Thanks to online shopping and affordable stores like Bonmarché, it is becoming less frustrating to find work clothes for women. Stores have listened to us mums and designed work clothes for women that are smart, affordable and comfortable enough to wear in pretty much any office environment, whether it is at home or in a corporate firm. And, even if we are still sporting that baby belly or packing an extra bit of weight after birth, clothes like Bonmarché’s fashionable and glamourous work clothes for women, can suit any age, height and shape.
I have come up with 21 affordable work clothes for women that I would wear myself and listed them below.

Tops/Shirts
Spot Print Blouse
The Spot Print Blouse is a classic, yet smart enough to wear to work. The floaty blouse covers up the lumps and bumps while the cuffed blouson sleeves provide a feminine touch to the look. The all-over white polka dots playfully contrast against the sleeker black shoulder and sheer lace panels. Tuck the blouse into a pencil skirt or smart black trousers and finish off the look with understated heels.
