No you're not alone. What I learned as a non-fashion person in a fashion world (including that time I got asked in a job interview if my handbag was "real")
I never wore a wrap dress or kitten heels - it was a black Cefinn skirt on repeat and pointy Pretty Ballerina flats for me... I quite miss my DMGT corporate look - but if I put it on now suspect it'd look like fancy dress !
Cefinn, fancy! I wore a black skirt pretty much daily for my first year - school uniform vibes. I kept my favourite blouse which I've never worn since but the rest ... farewell
My very good friend who used to mainline all the new deliveries at Matches in Wimbledon went for an interview which she did get at Chanel as HR director for the cosmetic side . During the interview her boss was talking about counterfeiting etc and at her feet she had a very expensive but counterfeit Hermes bag she had picked up in Puerto Banus the week before. When she left the interview she was trying to hide it in her jacket. It was gifted to my daughter straight after 😂
I don't work in fashion, but this whole idea of "what even is workwear now" is soo relatable that your take on this pretty much made me lol! Still trying to figure out if jeans are yay or nay...

My take on jeans is that they are generally too binding for WFH but too casual for my meetings. But v personal!
I think I’m in your same camp!
I dress around my Muji white tee-shirts with the odd sample sale purchase - that way I can mitigate the less for more phenomenon a little!
Chic! I would love to write one day about how men and women approach what they wear
maybe we could do a 'collab'
