NEW JOB!!! what to wear?!

theg81der

Hi! Got new job starting Monday (*woohoo*) not sure what to wear. The other people there are all casual but they`re more hands on, I`m the only one who`s offic based and professional.

They don`t have any problem with whatever way I dress but obviously I would like to look professional but be comfortable. Thinking smart casual would love some ideas. I`m a size 14. Husband thinks suit but might be a bit much, what do you think?

Congrats on the new job!

I would say for the first few days anyway stay a bit conservative. A pair of black trousers/skirt and a blouse or nice top would do if you don't want to be over formal with a suit or too casual with jeans or the likes! You can take it from there once you get a better feel for the place.

Firstly Congratulations on your new job

I don't think a full suit would be necessary but as you're working in an office. I would go for smart casual. Skirts with a nice top, trousers with a crisp white shirt, dresses are always excellent and can be paired with a matching jacket for a more professional look. Next is great for work wear,

Reiss and Karen Millen are also good options but more expensive.
