Sali Christeson and Eleanor Turner went on a two-day shopping reconnaissance mission in 2014. Hunting for women’s workwear, they hit up a handful of business-casual retailers all along the price spectrum, from Banana to Barneys. “It was a mess, basically,” Christeson says. The bulk of the clothing they found wouldn’t fly in most offices—hemlines were too short, fabrics wrinkled too easily, and quality was too low in general. The only professional outfits the salespeople managed to dig up were drab suits.
