An Autumn Affair

Transend the seasons

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year. There starts to be a hint of the coolness
in the air and the orange and red leaves start to adorn the footpaths.

As much as it's full of beauty, it can also be unpredictable in weather which makes
everyday dressing more challenging. Warmer days can quickly turn cool, especially
in the evenings and afternoon storms bring wind and rain.

We are very excited to introduce you to the SACHA DRAKE Autumn collection which takes you on a journey of jewel tones mixed with versatile trans-seasonal styles.

A TONAL PALETTE

The first sign that Autumn has begun is that we usually start reaching for more
tonal colours rather than our summer brights.

Dusky pinks, neutrals and jeweled tones are the focus of the new SACHA DRAKE Autumn collection which are easy to wear and match back with just about anything. This also makes it easier to incorporate into your existing wardrobe, especially with coats or jackets as the season gets colder and needs more layers.

We are loving the Bird of Paradise Dress (pictured) for both work and events with its sleek style and tonal geometric print. Simply change your accessories based on your occasion and you'll realise just how versatile this little beauty is.

AUTUMN EVENINGS

Evening events start to become more prominent as we head through Autumn into winter in the form of the racing events, balls, charity dinners and school functions.

Weddings also have become exceptionally popular in Autumn as the weather is cooler and the landscapes more picturesque with all the changing colours.

This collection offers opulent floor-length gowns whilst delicate draped sleeves and one shoulder necklines add elegance and charm.

Meet the Tudor Rose Maxi Dress and Finest Hour Wrap Dress which have been crafted with subtle yet striking prints. These two styles are perfect for Autumn weddings and events and with both a maxi and midi option there's something for everyone!

Easy Everyday

As the weather can be a little unpredictable with cooler mornings and warmer days, it can make what to wear a little confusing.

opting for cooler styles with a sleeve will ensure you have a little warmth and coverage for the commute, but will still be cool enough once the sun warms up for the day.

A lightweight jacket is also a must for your autumn wardrobe to easily layer up as the season gets cooler. Dresses that can be worn with tights and boots are also a great investment as these will take you from Autumn all the way through to winter.

We love the Butterfly Brooch Dress (pictured) for easy day and work wear, pair it with a denim jacket on the weekend, and with a cropped blazer for work.

FAQ

 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.
