About LOFT

Think of LOFT as the easygoing cousin in the Ann Taylor family — softer fabrics, more relaxed cuts, and a vibe that leans casual-professional rather than buttoned-up boardroom. It's where you go for a comfortable pair of trousers, a wrap dress that works for both a meeting and a dinner, or denim that doesn't fight you. The aesthetic is approachable and a little understated.

The real draw is how often things go on sale. Between frequent 40%-off promos and clearance markdowns, paying full price here feels almost optional, so it's worth waiting for a code. One honest heads-up: sizing runs inconsistent across cuts, and reviewers regularly mention pieces coming up bigger or smaller than expected, so check the fit notes before you commit. Mostly it's working women who want polished, wearable basics without a designer price tag.

What they sell

  • Workwear staples — Marisa and Julie fit trousers, blazers, and ponte pants that hold their shape
  • Dresses, especially their wrap and shift styles that pull double duty for office and weekend
  • Casual tops and sweaters — soft tees, button-downs, and cozy knits in seasonal colors
  • Denim in a handful of fits (skinny, straight, wide-leg) that lean comfortable over rigid
  • LOFT Lounge and basics for the off-the-clock days
