
