Wearing Ankara or traditional attire to law firms is allowed on Fridays in most parts of the country. Except there’s a rule stating the opposite, most principals and Heads of Chamber, allow staff to wear ankara outfits to work. Here are forty Ankara styles that female lawyers can wear to their law firms.
Lawyers tend to navigate towards greys, deep blues and black clothing items when shopping. After many years of practising law, you might look at your closet and realise that you don’t have a ton of colourful outfits.
African print dresses are colorful and Ankara fabric can be styled in numerous ways. You can opt for darker toned fabric, or deep hues whilst shopping for Ankara fabric to sew. Most of these Ankara styles will fit you, regardless of the color of material used. See more lovely Ankara styles below.
At the last law firm I worked at, the lawyers weren’t allowed to wear traditional attire at all. My principal explained to me that she did not consider it professional workwear. Over the years, I’ve discovered that many older lawyers share this view. If your law firm allows this, these Ankara styles will look gorgeous on female lawyers.

Gorgeous Ankara Sets For Work
Ankara workwear is not restricted to dresses. Although these are two-piece attires, they are still considered workwear. With a few adjustments e.g removing the high slits and low cleavage areas, these African print sets are perfect for work.
You can corporatify an Ankara jumpsuit, or Ankara tops and bottoms. The easiest way to do this is by adding a dark coloured blazer or suit jacket. See some lovely Ankara tops, jumpsuits and African print skirts below.
