Where do you buy work suits from?

[foxinsocks]

just wondering

found one nice one at M&S but wasn't overwhelmed at their selection (didn't have much left in my size)

also complicated by the fact that I need trousers in short length (or petite) in size 12 but need the jacket to be full size because my back is longer so probably a size 14.

kew

I didn't know they did suits. Do they do short legged trousers?

can't get onto their website

how are the eyes (yours and ds)?

Unfortunately don't work, but would Zara be worth a look?

thanks

I have lots of shops nearby but a very low tolerance of shopping .

I want a military style outing with a Plan and the shortest possible time in the shops .

Do you really have to wear a suit - I think they are frumpy and stopped wearing them to work 5 years ago!

yes, I do really. I don't mind them but like them simple and not fussy.

There are so few options, aren't there, now that most people don't have to wear them to work?

I have got my last couple from Next. Ok, I know not marvellously long wearing, but pretty cheap and come in leg lengths (I am tall, so have opposite problem to you).

Jigsaw is a pricey option, but you'd probably need the trousers altered.

I would welcome ideas from any MNers out there too!

aah Next, I hadn't thought of them!

Marella make nice plain suits - you can get them in various dept stores. I always have to hem trousers so don't let it stop you!

In my dreams, Armani
IRL, M&S/Kaliko at John Lewis

I get my work clothes from Jigsaw, French Connection and Zara. Try Great Plains too, although I'm not sure if they have suits.

I don't really like Next generally, but I did get a linen suit from there for the summer.

thanks everyone

Planet and Austin Reed although went off the latter. When I got my first job in the city i splurged out on a lovely Ted baker suit which i wore loads and looked fantastic and lasted for ages.

Now work from home and wear jeans...I miss my suit days.

Depending on your budget, Hobbs?

Great Plains do suits. Difficult to tell though as on different pages in catalogue. Just jacket and skirts/trousers with same name

I know it's not the For Sale thread but I've got a lovely size 12 (with a fairly generous jacket) Nicole Farhi trouser suit I've been meaning to sell on ebay for ages. Shall I let you know when I get round to taking a pic and putting it on there?

Sorry, a bit cheeky, I know

What colour i the suit, i need some size 12 clothes ?

A nice dark chocolate brown.

Sorry, probably shouldn't have hijacked thread with this. Especially since I haven't got any pics yet and don't know what price I'm planning to ask for !
