Editor’s Guide: Mastering the Safiyaa Silhouette
Safiyaa pieces are architectural marvels. Here is how to style them for maximum impact.
The Cape Gown
The Fix: The cape is a statement of power and grace. Because the shoulders and silhouette are so striking, keep your hair sleek—an elegant updo or slicked-back style—and let the dress command the room.
Demi-Couture Separates
The Fix: Safiyaa’s tailored trousers and peplum tops offer a modern alternative to the traditional gown. Pair them with a pointed-toe pump to elongate the leg line created by the flared trousers.
Sizing Guide: The Safiyaa Fit
Safiyaa uses French Sizing (FR). The brand is famous for its sculpting heavy crepe, which contains elastane for a firm, supportive stretch.
| Safiyaa (FR) | US Size | UK Size | Fit Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 2 | 6 | True to Size (Sculpting) |
| 36 | 4 | 8 | True to Size (Sculpting) |
| 38 | 6 | 10 | True to Size (Sculpting) |
| 40 | 8 | 12 | True to Size (Sculpting) |
Pro Tip: The heavy crepe acts almost like shapewear. You should take your true size to benefit from the smoothing effect. However, if you prefer a looser, more relaxed drape, size up.
