Dress for Success: Flatter Your Body Shape Now!
Share
Power dressing is more than sharp suits and bold colours—it’s the art of using clothing to communicate confidence, authority, and self-respect. For many women, it’s also about feeling comfortable in your own skin, knowing that your outfit celebrates your unique shape rather than hiding it.
At Seyi Attires, power dressing for women isn’t about forcing your body into trends—it’s about finding the cuts, colours, and fabrics that make you feel unstoppable. Whether you’re a UK size 10 or 22, you deserve outfits that make you walk into any room like you belong there.
Why Body Shape Matters (But Not in the Way You Think)
Knowing your body shape isn’t about limiting what you “should” wear—it’s about understanding proportion and balance so you can highlight your favourite features. The most common shapes are:
- Hourglass – Balanced shoulders and hips with a defined waist.
- Pear – Narrower shoulders with fuller hips and thighs.
- Apple – Fuller midsection with slimmer legs.
- Rectangle – Shoulders, waist, and hips in similar width.
- Inverted Triangle – Broader shoulders with narrower hips.
Outfits for Body Shapes: A Quick Guide
Hourglass:
Fitted dresses and belted blazers are your best friend. They accentuate your waist without overwhelming your natural curves. Try a tailored Ankara wrap dress for both work and after-hours events.
Pear:
Balance your silhouette by drawing the eye upward—think structured shoulders, bold prints on top, and darker, solid tones on the bottom. An Ankara blouse with a neutral pencil skirt works beautifully.
Apple:
Opt for structured jackets and V-necklines to elongate your torso. A shift dress in a vibrant Ankara print can create balance while keeping you comfortable.
Rectangle:
Create definition with peplum tops, belted dresses, and layered outfits. An Ankara skirt with a tucked-in blouse adds shape and sophistication.
Inverted Triangle:
Soften your upper half with rounded necklines and highlight your lower half with A-line skirts or wide-leg trousers. An Ankara midi skirt balances proportions perfectly.
The Seyi Attires Approach to Size Inclusive Power Dressing
Too often, size inclusive power dressing is treated as an afterthought. Many brands design for one body type and simply “scale up” the measurements, which rarely works for real women’s proportions.
At Seyi Attires, we design each piece from scratch in sizes 10–22, adjusting seams, darts, and hemlines so every size looks just as intentional as the next. The result? Garments that fit well, feel great, and exude the same polished energy regardless of size.
How to Add Confidence to Your Workwear
- Invest in Tailoring – A well-fitted jacket can change how you stand, move, and even speak.
- Play with Colour – Bold colours aren’t just for extroverts; they’re for women who want to be seen.
- Quality Over Quantity – A few well-made pieces will always outshine a closet full of “just okay” clothes.
- Signature Accessories – A statement necklace, silk scarf, or bold heels can become part of your personal power look.
Confidence: The Final Layer
The truth is, even the most perfectly cut outfit can’t replace self-assurance. But the right clothing can help you find that assurance and amplify it. That’s the essence of confidence in workwear: knowing that your clothes support you, not distract you.
When you dress with intention, you send a clear message—to yourself and to the world—that you’re here to make things happen.
