Interview clothes help!!!

PlanningOnLeavingTeaching · 29/01/2026 15:00

OK. I'm a teacher who is in the process of leaving teaching.

I don't have anything suitable to wear for an interview! And I desperately need some help.

I'm 5'3 and a size 12. Quite hourglass so I usually wear wrap style dresses or 50s style skirt and stretchy tops. I find that trousers don't really fit on both my hips and my waist at the same time!

Straight skirts don't really suit me and shirts with collars make me look awful.

I'm only at the applying stage at the moment but I don't have a clue what to.wear and could really do with some help! It's just one more thing to think about at the moment.

I won't be looking at corporate roles so this really.will just be interview wear.

I'd also rather not spend a fortune!

Any suggestions?

I would say a wrap dress would be fine for an interview. Get a jacket to go over it if you want to be much smarter. But offices have got a lot more casual over the years.
