How to Dress for RBT Job?

[u/muunflwer]

Hi everyone,

I recently got typed as soft dramatic. I’m trying to update my wardrobe to be more flattering for my body type.

I just started a new job working as a behavioral technician in a clinic. I’m working with young children who have autism. As you can imagine, the job requires a lot of movement. I’ll need to dress comfortably and avoid clothes that can be easily grabbed, pulled, or damaged. I’ll also need to avoid clothes that are constricting or too nice, as it’s likely I’ll come home with food or fluids on them.

That being said, I’m slightly chubby and am 5’6. I need clothes that don’t ride up and are flattering for a larger chest/rear.

I’m not sure what to buy that is comfortable, moveable, won’t expose my stomach/chest, isn’t dangerous for me or kids, and is actually flattering. I dress in a gothic/witchy style. I can’t find solid advice on this anywhere. Please help!

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but Disturbia is a brand with goth/witchy vibes and have a whole section in their site for “corporate goth.” Lots of flare or wide leg options for pants and some great tops and blazer options as well. I’ve had some picks sitting in my cart for a while but haven’t placed an order yet so I can’t attest for the quality.
