OfMercerOf Mercer creates on-the-go pieces that travel well and can withstand a variety of climates, from arctic office A/C to the dry heat of the airport terminal.Traveling for work presents a particular kind of wardrobe challenge. When you go on vacation, it's perfectly acceptable to wear sweatpants and throw your hair up in a top knot or whatever makes you most comfortable. But work travel is a whole different animal. You might be flying with colleagues or running to an important meeting with potential partners the minute you touch down.
Of Mercer designs clothes that keep you looking polished in all different settings. The items are professional but have a slightly more relaxed and comfortable (but never sloppy) vibe that separates them from other brands.
Many of the designs come equipped with special details that make these items truly effortless — a reversible cardigan with "the structure of a blazer," elastic waist pants comfortable enough for a plane and tailored enough for a board meeting, and a sleek card case are notable examples.
Insider Reviews editor Ellen Hoffman gave the brand a great review, writing, "I had a great experience with Of Mercer, and I highly recommend anyone who has trouble finding affordable, high-quality work clothes check out the company's site to see if its dresses, pants, and blazers are the right fit." — Erin Mayer
Sizes run from 00-20W, and there's also a small maternity collection.
Pros: Stylish and durable work clothes that are good for travel, decent size range
Cons: The clothes aren't cheap but you pay for the high quality
