Dress For Success: Best Places In South Florida For Office Wear

That idea of Miami as the capitol of leisure is a general myth. Even in the sunshine state where it's always sunny, people have to go to work. Although we are lucky not to have to switch closets from rainy and snowy winters to hot summers, beach cover-ups, flip flops and sun lotions need to be retired for the week. We have selected the best stores in Miami where you can find a great selection of fashionable office attire.

Anya Ponorovskaya

35 N.E. 40th St.
Miami, FL 33137

www.anyaponorovskaya.com

Ponorovskaya's fourth boutique opened during Art Basel in Miami's Design District (December 2009), down the block from Christian Louboutin, Marni and recently opened Dior Homme, Louis Vuitton, among others. Known for bringing to modernity an almost forgotten generation of fashion, "the designer's retro flair has ideally blended with the cosmopolitan lifestyle of her local clientele since the opening of the boutique." Her Miami client is genuinely sensual and feminine, yet refuses to pay for fashion trends and finds in her creations the appropriate balance of looks for work and leisure.
