What women wear to work isn’t superficial. It can shape how they feel, how they are perceived, and how confidently they navigate the rooms where decisions are made.
In this episode of Retail Refined, Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Sali Christeson, founder and CEO of Argent, to explore how she built a workwear brand designed around the realities of ambitious women. Sali shares how her experiences in banking, technology, and corporate America revealed a category that had consistently treated working women as an afterthought—and inspired a mission to remove barriers through better product, stronger representation, and meaningful community.
They discuss why confidence is the true goal of Argent’s design process, how the brand remained committed to workwear even during the pandemic, and what Sali has learned from a decade of fundraising, opening stores, building teams, and protecting the integrity of the brand. The conversation also examines the evolution of workplace dress codes, the value of intergenerational connection, and why founders must remain deeply committed to the outcome they are working toward.
Because work isn’t going away—it’s evolving. And the brands built to support working women must evolve with it.
