I’ve mid-30s and need some help! I’ve got two young children and between maternity leave, then the pandemic, then being pregnant again and another maternity leave, I have barely been in the office for four years. My current maternity leave is drawing to a close and I am due back into the office in London at least a couple of days a week soon. I have no idea what to wear.
My office used to be semi-formal in terms of clothes I guess. We deal with a lot of lawyers, bankers etc. Before the pandemic, I wouldn’t have worn a suit, but instead maybe a nice shift dress or something. And often heels for external meetings, although usually flats in the office.
I feel like the rules for office wear have totally changed since the pandemic. I want to buy some new clothes and shoes. But I have no idea what to choose or where to start. And very little time to search.
I am tall and slim. Size 7/8 shoes. Mid-30s. I’ve always liked clothes, but currently spent my days in jeans and baggy wool jumpers. I do like midi dresses but feel maybe it’s a trend that has passed?
What are people wearing in the City? Does anyone have any good outfits to suggest? any help would be appreciated!
