MM.LaFleur: The Best Workwear Company You’ve Never Heard Of [Sponsored]

As professional women, we’ve all been there: You’re standing in front of your closet at 7am, frantically trying to devise an outfit that will take you from your first meeting, to a client lunch, to a presentation, and then to post-work drinks with friends. Your closet is full but you still feel you have “nothing to wear”—and no time to shop.

Enter MM.LaFleur, an NYC-based fashion startup that is changing the sartorial game for busy professional women. Not only does MM produce luxury-quality clothing at a contemporary price point, but it also offers an insanely convenient way for women to try on and buy that clothing: The MM Bento.

So how does it work? You take a quick online survey about your style and fit preferences, then an MM.LaFleur stylist sends you a “Bento Box” of 4-8 pieces (including accessories) that can be mixed and matched to create multiple work outfits. The best part? It’s completely free to try, and you only pay for what you keep. If you’re mall-averse or simply don’t have time to shop, this system brings the dressing room to you. (All you have to do is pour yourself a glass of wine and try the pieces at your own pace.)

As for the MM collection, it’s designed by Miyako Nakamura, formerly the head designer of Zac Posen, who brings a high-fashion sensibility to the realm of women’s workwear. Fear not: Nakamura’s versatile pieces are as practical as they are elegant. Much of MM’s collection is machine-washable, wrinkle-resistant, and travel-friendly—perfect for women who want to look impeccable (without thinking too much about it).

The company’s motto is “take the work out of dressing for work,” and with the MM Bento, that’s exactly what they’ve done.
