The SACHA DRAKE essentials collection is versatile and works with your everyday lifestyle needs- whether it be our women's dresses, tops or pants.
DESIGNED TO FIT YOUR LIFE, THESE WORK WARDROBE STAPLES ARE AUSTRALIAN-DESIGNED AND ESSENTIAL TO YOUR EVERYDAY STYLE IN 2021
CLASSIC WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FOR 2021
Every great work wardrobe needs a solid foundation to support and build on. These are essential pieces that can be dressed up or down, and match back easily with your existing work-wear favourites.
Our starter wardrobe foundation includes a black pencil skirt, Crisp white cotton shirt, a matching jersey power set and a classic reversible jersey dress. This allows you to easily mix and match the separates together to create multiple outfits and will work back easily with your existing collection to give it new life.
MACHINE WASHABLE, IRON-FREE
The best kind of wardrobe is a low-maintenance one, and what better way to achieve this than with the SACHA DRAKE essentials collection.
Australian-designed and made, this collection of women's designer clothing includes high quality jersey's that you can showcase, throw in the washing machine and then wear again. The last thing any of us needs is an ironing basket piled high, so reduce your workload with easy wash-and-wear styles- such as the Column Drape Dress navy (pictured left), and the Analia Top and Seamless Pant black (pictured right). The best part is that these styles are also reversible which gives you added versatility.
DAY TO NIGHT AND ALL-ROUND VERSATILE
Who doesn't love a versatile outfit? Pop it on in the morning for work, then wear it out to after work to dinner and look equally as dressed and ready for the occasion. Our essentials do just this! You'll find a lot of styles in this collection are reversible which is instantly two looks in one.
Wear them boat neck, cowl neck or V-neck, then turn them around to their reversed side for a new look; no one would ever know they were the same garment. The Cowl Tie Drape Dress gives you the option of wearing a higher boat neck to work during the day, and then flipping it to an elegant cowl neck for after-work events, perfect for versatility. The High Neck Tie Top (pictured right) comes in black and navy and is another style that will instantly take you from the boardroom to the bar.
THE PERFECT WORK WARDROBE WITH VERSATILITY
Sacha Drake created the Essentials collection for it to be just that: essential. Garments can easily be worn from day to night and are perfect for weekend wear. Reversible and machine-washable, these separates and women's dresses take all of the hard work out of your wardrobe and make dressing every day effortless. Versatile colours such as navy, black and white, will easily compliment your existing collection, and be timeless for years to come.

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.
