What to wear at work never ending heatwave

31 replies

Whatheatwave · Yesterday 22:31

I've run out of clothes I can reasonably wear now in mid 30 degrees and having to go to the office 3 days per week.

I've been wearing short sleeve and 3/4 sleeve blouses with ankle length trousers or culottes. I need to look reasonably smart. I'm fat and need to lose weight and dresses from last year look like maternity wear. In the meantime I need some ideas please.

I found some lovely dressy sleeveless tops on Shein. Also consider wearing flowy skirts or summer dresses too.

With a couple of pairs of these trousers?

All cheap, cotton, a few colours in the trousers, could be clicked and collected from Sainsbury tomorrow?
I always think in a plain white shirt you look cool and put together even if it's really hot? And that double cloth is a loose, airy weave.

Worth having a good look at Tu. They seem to have a lot of good simple basics at the moment.

Thank you! Love Those culottes and I've seen those elsewhere for around 3-4 times the price.

I’ve got several really cheap , quite plain, but very serviceable dresses from there and they wash up fine - several were under£20!!

Yes I need some tops and cooler trousers!

Just been out to the shops and I couldn't find anything. I'm dreading next week as it seems the temperature will remain around 30 degrees.

Hi I work for Next, unfortunately we are now coming to the end of the summer season and replenishing stock with autumn/ winter, ( crazy in know) so alot of floaty stuff had been sold off.
