We recently rounded up and revamped our list of our favorite places to shop for affordable fashion here at CF – a round up that included fast-fashion favorites like Forever 21, H&M, and Zara. But what are the best stores for affordable workwear? 

It seems like you can’t sneeze without hitting a $10 crop top that will fall apart after one summer, but you can’t find a well-made white button-down without dropping your entire paycheck. Or, the cheap workwear you find in malls is clearly not marketed towards fashion-forward millennials. Except…

The places I turn to over and over again to refresh my work wardrobe are, more often than not, the same places I get my favorite sundresses and cute footwear. In fact, every store on my list is on CF’s 20 best stores list. You just need to know where to look!

These are the top five best stores for affordable workwear:

Lowkey, I have to really restrain myself every time I’m on the MANGO website because I love their workwear so much. If minimal, creative, and feminine is your thing, MANGO should definitely be one of your go-to places for workwear.

I absolutely love the blouses and blazers I’ve bought from them – they are comfortable, well made, and I haven’t had to throw out anything yet for giving out on me. (Granted, I only hopped on the MANGO train recently).

MANGO also has an excellent plus-size line called violeta that offers similar (and super-flattering) wares, and their accessories and bag game is absolutely on point. The only downside to MANGO is that it is a little pricier, but their sale section is always well-stocked and they have sales often, so definitely sign up for their email blasts to keep an eye on their offerings.
