Professional attire for hourglass figures

strikes

I've been reading alot about what I'm supposed to wear to suit my petite hourglass frame... but all of it sounds terribly unprofessional and overly provocative! I am an attorney, who must wear either suits or clothing that could be transformed into court-ready with a jacket at all times

What kinds of professional attire will look good on me?

Hourglasses look great in bussines professional clothes, the fit and the structure of the suits is perfect for our body shape, just use jackets fitted on the waist and you'll look lovely.

hope this links with examples work:

my advice is: a nice professional suit taylored suit and then show you creativity with nice accessories and shoes, grey suit and yellow pumps, navy suit and red pumps.

I've had good luck with pencil skirts that end at the knee and nice, tailored jackets that leave room for the bust... some brands don't do this, forcing you to go up a size to accommodate the bust, but I hate doing this. Even if you have the jacket tailored at the waist, they never fit correctly in the shoulders. The brands that work for me are Ben Sherman and United Colors of Benetton. I also tend to like some smaller Italian and Canadian brands.

Sheath dresses with matching blazers would be perfect, too.

A business formal work capsule sounds right up your alley. Match suits with structured knit tops, silky blouses or button downs, fun heels, belts and strong accessories.
