I am transitioning from a healthcare job where my daily uniform is scrubs to a professional office setting. While I do have some outfits that qualify as business casual, I need to expand my wardrobe. I generally dislike shopping in general. Any specific websites or retailers you suggest? Already exploring Amazon and Zappos. Thanks in advance!

Gap, because their regular length clothing runs taller than most other brands.

Thrift stores can also be good but yes, that means some heavy shopping.

What style are you aiming for? Can you wear jeans or is it more a "slacks and heels" version of business casual?

[–] Jaxia@toast.ooo 5 points 1 year ago

No jeans. Just the usual pants/blouse. I don't do heels...well at least not high ones. Must be comfortable.

Express has great tall business slacks! I haven't tried their tops though. Always trying to find places that sell tall clothes.

I'm just the opposite. Short legs. Normal person's capris are like regular pants for me 🤣

You might do fine with Amazon then, the Asian sizing never works for me because even if I order an XL (S/M in or Small Tall US sizing, usually L/XL Asian) they don't fit, too short in every way. But it's so great for petites who are usually having to hem everything. And will save you from having to go to the store (I hate that too) .
