Help me please you style and beauty experts.

After 2 years working from home, I now have an office based job. The environment is smart.

Since lockdown I have lost some weight. NONE of my previous work clothes fit me any more, although I am hoping to get 2 or 3 things that I love altered.

I've looked in loads of shops, can't find anything I like.

My previous go to would have been Hobbs, now finding no inspiration there at all.

I am mid 50s, a 10 to 12, quite tall, 5'9.

In terms of budget, I can go to about 150 for a dress or jacket, up to 100 for trousers.

I would be so grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Try Winser for dresses, or what about Sezane? They have great trousers and silk or cotton blouses, though not work dresses.

Have you considered Me+Em, Massimo Dutti, Whistles?

Cos or Arkett for shirts, plain tops, blazers

Boden's Richmond trousers

Cefinn or Goat (Jane Atelier) for dresses (although ££££)
