Just that really. She doesn’t wear skirts as says her legs are fat (they’re not). She’s a curvy size 8/10 and 5’ 4. She does not want to spend lots of money as is a uni student going on a year placement. She’s bought one blue suit from M&S and some lace up shoes. Needs tops. But wants /needs smart business clothes that are good for a twenty year old. Any links would be amazing! Thank you.

Business wear in my industry (tech) is jeans and a T-shirt or a casual dress. If she’s in a more casual industry she’ll feel out of place if she dresses too formally, so it would be helpful to know the industry.

Is there definitely a dress code? I mean, I’ve worked for businesses for ever and have never had a dress code, I rock up in jeans and trainers most of the time.

(Sixth forms having a business wear dress code is the dumbest thing ever.)
