Warm office wear

[princesspeach23]

I'm looking for warm office wear recommendations must be business wear and warm!! Nothing too expensive and not small sizes!

How about some thin thermals and wear that underneath your regular work wardrobe? Uniqlo heatteach is supposed to be excellent and the tops are smart enough to be workwear I reckon.

I agree I buy heatgen for M&S and wear under sleeveless wool shift dresses and merino tights. I also have jersey blazers and collarless jackets that I am comfortable in all day. If you can find lined wool trousers let me know.

I have some knitted skirts (from the pure collection sale) that are like sitting with a blanket on my lap but maybe not smart enough for business wear although I can dress them up.

I think HotSquash has warm fabrics but I have never bought from them.

Also can you buy a heater?

oh my office is like a fridge! is merino wool itchy? I can't bear wool normally but I need to find something warmer than a cotton long-sleeve t shirt under my blouse

Mountain Warehouse has some merino base layers on offer at the moment. Just managed to get some with 10% off for first order and they seem to be doing a free delivery offer that ends today.

Personally, I can't wear merino (or mohair). Its not as bad as wool, but its not a feeling I like.
Uniqlo or M&S thermals with a blouse/top over and then a jacket or jersey blazer, trousers with thermal leggings under or skirt and thick tights, long boots if you can get away with them. Wear a smart scarf.
A blanket over your lap if you are behind a desk would help

Thanks all lots of great ideas
