This navy suit Phase 8 looks good - I like the shape of the jacket with the bracelet length sleeves and the wide leg trousers.

For a top i'd wear a brand new white V-neck T-shirt. Silver or gold jewellery, smart black heels and possibly a print scarf.

Good luck!

(fitted T-shirt, keep the jacket on)

That's a very nice suit, Fauxfox.

I think wide legged trousers and cropped jacket is a good option if you don't want to wear a skirt. Although I am also a size 16 with rubbish legs and I wear skirts. I don't care Grin

Will look. What's your budget?

jacket 1- with wide leg black trousers and a thin black polo neck...

jacket 2 with black wide leg trousers and a cream scoop necked top...

jacket 3 with navy wide leg trousers and a cream cowl or scoop neck top...

jacket 4 with black wide leg trousers and black or green camisole/ scoop neck top...

Thanks for the replies Smile
I really like the phase 8 suit. I would love to wear skirts and dresses but paranoid about legs and don't think an interview is the best time to face this fear Grin
My budget is around £250 for everything but could maybe stretch a bit more

Have ordered phase 8 suit. I love navy and have a few Phase 8 items so know that they fit well. do you think black or navy shoes, will navy be too matchy?
Should really be worrying more about the presentation I have to do rather than fixating on my outfit, but this is far less stressful.

If you are going for a plain white top i'd be tempted by a colourful shoe...pink? Out of navy or black i'd go black.

I like tan with navy.
