Lost my job, need advice to find impressive interview outfit.

my current work have just told me regrettably they need to let me go. Its quite sudden and the first time I've lost a job. I've already started applying for a new job but I'm older and fatter then before and could do with some help with a suitable look.

I'm a 12-14 broad shoulders, ok waist and big legs. I usually wear high waisted trousers and nice fitted top but a dress could work too. Colours, deep jewel colours or darker geometric patterns. No pink or flowers.

The job is in landscape design so needs to be professional but with an edge/creative flair.

Help!!

As you haven’t yet specified a budget, thought I’d throw this into the ring. Might be rather impressive with either long boots or trousers.

Or this dress?

Presumably this is a geometric pattern? Not sure.

There’s a black and white knee length silk dress further up on the Dresses page - intriguing but perhaps too frivolous for your purpose.

Wrong link, sorry! Meant this:

Obviously you wear something simple w sleeves under the waistcoat! Don't style like the photo!

Have you looked at The fold london?

I’d love an excuse like yours to buy something from there!
