Where can I buy a high quality, decently priced business attire in NYC? By decently priced, I mean in vicinity of $100. Please share your experience even if you buy from more expensive store / designer. To give an idea of what I’m looking, attaching two photos below. Thank you

Don’t think any of my work clothes are under $300/piece. Got a really nice bow blouse from Kate spade and Hugo boss has a lot of nice pencil skirts that fit thinner. I’m a bit more curvy so I love theory. Brooke’s brothers also has occasional hits but I find it’s a bit too old schoolteacher conservative sometimes. Ted baker also has some good finds. What I do is get the complementary stylist at Nordstrom to pick things out for me. It’s faster and you get a second opinion. I don’t like to play around when it comes to workwear.

That being said I still wfh so it’s lululemon bottoms lately.

“Mall” stores, more affordable: Zara, Ann Taylor, Express, Antonio Melani (at Dillard’s), Banana Republic, shockingly Abercrombie, J. Crew, White House Black Market,

Better for staples (pricier): Theory, Brooks Brothers (though I think I heard they stopped their women’s clothing?), Vince, Ted Baker, Massillon Dutti (quality has declined lately though I believe), Everlane, Acne Studios

I’d recommend figuring out what you want first, if you don’t know, get some basics like trousers, skirts and a couple blazers at the cheaper places. Consider a service like Rent the Runway to figure out nicer brands or potential staples to buy from those brands (name brand does not equal high quality). Keep in mind you can also shop your own closet to start, so start with buying the basics and go from there!

Zara has had decent suiting lately. For basics, Ann Taylor is the place to go. It’s pretty overpriced, so I recommend joining their mailing list to get notified when it goes on sale (usually a few times a year but not during most regular sales)
