New work wardrobe needed!

5 replies

CoffeeMummy · 16/07/2012 21:42

I have a new job - yay! I start mid-August and need to get some work clothes. It's been years since I needed properly smart work clothes and most recently have been working from home, so it's been jeans and trainers all the way!

So the new job is in public relations, it's part-time so I don't need loads, but in terms of smart clothes for office-wear I literally only have my interview suit!

I don't want to go down the 'corporate suit' line, and I'm really not comfortable feeling too 'gussied up' IYKWIM?! I'm looking for some outfits which will be stylish, comfortable, reasonably colourful - kind of smart-casual, but with more emphasis on the smart...

Like, trousers - where can I get some nice, non-shiny, straight leg trousers that I could wear with some decent heels and a nice top?

I tried raiding the Next sale, but most of the bits I found all looked a bit frumpy or flouncy.

Any advice oh style gurus of MN??

slim fit trousers

These are fab. Modern slim fit, wash well, go with everthing.
