Is Anthropologie’s Tobie Dress the Viral Workwear Hit of Summer 2025?

The Tobie Button-Front Pleated Shirt Dress by Exquise in Blue and White Gingham.

While scrolling through TikTok a few days ago, I came across a video of a young woman showcasing her latest summer dress find. In it, she styled a striped black-and-white number that featured pin-tuck detailing at the waist and delicate buttons down the front. A few eager taps later, I discovered what is currently the summer work outfit must-have from Anthropologie—a Tuckernuck Jackie dress alternative for summer 2025 office style.

The viral work dress, officially known as The Tobie Shirt Dress, is from the brand Exquise and was introduced on Anthropologie’s site in February 2024. Despite being over a year into its tenure, this breathable cotton-poplin piece, exclusive to the retailer and retails for $198, has garnered a following among young professionals on TikTok. A quick search for it on the app yields thousands of videos, each showcasing women preparing for their internships and corporate full-time positions while wearing it.
