Work clothesI imagine some of you prefer a similar style to me in the workplace, so I thought I'd ask you where to find the best clothes. Right now, I wear polos and khaki-like pants to work, but I want to wear something a bit more dressy than a polo. Everything in department stores seems way to feminine for me, and I'm short and squat, so I can't really do men's clothes either. Where you do semi-masculine ladies buy your work clothes?

You could get a mens button up shirt but get a small enough size for you that will be tight so that it is semi-feminine but not too bad.

The problem I run into with that is not knowing my measurements, which is how a lot of men's Oxfords are sized. I also run into the problem of arm length and having to tuck stuff in.

Its extra $, but you may be able to get them altered.
Luckily I wear scrubs to work, so it's just an issue of picking a color.

Damnit, I didn't know you were a doctor, not a miracle worker.

Lol @freman.
While I know it was a cute lil joke, I feel the need to clarify that No I'm not a MD.
Pantsy let us know if you ever find a solution.

I went to Kohl's yesterday and got some pretty nice men's polos (Sonoma and Croft & Barrow). They definitely look better on me than women's polos. I'm pretty happy with my purchases. Kohl's also carries Dockers, so I was able to get some pants sized for women that are pretty androgynous. My only complaint about ladies' slacks are the tiny or non-existent back pockets. That's where I keep my wallet!

I just wanna agree about the girls' pockets. As if girls don't need pockets

I will not buy pants if they don't have back pockets. Most of my pants have really shallow ones, but I can fit my wallet in them if I just turn it sideways.
