Help me find an interview outfit!

For posh London nanny positions. I'm thinking the whole 'black trousers white shirt' thing. However I'm yet to find black trousers that don't attract every tiny stray hair and fibre so you end up looking like they're made of mohair! The shirt also needs to not be see-through, and somehow make me look as if I have boobs (I'm pretty much flat chested!) and yet magically streamline my size 14 tummy... Any recommendations? I'd like good quality, and could spend up to about £150 on the whole outfit.

I would think black trousers, white shirt would look like you’re going for a job in a restaurant not as a nanny. You want something a bit more fun and creative, some colour, whilst still being smart and practical

Culottes and a bright top with a jacket might be better.

I like to get on the floor if it’s appropriate to interact with the kids.

I have a bright cardigan and a fun necklace I was going to 'jazz it up' with. They're very swanky 'UHNW' families so I don't like to rock up in jeans the way I usually would!

I’ve went for similar positions in the past and I wore black high waisted cigarette trousers (Asos have loads), black flats and a floral blouse. Culottes with a shirt tucked in could work as well.
