My social media algorithm is full of such cute office clothes but all of it is crap quality yet extremely overpriced. I'm sure most of them are drop shipping.

Where can I get some modern and professional work wear that is from reputable brands and aren't just all polyester?

Hmm the mention of “polyester” suggests you’ve seen one too many TikToks about how all polyester is crap and only natural fibers are good

Important to member that “quality” of polyester can be good depending on how it’s made. Patagonia is a classic example of a company that uses primarily polyester but their stuff is obviously excellent, very durable, perfect for their intended function. Cotton, linen, cashmere etc can ALL be poorly made. Cashmere for example these days has become cheap and ubiquitous but only bc companies figured out how to mass produce using very low quality cashmere. Give me Patagonia quality polyester over cashmere from say, Quince, any day of the week.

That being said if you want to get as much natural fiber in your work clothes as possible, J Crew is my favorite place for that as they use a lot of cotton, linen, wool in business wear. I also live and die by Aritzia’s Only Pant which comes in wool

Which pants by Aritzia do you mean? I’m not seeing “Only Pant” on their website

AYR, Vince, Nordstrom / Nordstrom Rack, Reformation if you’re careful about fabric makeup (I have some cashmere sweaters from them that are solid)

It’s so disappointing when I read the clothing labels and see so many synthetic materials! It may depend on how formal your office is but I like to shop Sézane and J. Crew! I follow an account @fond.losangeles on IG that has been a good resource for polished clothing and she does a good deep dive on quality!
