How do Lawyers Dress? — Susan Schalla Shares Her Secret

Armoire Boss Lady Power, Everything, Meet Our Members armoire for all, female lawyer, susan schalla, what to wear

At Armoire, we’re casting a spotlight on some of the notable, powerful women in our community, and what being a boss lady means to them. Read on to learn all about business attorney and Armoire member, Susan Schalla, as we ask her ‘how do lawyers dress?’


Her Story

Past. Grew up in a small town on Whidbey Island and left to study and work in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York before coming back to the Seattle area.

I turn to Armoire for high-quality clothes that help me look polished but also stand out from the crowd.

What’s your style?

My work style is classic attorney but with a feminine touch. Lots of pink! I like to bring a punch of color into the workplace. I like dresses with some structure to them, and my favorites have a fit-and-flare silhouette. I also like to pair classic black pants with a floral or flow-y blouse. I turn to Armoire for high-quality clothes that help me look polished but also stand out from the crowd.

Where do you see the fashion industry going?

I see more people getting behind the idea of renting their high-quality clothes rather than buying them individually. A lot of people have clothes hanging in their closets that they never wear, and they keep them out of guilt, shame, or inertia. It’s time to simplify our closets and clear our minds, without feeling like “I have nothing to wear.”

What’s your get sh*t done mode?

[I] wake up early and get it done before anyone else is around to interrupt. [I also] mentor and train others who can help, so I can delegate!

Loved this. The length was perfect.

Gorgeous print!


Her Favorite Print

Keeping this longer (wearing it today and sooooo many compliments). It makes me feel like a lady 🙂

It was a good length and fit. I don’t typically wear that neck line but I liked it.

The pattern and detailing was fun, but still conservative enough to wear to work.
