Help...does a flattering white polo shirt exist??

...I'm starting a new job soon and the uniform is black trousers with white polo shirt. I have some straight leg joggers...fine. I've tried 2 brands of loose fit polo shirt and they are awful on me. I'm overweight with quite a significant c section overhang. I'm working on this but it's not going to improve overnight. I'm petite, size 16, large bust and tummy, narrow shoulders. The polo shirts I've tried cling in all the wrong places and if I size up they still cling, but the shoulders are ridiculous. Help! I want to feel confident starting this job, but I feel so self-conscious. Maybe a more structured trouser would help also??

I'd also have a look at something to go under your polo shirt. M&S do a lightweight bodysuit (you can still wear a bra underneath it) that is good for smoothing bumps and also preventing that gap if you lift your arms.

Either that or a camisole style vest top might help. Sadly white tops are not always the most forgiving.

Have you tried ones cut for women with curves?

polo ignore the picture, they do plain white.

Another one too long maybe

Thanks...I did see this one but £45 each and I will need at least 2/3. I may just have to go for it though, as may be worth it to feel confident

That's a good idea, thanks I'll have a look.

The links I posted were polo shirts for £17 and £22.99 each?
