    Hi just wondering what do ye normally wear to work?

    I'm in Cork and am trying to find nice fitting yet as cheap shirts any idea where to look? I'm a size 6-8 so like to have something not too tight at the chest but that also fits my waist.

    Thanks :)

    on the subject of work clothes, how would people here define 'smart casual' for women? I'm starting a new job with this dresscode on tuesday - I'm opting for trousers, flat boots, a shirt and a top? also a coat and a bag.

    That's fine, smart casual usually excludes jeans, tshirts with logos, vest tops etc.

    Trousers, boots, shirt and top are fine.

    Smart casual is trousers/skirt (maybe knee length) with a shirt, or cardigan, or long sleeved top. If you go into H & M, they have a lot of nice "work" type clothes, so do Dunnes. Actually I can't believe how much Dunnes clothes have improved the past few years, they used to be dud-o-rama but now they have some pretty nice stuff :)

    Awear do nice cheap shirts. Saw a pink one that I fancied for work the other day. Beware though, their work trousers can be very random fits

    suits are perfect for a work wardrobe as all you need is a top or shirt underneath and you're ready to go. you always look neat and smart in a suit. h&m usually have a great range, next are good too but a little older maybe.

    dresses are great for summer with a jacket over. h&m are usually good for dresses.

    pencil skirts and cardigans. a wear usually have ideal knit wear for work. savida is also quite good.

    I like to keep my work wardrobe simple as I'm quite small.
