Finding dress-code compliant workwear that you actually enjoy wearing is already a struggle. Add on top of that that it’s made from sustainable materials in an ethical, transparent factory or studio? You might be shopping around for weeks.
That’s why I curated this collection of brands with ethical workwear, including structured button-ups and blazers, well-fitted trousers, silky blouses, pencil skirts, and sheath dresses—for any woman seeking office-appropriate pieces.
(Note that some of the brands included in this guide are affiliates or partners. As always, I only choose to feature ethical brands that I truly believe in and would post about otherwise. Thanks for your support!)
