When it comes to corporate clothes, I find it’s about keeping things simple and practical, especially when juggling work and home life. Target and Kmart are surprisingly great for basics like blouses and pants that look polished without costing a fortune. If you’re after something a bit dressier, Portmans or Witchery often have really nice work dresses and blazers, and they hold up well, even after a busy day.

For something long-lasting, Cue and Veronika Maine are more expensive, but they’re worth it for a few key pieces like a good blazer or tailored pants. I also love having a little online browse on The Iconic—they’ve got so much variety, and you can do it with a cuppa when the kids are in bed.

Portmans. Otherwise I like forever new.
Country road or seed for more expensive.
Kmart and Target for basics

Country Road or Trenery have some nice things.
I generally go to Myer or David Jones and walk the floors

Try outlets and department stores as well as op shops that’s where I got most of mine.

Target has a really good range at affordable prices or i find witchery to be the best.

DFO outlets do have a range of corporate clothes at a reasonable price and good labels as well!

Does your employer have uniforms that are suitable for corporate wear?? Some places have good skirts and logo labelled blouses. They look really smart too. If they do they can recommend where to get them. Labelled uniforms you can claim an allowance for laundering them. If you have friends who wear corporate type wear ask them for recommend where you can get the type of clothing you need. A friend of mine had been unemployed for a few months then got a job which required corporate clothing. As she was really short of cash she went to a large op shop and found exactly what she needed. Some of them still had original shop tags on them. Others looked “as new”.

Second hand/charity shops often have preloved corporate wear in good condition.
Might be worth a search and look.

I agree with getting basics from Big W and Target.
Also – buying other pieces on sale from high end stores to add a little extra oomph!

I find stores like KMart, Target and even BigW have some nice and affordable clothes that would suit a corporate job

Factory outlet centres (if you’re near one) often have good clothes at a good price.
