If your wardrobe revolves around the office, Ann Taylor is one of the most reliable American names for it. The brand built its identity around classic-styled suits, separates and dresses for what it calls fashion-forward career women, and that polished, tailored point of view is still where it shines. Think of it as workwear that reads sharp rather than trend-chasing.
They are sibling labels under the same company. Loft was established in 1996 as an extension of the original Ann Taylor brand, offering more relaxed fashions for work and home in a moderate price category. Over time Loft developed its own identity as a casual lifestyle brand, while Ann Taylor itself stays in the dressier, more tailored lane.
The core is classic women's apparel: suits, separates, dresses, shoes and accessories. The name was chosen to evoke exactly that, with Taylor deliberately calling to mind tailored clothing. Across its divisions the company also reaches into more relaxed and outlet-priced territory, but the flagship Ann Taylor line is the polished, work-ready one.
The company markets across five divisions: Ann Taylor, Loft, Lou & Grey, Ann Taylor Factory and Loft Outlet. Lou & Grey leans into relaxed, athleisure-inspired pieces, while the Factory and Outlet lines offer merchandise inspired by their parent stores but made specifically for those channels.
Ann Taylor sells through its own US stores and online. Its two flagship locations sit at 645 Madison Avenue in New York City and on Chicago's Magnificent Mile at 600 North Michigan Avenue. Because the brand runs frequent sales, many shoppers find it pays to wait rather than buy the first piece at full price.
Richard Liebeskind opened the first Ann Taylor store in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1954. The name itself came from a best-selling dress at his father's store; his father passed both the dress and the name to him for good luck. Ann was chosen as a very New England name and Taylor for its tailored-clothing connotation.
Ownership has changed hands more than once. Ascena Retail Group acquired the parent company, Ann Inc., in a deal completed in 2015. After Ascena filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020, the Ann Taylor, Loft, Lou & Grey and Lane Bryant brands were sold in December 2020 to Premium Apparel LLC, an affiliate of private equity firm Sycamore Partners.
Yes. Ann Taylor Collections launched in 2007 as a luxury tier built with Italian-made fabrics and yarns, with craftsmanship and pricing above the regular range. There was also Ann Taylor Celebrations, a special-occasion collection of dyed-to-match dresses and accessories. Both lines have since been discontinued, so you'll only find them secondhand.
Ann Taylor has a loyal following partly because it caters well to petite shoppers and a range of body types, which is one reason its suiting gets recommended so often. The sibling Loft brand pushed further on inclusivity, offering its sizes from 00 up through 18 in lines such as Loft Maternity.
It did. In 2017 Ann Taylor launched a subscription rental service called Infinite Style, letting members rotate pieces rather than buy them outright. Loft followed in 2019 with Infinite Loft, a size-inclusive version of the same idea, aimed at shoppers who want to refresh a work wardrobe without committing to every piece.
