Workwear for short people

I’m looking for suggestions! I’m 5’2” and size 10 most places, I need work wear as they want us in the office more often and I also have a couple of trips coming up. I’m struggling to find anything I like!

It’s not a super corporate industry, academia-related, and I need to strike the balance between professional and approachable. I usually wear retro trainers and dresses.

I like shops like mint velvet, Anthropologie, Oliver bonas. I like midi skirts and don’t like fuss or flounces. Puff sleeves are a disaster on me as I carry all my weight in my top half. Turn-of-the-millennium emo kid still lives in my heart.

Please throw me suggestions!

ASOS petite?

Anything in particular though? I’ve spent so long scrolling through different shops and apps I can’t figure out what to look at.

So do you mean more like

Palava?

or

Community Clothing?

If you wanted to spend more (or shop pre-owned) the ultimate fuss free, last forever dressing would be:

Margaret Howell

The MHL stuff is scarcely more expensive than the High St shops you mention.
