Congratulations on the new job! I suggest looking for clothes in the brands you like on places like eBay. If you click on a piece you like, they will often suggest brands with a similar vibe/look. Be careful, it can be a real rabbit hole!

My favourite work look is a really smart blouse with tailored trousers. Many of them I have bought from eBay/vinted/vestiaire collective - my favourite brand is ba&sh but I’ve also been turned on to Sandro, Sezane and similar brands. I have quite the collection now!

Good luck and happy shopping.

Try vinted - eBay is not great right now.

I like some boden, whistles, me+em, Sandro, Oliver Bonas, Hush

set your searches on vinted for
Jigsaw
me&em
joseph
maxmara/marella
rixo (for blouses - dresses are great but not v workwear)
ceffinn
Equipment (silk shirts)
the kooples

agree with pp that tailored trousers (I love wide leg me&em and have had a couple of bargains off vinted) with a shirt or blouse is a great ‘uniform’
