"I Needed New Work Clothes — and Realised High Street Sizing Was Out to Get Me (Until I Found Tellar.co.uk)"
Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025
A new job, a new office, a new excuse to buy some cute work clothes.Honestly, I was excited.
Blazers.Smart trousers.Button-up blouses that said "I’m organised" — even if my inbox said otherwise.
I thought it would be easy.I was wrong.
Shopping for Workwear: Day 1
I started with the classics — H&M and Mango.They always have nice work basics, right?
I grabbed my usual size 10 in trousers.
Reality check:I couldn't even pull them up past my thighs.
Ok, fine. Maybe I was imagining things.I sized up to a 12.
Better... except now the waistband gaped like I was trying on my dad’s pants.

Blazers Are the Ultimate Betrayal
On to Zara for blazers.I grabbed a size M, thinking I was playing it safe.
It looked amazing... until I tried to move my arms.Apparently Zara designs their blazers for people who don't believe in lifting coffee cups.
Tried a size L — sleeves too long, waist too baggy.Cool cool cool, I thought, internally screaming.

Fitting Room Meltdown (Corporate Edition)
After an hour of squeezing, shimmying, and side-eyeing my reflection, I realized:This wasn’t about my body.This was about sizing chaos across brands.
Every shop uses their own weird rules.One brand's Medium is another brand’s XS.High street sizing is basically fan fiction.
Then I Found Tellar.co.uk — The Workwear Lifesaver

Scrolling through my phone in a coffee shop (desperately Googling "why don’t clothes fit anymore"), I found tellar.co.uk.
