In desperate need of new work wear. Help please.

[SeriousFaffing]

Hi all,

I have just achieved a promotion and I’m in desperate need of new workwear as I’m feeling quite raggedy.

Looking for smart/casual with occasional smarter days. Love Sezane and the French look in general, but don’t have Sezane money at this moment.

I’d saved the Uniqlo AirSense trousers after someone recommended on here as I loved their high waist shape, but clearly left it too long as they’re now sadly totally sold out.

Any and all recommendations/pointers appreciated.

There's a fair bit of Sezane on Vinted; have you checked there?

I work in a smart-casual workplace and my basic uniform is a good silk or cotton shirt (I also love Sezane), a pair of good jeans, and Converse or good flats(loafers, brogues; I don't care for ballet flats but they are in right now). A decent pair of dark wide-legged trousers will do you well and be versatile; m&s has decent options for not much money.

I bought these recently for work, and very happy with them:

Arket wool twill trousers (with a 25% off discount code)

Cider linen blend maxi skirt

If you like Sezane but want something more affordable, it's worth checking out the archives. I got this recently:

It hasn't arrived yet so can't recommend it.
