We’ve been doing our Washable Workwear Wednesdays for a while now, and I’ve learned there are a few brands that one can reliably look to for washable clothes. So if you’re on the hunt, I thought we’d round them up…

How much do you rely on easy-care clothes for your work wardrobe, especially now that you’re a parent? What are your favorite brands with washable workwear? (Any laundering tips to share?)

The Best Brands for Washable Workwear in 2024

M.M.LaFleur

A lot of dresses and tops from M.M.LaFleur are washable — and readers love the fit and style. The brand even has a separate page featuring the machine-washable customer favorites! You can also find select styles at Nordstrom.

Boden 

A woman wearing a Bronte Ottoman Dress

Not only is Boden one of Corporette readers’ favorite places to shop on the Internet, but a TON of their clothes are washable, including their best-selling Ottoman dresses. Bonus: they sell kids’ clothes too, so you can do one-stop shopping. The brand offers sizes up to 22, as well as short and tall styles. (Note: Nordstrom sells the brand as well!)

Halogen

Many pieces in Halogen’s line of affordable clothing are washable workwear, including dresses, blazers, and more — and much of it is available in regular, petite, and plus sizes.

Lands’ End

Corporette readers love Lands’ End washable ponte dresses, but do note that their suiting pieces are mostly machine washable as well. The brand also offers plus, petite, and, occasionally, tall sizes.

Ming Wang

You can get Ming Wang‘s stretchy, travel-friendly pieces — all of them washable — at Nordstrom. The brand also offers plus sizes!

Eileen Fisher

Not only does Eileen Fisher focus on the human rights aspects and environmental impact of its supply chain through Horizon 2030 (and is otherwise friendly to ladies who prefer slow fashion workwear), but most of the pieces are machine washable. Another pro: most pieces are also available in petites and plus sizes. Corporette readers love this pair of pants so much they call them the magic pants for work.

Vince Camuto

A woman wearing a Calvin Klein Women\'s Petite Dress

Vince Camuto‘s affordable, cute dresses are great for desk to dinner, and the brand makes a ton that are machine washable.

NYDJ

Whether you’re a mother or not, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (aka NYDJ) has a ton of washable workwear, some of it with a bit of secret shaping power, including blouses, dresses, pants and more. In fact, readers think they make one of the best pants for work!

Hobbs London

Hobbs London has a ton of washable workwear — including machine washable suiting! The brand is available at Bloomingdales as well as at Hobbs.

Betabrand

As Betabrand explains on its website, “Brand-new ideas spring to life on our site every day [and] our fans co-design and crowdfund them into existence.”

The brand (or “online clothing community,” as it labels itself) became known for their yoga pants for work, but they’ve expanded and you can sometimes find dresses, blazers, and more.

Karen Kane

A woman wearing a Cascade Wrap Dress

Karen Kane offers dresses, skirts, blouses and more for work, many of them machine washable and available in regular and plus sizes. This $108 dress — often on sale for even lower! — has been a reader favorite, and comes out in new prints and colors in long-sleeves and short-sleeves every season (you can often find previous seasons on Amazon!).

Banana Republic

Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory both have a ton of washable workwear — not just pants, but suiting as well! In fact, in addition to Hobbs and Lands’ End, BR is one of the few places you can find washable suits for women at all.

Brooks Brothers

Brooks Brothers isn’t the brand that first comes to mind when you think of washable workwear, but they do have some options! Their line of non-iron blouses is a great place to start — it has a variety of options, including feminine details like ruffle-necks and ruffle plackets to more classic choices like pinstripes.

Summersalt

white machine-washable sweater blazer for work

Yes, Summersalt has lots of NON-office-appropriate offerings (swimsuits, loungewear, PJs, and so on), but a wide selection of washable workwear pieces is in the mix, too — including plus sizes.

The brand makes button-front shirts, trousers, sweater blazers, cardigans, short-sleeved sweaters, and more! And while many of the dresses are too casual for work (think sundresses), some could work in business casual settings.

The pictured sweater blazer is one of our favorites, and it’s machine washable!

Everlane

Among Everlane‘s washable workwear options is their washable silk blouse, pictured, which is $150. Beyond that, Everlane has washable cardigans, sweaters, pants, blazers, dresses, and more (mostly basic styles in neutral colors), and you can find some of them in their featured workwear picks, which are definitely worth a look.

Quince

Quince is another good bet for washable workwear (and over at Corporette, Elizabeth is a big fan of their blouses.) Quince is known for washable silk at affordable prices, and in addition, their bestsellers, including the Core Collection, feature many washable styles in organic cotton and linen. The pictured organic blazer is $69.90 and available in seven neutral colors.

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor is one of your best bets for machine washable suiting! (Over on Corporette last year, we discussed their best suiting lines.) The website has a helpful Suiting Guide that details each of the five suiting lines — seasonless stretch, double knit, bi-stretch, fluid crepe, and lightweight — and notes that they’re all machine washable. Their suiting is available in petite, curvy, and tall, in sizes 00–18.

(Readers also love this machine washable mixed media pleat blouse, which comes in a huge array of colors and prints.)

Amour Vert

Amour Vert has a ton of machine washable clothes, including their washable silk blouses! Readers are particularly fond of the Renata, but they have a ton of great options.
