“The thing I was most worried about when going for job interviews with my old wardrobe was I just didn't feel confident in my jackets. I didn't feel like they fit me, but I felt like that was what I had to wear to be professional, and I just felt like they made me look like a box.”
So what can you substitute a work blazer with if it simply doesn’t work on you? Or if you’d like a bit more variety in your work wardrobe?
Here are 7 ideas:
1. A top, which is made out of a “suiting” fabric, but isn’t a blazer:
