Pretty in Pastels

SWEET LIKE CANDY

Pastel colours are not only pretty, but extremely versatile and easy to work with. They go back with just about anything and keep the wardrobe fresh and exciting whilst adding brightness to the every day. Sometimes all we need is a touch of colour to add a dash of charm.

It's time to stop, take a moment, and enjoy the pastel shades in life.

WORK TO WEEKEND

How to WORK it

Pair pastel tops back with bold or black separates for a more corporate edge. Brighter colours for work can seem scary, but when paired with the correct separates or blazers they give a feminine edge that look both professional and polished. If you tend to wear darker hues or black and whites, it might be time to mix it up and experiment with some softer colours.

WEEKEND style

With just the change of pants, pastel tops can completely transform in look. What was a sohpisticated look for work yesterday is now an effortless and relaxed weekend feel. Add White jeans and skirts, sneakers or simple slides to complete your effortless style.

We love the Natal Blouse in Sky with the Classic Trouser for work, and then matched with the White jean for weekend wear.

ELEVATE THE EVERYDAY

Pastel colours are the sweetest, prettiest and most fun way to brighten up your day, so what better way than to be able to incorporate them into your everyday wardrobe.

Pretty soft colours ellude feminity and allow you to have fun with different combinations and shades. White always pairs back well with pastel shades as does nudes and pinks to keep it light and tonal.

The Maddison Maxi Dress (pictured) is the perfect pastel style and extremely versatile to wear. With the addition of the White oversized shirt it instanly becomes a new relaxed feel and creates the perfect foundation for an everyday capsule wardrobe.

Champagne and Celebrations

There’s a reason that Pastel colours have their own category in the colour spectrum, they are carefree, inspired and full of beauty. For this reason they shouldnt just be reserved for day and work wear, but also make the perfect ensemble for events and evening wear.

Whether it's dinner under a sunset sky, a garden wedding or evening celebration you'll feel radiant and shine in pretty prints and delicate details.

The Follow the Dream Maxi Dress (Pictured) Is charming and romantic and perfect for weddings, galas and any event where you want pastel perfection.

 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.
