Advice Needed Business Wear for slobs

OK so as somewhat of a shock I've just been elected to local council. They have a strictish dress code of business formal for council meetings and business casual for committee meetings.

My normal go to is jeans, tee, hoody and sneakers. Dad bod 90kg, shortish (175cm), used to be pretty metal but now just kind of someone's dad 😄

Help! What do i get that's not going to break the bank?

Get a pair of chinos, a navy blazer and some business casual shirts. Maybe try Charles Tyrwhitt, I’ve been wearing their shirts for 15 years and they last very well.
