The Workday That Starts With Nothing to Zip or Button

The Workday That Starts With Nothing to Zip or Button

Four pieces that ask very little of a busy morning: a mock neck knit, pull on pants, a low block heel and a small bag with a strap. Nothing fiddly, and everything sits well together for work, class or a long day out. Made for anyone building a wardrobe on a small budget.

  1. The mock neck sweater for the first cool morning

    The mock neck pullover is the quiet base of this set. It is knit from 55% cotton, 25% modal and 20% polyester, with rib at the neck, cuffs and hem and a regular fit through chest, waist and hips. Machine wash cold and dry flat.

  2. The ankle boots for rushing out the door on a Tuesday morning

    The ankle booties sit on a 1.8 inch stacked block heel, a low and steady base. A side zip means no laces to deal with, and the round toe and textured rubber outsole keep the look classic. Perforated or smooth finish is a matter of taste.

  3. Wide leg pants for the rush from desk to dinner

    These pants are made from textured waffle fabric, 97% polyester and 3% spandex, so there is stretch built in. They have a pleated front, a mesh panel at the waist, two pockets and no zipper or buttons. Inseams come in 26 or 28 inches, which helps if you need a petite length.

  4. The little shoulder bag for a phone, keys and a lip balm, Gold

    The crescent bag is nylon with a metal zipper and an adjustable strap, so it can sit on the shoulder or tuck under the arm. It measures 8.66 by 2.13 by 4.92 inches and has five pockets for a phone, keys, ID and lip balm. Hand wash only, shown here in gold.
