Question
I work as an executive assistant to the MD in a large corporation and need to look businesslike and corporate but find this extremely difficult in the hot and steamy weather. Do you have any suggestions on what I can wear that is both cool and businesslike? I am also a plus size.

Answer
To avoid being stitched up in the classic suit and shirt, try some other combinations.
Replace the shirt with some comfortable and modern knitwear, there are so many different shapes and colours available. Perfect for the office with your suit skirt or even a pretty print skirt. Add a silk scarf, beads or pendant to complete the look. This will still look smart but be comfortable and cooler on hot days.
These stores specialise in plus sizes and offer many great options for work wear. Don’t be afraid to ask the shop assistants for help selecting styles that are appropriate for your shape and work, that’s what they are there for after all!
