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!

Khakis and a dress shirt. If you want to go fancier, go to stichfix or something.

JC Penney and Kohl’s, in fact they used to be at exact opposite ends of the mall I used to go to (always was amusingly annoying having to get from one end to the other).

Isn’t Kohl’s like Marshalls where you have to search through all the clothes hoping yey have your size rather than having a selection of options and picking out your size? Always found it tedious digging through the randomness.

The one in the mall has different versions of each set of clothes all lined up.

https://a.co/d/h2pOn4t I’m obsessed with these pants from Amazon. They’re comfy like yoga pants but they look put together. I wear them with a body suit and a cardigan that hits around my waist or just above my hip bone. I hate picking out work outfits so I basically wear the same 5ish outfits on a rotation.

I have several colours of these. They are the best!

Uniqlo always has good, plain, affordable, business casual options.

Just checked it out. Thank you for this suggestion. Never heard of it before.

Guy here,

My woman and I agree that Uniqlo is outstanding for staples, Suprima Cotton T-shirts, etc, but not for showpieces. I’d be happy to have all my layers be Uniqlo, but I’d never buy a dress shirt or sports coat from them, the materials don’t line up in those items, lots of polyester, etc. They do offer free (or inexpensive?) hemming on their pants, which is fantastic.

I know there’s a fair amount of dislike for Shein, but my girlfriend and her daughters use it frequently and have been pretty highly satisfied so far. Also, Uniqlo.
