If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Where do you buy your work clothes?

My work shirts are provided, but I get black trousers from Next and more recently Matalan, and cropped trousers from New Look.

Next.

The Next sale is best for nabbing a cheap but decent suit, but you'll get a nice pair of trousers and blouse fairly cheap any time of year.

i'm so lazy, all my office wear is from primark I think, with a couple of H&M dresses. I just cant tell the difference in quality for work skirts (I dont do trousers, it reminds me of school eww), everywhere feels cheap to me unless you're looking at spending £40 up on stuff and I really dont care (or earn) enough. I wouldn't bother with a suit unless its expected to be honest, just get some decent skirts and blouses and 3/4 cheap cardies to mix and match.

Mango do great smart stuff, not cheap though. Apart from that I'd agree with Zara and H&M.

Next is great too...but I live abroad so can't shop there anymore :frown:

Select work wear is depends on your work means what types of works you have do and which place. For all your work wear you can go at workwear express store, which also offers online services that can save your time as well as money.

Most of the people like wearing only professional clothes in office.
It is very complicated to search a good website for buying clothes for wearing in workplace. Top places from where you can buy stylish and affordable clothes to wear at work place are:-
J Crew
Nordstrom
Ann Taylor
Macy's
Piperlime
BlueFly
Target

My top tip for all you graduates is to work out what suits you (i.e. your colouring, your body shape and proportions) before you spend any of you csh on work clothes. Once you know what suits you it will be must easier to shop for the right clothes.

There's a Next outlet which I went to in Swindon with really cheap work clothes.

Other than that, Zara has some nice pieces as well. H&M has nice dresses, and there's a website called lightinthebox.com which has really reasonably priced unique pieces. Make sure to read the reviews on the sight to see what you're getting though.

As someone who works for next - I'd advise looking at where your nearest next clearance store is - as well as having things on sale they also do a 'special purchase' range. It's stuff very similar to the mainline next but at around half the price if not more but the same materials so it's just as good quality. I would definitely recommend! Also, if they don't have your size in store ask at the tills if it's available to order - they can order it on next day delivery into the store for you to pick up for free if your size is in stock.

Haven't bought clothes in a while but when I do I like to get vintage pieces up in east London or charity shops in general. (I once got brand new £90 shoes for 4 quid!) But normally for tops and stuff tkmaxx h&m or primark mostly.

H&M all day long.

Forever 21 is great for inexpensive, nice office clothing! It's not frumpy but at the same time doesn't fall into the trap of everything being super short/low cut etc.
