[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is dumb.

No one is claiming sundresses are for the office.

Plenty of women work from home or don't work (i.e. SAHMs) and can wear sundresses whenever we want. The PP who is a lawyer who likes the Tuckernuck lemon dress never said she would wear it to work. Presumably she also has a life outside of her office!

OP seems to want more office clothing in stores. There are plenty of stores that sell traditional, not ruffled, work clothing. She is free to head over to Brooks Brothers whenever she likes.

I think that’s op’s point. More than just highest end stores should offer something for the non trad wives customer. [/quote]

Plenty of not high end stores DO offer non-frilly clothes.

There are two reigning styles right now- Trad wife and the Gen Z beige 'old money' aesthetic. Basically any stores catering to the latter will have clothes more palatable to OPs taste. Off the top of my head Quince, Everlane, Ann Taylor/Loft, Banana Republic, Aritzia, JCrew, Uniqlo, and Zara will all have more traditional office clothing. I'm sure there are a million other options.

I think OPs point is that she doesn't like the frilly look, associates it with toddlers or SAHMs (who she probably feels are beneath her), and wants a return to 2012 when women wore business casual to go clubbing. Only a minority of women post COVID are working full time in an office that requires wearing a suit or similar outfit. Stores will sell what makes them money and right now that seems to be floral midi dresses, not grey sheath dresses.
