New career, new wardrobe - advice please!

[Freshstartin24]

After 15 years of wearing uniform in the NHS I’m starting a completely new career in May.

All very exciting and positive, but I have absolutely no idea where to buy work clothes beyond good old m&s.

I’m very almost 40, a size 12 and 5’8”. My new job has a “professional” dress code - ie. suits or nice dresses with jacket over type style.

Any advice on shops/brands would be great. Thank you!

Congratulations, hope all goes well with your new career!

It may be worth taking a look at: Arket, Sezane, Reiss, Massimo Dutti, Cos

I like Brand Alley for bargains.

Perhaps book a free appointment with John Lewis:

This video is quite old, but gives links to pieces that could make up a work capsule wardrobe:

Congratulations!

The post above covers a good deal of ground. I’d only add that it’s worthwhile taking a regular look at

https://www.collagerie.com/en-gb/

as they’re really good at picking out some of the best items available at any price point, and introducing you to brands you may not be familiar with.
