Where to buy work tops (Size 20/22)

14 replies

Can anyone suggest where I might buy some new tops for work?

I work in an office and usually wear black trousers/skirt + smart top (not shirt/blouse).

I usually get work stuff from M&S/Next but had a quick look and nothing jumping out at me on their sites.

Any other suggestions?

I am a size 20/22.

Anything here?

Also try very, they often have larger sizes

To tell the truth, I get most of my work tops from Uniqlo. They have a huge selection of three quarter and long sleeved T shirtsin a variety of necklines and colours. They look good, wash well and last for ages. I find their largest size covers my size 20/22 FF norks quite nicely.

slug I am loving Uniqlow! Washing well is a good sign, that's why I love M&S! Have not looked at their site before but I love plain/simple striped things

Looking at others now...

Boden does up to a size 22 now

PDR · 15/02/2010 16:09

ah, largest Uniglo size claims to be a 18 (XL) but maybe order a couple and see..... I am long in the body too which makes me need a larger size IYSWIM.

Boden is great for casual clothes but a bit "jazzy" for work...

Have you looked at Monsoon?

Most of their styles go to a 22

Monsoon tops here

MaineGirl · 16/02/2010 11:37

a 20/22 then monsoon, dorothy perkins, and most high street shops now do those sizes. evans is very hit and miss for nice clothing in nice fabrics.

I've bought tops from Very, New Look, Next, Evans even Tesco & Asda do tops in larger sizes now

PDR · 16/02/2010 14:10

Sorry couldn't get on until now as site was down last night.

tethersend - not after any specific style really, just sober enough for work! Not keen on fitted shirts/blouses due to my size really but anything else!

Monsoon is a great suggestion - thank you.

Not too keen on Very, New Look, Evans etc.

Ordered a couple from Kaliko too in a 22, never bought anything from them before so will have to see what the cut/quality is like.
