The #1 Style Mistake Sabotaging Women Attorneys (and the Fix)

The Mistake That Sabotages Style

The number one mistake I see women attorneys make?

Wearing clothes that do not fit their body shape.

Not just size wise, but shape wise.

You could wear a twelve hundred dollar designer blazer, but if the cut is wrong for your body, you will still feel off balance. And when you do not feel confident, it shows, especially in high stakes environments like courtrooms and boardrooms.


A Real Client Example

One of my clients had just started at the city attorney’s office. She was brilliant, but she felt like an imposter. Her wardrobe did not reflect her authority, and she often looked younger than her age.

The problem? She did not know how to dress for her petite hourglass shape.


The Transformation

After identifying her body type and style aesthetic, which was classic and minimalist, I curated a wardrobe that:
• Highlighted her waist
• Flattered her petite frame
• Projected polished, powerful energy

Now she walks into court like she owns it.


Why This Matters

Style is not just about clothes. It is about stepping into the most powerful version of yourself.

When your wardrobe is aligned with your body shape and personality, your confidence shifts. And that shift is visible to everyone around you, from partners to judges to clients.


The Takeaway

Your wardrobe is not just fabric. It is strategy.

When you stop forcing your body into the wrong shapes and start dressing for it, you stop feeling like an imposter and start looking like the authority you already are.
