Plus sized London office wear help!

89 replies

Hopeandmoss · 17/03/2024 08:04

I have had an online interview for a job which is home based with commutes to head office in London a few times per month. I have never worked in London and have no idea what people wear. Job is in the charity sector so I think dress code will be fairly flexible. I will be getting the train in and then a short walk to the office. As a short, plus sized
26 can anyone recommend any outfits / shops. I have a budget of £500 for clothes so would like some good quality items and flat shoes!

@OnHerSolidFoundations had not thought of Vinted and love some of these ideas the black dress with the pink flowers is very similar to a velvet monsoon one I love!

Surprisingly River Island Plus was nice, I had some lovely satin shirts from them. I also used to love Mango, particularly for accessories and trousers. Vero Moda Curve was great when it was Junarose and it looks like they still have nice pieces.

I often check vinted before I buy something. Often people selling brand new stuff on there for 1/2 price.

You can filter by size, shop, brand new with tags etc. I 💛 it!

@jay55 i like the blue phase 8 dress but I worry when I see a 6ft plus size 8 model what it will look like on a 5ft 2 size 26! I will have a look what the size chart says and the returns policy!!!

Phase 8 have a plus sized collection that's good for work wear. Live unlimited is also good.
