Turned 30 this year and now have an office job where I have to look smart.

I normally shop in New Look, H&M & ASOS. Recently I'm struggling to find stuff I like in New Look and ASOS. Love H&M still.

I want to dress a bit more classy with hemlines that are a bit lower as everything feels so short!

Please help!

I'm 34 and I work in a management role in a fairly laid-back environment where lots of people wear jeans but some also wear suits. I shop in Zara, Massimo Dutti, Uniqlo, Muji, and sometimes COS. I do tend to buy my most stand-out pieces from boutique sort of places though.

This season I'm wearing a lot of fitted boot-cut corduroy pants, nice tops from Massimo, and smart wool cardigans from the men's side of Uniqlo. I'm also wearing knitted dresses from Muji, and knitted co-ords (matching skirts and tops). I'm wearing knitted midi skirts with tonal sweaters - they have a couple of co-ords and knitted skirts in Uniqlo, although mine aren't from there. I wear my work stuff with either slip-on brown leather clogs or clog-type boots with rivets, both from Clarks in previous seasons. Most of my stuff is brown or grey toned.

My hair is very light blonde with a subtle tint of blue, so I don't look like a grandma. I look smart without looking over the top. I work in a university, so I can really riff off that retro professor vibe.

I wore a blazer the other day for an important event. I'm not doing it again. Fuck blazers, quite frankly. They don't suit me. They also seem to be part of street style at the moment, and half the students seem to be wearing them, so they don't exactly signify much any more.

Thank you! I live in Devon so not much choice shop wise. Will get online and have a look.
