Workwear Finds: What Readers Bought in October
After a ton of reader requests, we’ve been rounding up some of the top things readers have bought recently — so here are some of the most-purchased items from October 2022!
(Admin note: we’ve changed the format of this post! In the current iteration, we’re just focusing on the list of top-bought items only and then a few of the more interesting, trendy pieces instead of the pieces that are also high on the list. At the same time, we’ve renewed our “How to Build a Work Wardrobe At ___” series, focusing on the reader favorites from each individual store, since there really are a lot of clear winners from looking at the data.) We’ll also try to add in some store-specific, trendy items that readers bought a lot of last month.)
See the whole series here. We’ve tried to note in the text where an item is in our Workwear Hall of Fame, as well as whether it’s on sale!
