FAQs

What is considered business casual for women?

Business casual is a balanced style that looks professional without being overly formal. It typically includes tailored pants or skirts paired with a blouse, sweater, or unstructured blazer. Our Work Edit is curated specifically to make building these outfits easy, offering mix-and-match separates that always look put-together.

Are Rafaella work pants machine washable?

Yes! We know you are busy, so we design most of our workwear to be low-maintenance. The majority of our trousers and tops are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. We always recommend checking the specific care label on your garment to ensure it stays looking new.

Do you offer petite and plus size work clothes?

Absolutely. We believe great style is for everyone. Our workwear collection is available in a full range of sizes, including Petite (for women 5'4" and under) and Plus Sizes (1X-3X), ensuring a flattering fit for every professional.

How do I style work pants for a casual office?

For a more relaxed office vibe, try swapping a traditional blazer for one of our cardigans or a decorative knit top. You can also pair our signature Gabardine pants with a bold print blouse to add personality to your look while maintaining professionalism.

What fabrics are best for all-day comfort at work?

Look for fabrics with a touch of stretch. We incorporate Elastane and Spandex into many of our woven bottoms and tops. This provides flexibility and prevents the fabric from feeling stiff or restrictive, making them perfect for long days at the desk or on the go.
