P.S I call these “Outfit Recipes”.

Technically the fashion world might call it a “formula” but I prefer “recipe” because I like to cook and I don’t like math. Just like cooking, you can tweak the ingredients to suit your taste and still end up with something you love. So throughout this post, I’ll use both terms- but just know when I say, ” Outfit Recipe”, I mean your signature confidence boosting look!

What Is a Confidence Outfit Formula?

It’s Your Personal Power Look

Your Confidence Outfit Formula is a personalized style blueprint– a reliable mix of clothing, silhouettes, and accessories that make you feel unstoppable.

Examples of Confidence Outfit Recipes:

Align with Your Lifestyle

Confidence isn’t about getting dressed up– it’s about dressing in alignment. If you don’t feel at ease in what you’re wearing, it’s hard to exude confidence. Your outfit should reflect who you are and how you are living.

Ask Yourself:

• What fabrics and fits feel best on your body?
• What do I need to feel both comfortable and confident?
• How can I create an outfit rec I can repeat?

How to Build Your Confidence Outfit Formula

Step 1: Identify Your Power Pieces

Your power pieces are the items in your wardrobe that instantly boost your confidence. They fit perfectly, flatter your shape, and make you feel like the most polished version of yourself.

✅ Action Steps:

• Go through your closet and pull out the outfits that make you feel amazing.
• Identify common elements—do you love structured pieces, bold colors, or sleek silhouettes?
• Take note of the shoes, accessories, and details that complete your confidence look.

Step 2: Choose a Signature Silhouette

Every woman has a silhouette that works best for her body shape and personal style. The right proportions create a balanced, flattering look that makes you feel powerful.

Are you best in A-line dresses? High rise Trousers? Cinched waist blazers?

✅ Action Steps:

• Identify what shapes make you feel your best (fitted blazers, A-line dresses, high-waisted pants, etc.).
• Experiment with different outfit proportions (loose + fitted, structured + flowy, monochrome vs. color-blocking).
• Once you find your best silhouette, build variations of that outfit formula.

The final step in creating your confidence outfit formula is adding the details that make an outfit feel intentional. Accessories, shoes, and grooming play a big role in elevating your look.

✅ Action Steps:

• Pick a go-to accessory (statement earrings, layered necklaces, a signature belt, etc.).
• Choose a shoe style that adds polish (sleek boots, classic pumps, stylish flats).
• Ensure your grooming matches your style—a great hairstyle or bold lipstick can make all the difference.
