A Summer Romance
SUMMER LOVING YOUR WARDROBE
The days are getting longer, and the sun hotter which means it's time to pack up the knitwear and boots and replace them with your summer essentials. It's always a good idea to try on your existing seasonal wardrobe and clean out what no longer fits or inspires you. The more you have that you want to wear then the more options you'll actually have. You'll also be able to see what your wardrobe is missing, which is where we come in to help.
IT'S TIME TO REFRESH AND RESET THE WARDROBE FOR A MEMORABLE AND TIMELESS SUMMER.
COOL IN COTTON
When choosing garments for the summer months it's always good to consider the fabric. Natural fibres such as cotton and linen allow your skin to breathe and absorb sweat which makes you feel more comfortable and confident in hot and humid climates.
If your summer wardrobe is missing some stylish yet easy cotton, then look no further our Mount Tantalus and 1961 Shift dresses. These styles are easily dressed up or down and contain a little stretch for a flexible and comfortable fit on the body.
PUNCHY PRINTS
Summer is the time when you can really have fun with your wardrobe and showcase bright colours and prints. Think tropical palms, colours of the sunset, and vibrant florals for the season. The best part about brightly printed garments is that they do all the talking and call for minimal accessories, throw one on and you're ready to go!
We are loving the new and exclusive 'Aqua Yellow Abstract' story as its calming vibrant print instantly transports you to sunny days and blue skies. This collection is also fantastic for summer holidays as its jersey wont crease in a suitcase and is easily machine washed.
sunkissed silhouettes
With the days getting warmer It's time to show a little skin and opt for some cooler off the shoulder or slimline strap styles. Off the shoulder styles create a feminine silhouette across the body and still allow a coverage over the arm. If you prefer to wear a normal bra, then you might prefer to opt for a thicker bra friendly shoestringstrap like our Hawaiian Sunset Maxi Dress. It shows the perfect amount of skin whilst being bra friendly. Although keep in mind that most SACHA DRAKE off the shoulder styles can also be worn off the shoulder, and then up on the shoulders for a versatile and bra friendly option.

Dress Styling and Fit
For work, minimal styling lets the print or cut do the talking. Block heels, a structured bag and simple jewellery are all you need. For events, add strappy heels, a statement earring and a clutch to shift the mood entirely. SACHA DRAKE's online stylists are available via chat for personalised recommendations if you want a second opinion.
The wrap silhouette works across most body shapes because the adjustable tie allows you to manipulate the dress to your body. It is particularly flattering on Hourglass and Pear shapes as it defines the waist and skims the hips.
For a formal event, keep accessories elevated with heeled sandals, a clutch and statement jewellery. For a weekend or travel setting, flat sandals and a sun hat bring the formality down without the dress losing its impact. The SACHA DRAKE maxi is designed to transition between settings, so the same dress works across multiple occasions with a simple accessory swap.
The midi sits roughly at mid-calf and works across a broader range of occasions including workwear, cocktail events and weddings. The maxi runs to the ankle or floor and leans more toward formal occasions and warm-weather events. Both silhouettes are available in wrap and structured styles across the SACHA DRAKE range, and both are categorised by body shape to help you find the most flattering option.
Every SACHA DRAKE garment is categorised by one of five body shapes: Hourglass, Column, Pear, Apple and Maternity. The brand designs specifically to flatter each shape rather than applying a single block pattern across all sizes. Wrap and reverse-wrap styles in particular are engineered to define the waist, balance proportions and move well on the body rather than just fitting around it.
Wrap and reverse-wrap midi styles are the strongest options for a pear shape. The wrap tie allows you to define the waist while the skirt skims over the hips rather than clinging. A-line midi silhouettes also work well for the same reason.
