Rotating out the tees is BRILLIANT. I get so annoyed when they stop looking fresh, but just planning on that to happen is so smart!

I am a 12-14 in tops (ish) and at AYR in the “Deep End” I mostly go between L and XL because I like the oversized fit (XL definitely oversized). I easily wore M when I was more 10-12 and honestly that one still fits. The sizing of the rest of their stuff is less flexible, the Deep End shirt is particularly forgiving.

I have now been going to the office for a year post-pandemic, and I have to be relatively dressy (I wear a jacket) 1-3 days a week. I LOVE the AYR shirts that Grace recommended. LOVE. I have bought them in multiple sizes (M, L, XL) for different levels of over-sized-ness. My **dry cleaner** noticed because I picked up the green stripe while wearing the pink stripe. 🙁 I ALSO love the Veronica Beard blazer. I didn’t want to love it, given the price tag, but it was so good that I bought a second one. Also, the last time you posted about workwear, Grace, a friend of yours (I forget who!) recommended blazers from Sezane, which are a bit cheaper. I have Christie in about 4 colors now!! Thank you for this recommendation!! https://www.sezane.com/us/product/christie-jacket/blue-flowers. (Apparently this brand is problematic, which I am choosing to ignore, which is privilege.) Lastly! I’ve had good luck with slim black pants from J Crew: https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/pants/slim/cameron-slim-crop-pant-in-four-season-stretch/G8547. I size up so they aren’t too tight. I will say it seems to depend on the fabric/color/season, because I’ve had to return a grey pair where the fabric wasn’t as good and the sizing was off, but black has been consistent. These are good for days when jeans do not seem like the right option.
