Work It
Elevate Your Everyday Office Attire
The routine nature of work wardrobes often leads to a lack of inspiration and a feeling of monotony.
To combat this, we can integrate timeless and versatile pieces that not only
breathe new life into our closet but also promote sustainable and creative styling.
So how can we create the Perfect Work Wardrobe?
Firstly, make some room. Take out any outfits that you have reached for multiple times and have changed back out of or just not felt good in.
Removing the items that don’t hit the mark will make finding the ones that do so much easier.
Then its time to add in some easy care, versatile pieces to create the perfect every-day work wardrobe. Here's what every wardrobe should have when it comes to work dressing:
EASY WEAR AND CARE garments
The SACHA DRAKE work collection is filled with many machine washable and jersey styles that don't require ironing and just make life easy.
Trying to juggle dry cleaning and ironing when you’re coordinating children at school or having long hours at the office is just not ideal or plausible.
Our stretch jersey styles can be thrown in the washing machine at the end of the day and require no ironing. This means you have more time to spend on the important things and less time in the laundry.
The Zip Peplum Jacket (pictured) is a beautiful tailored piece that requires no dry cleaning and can be machine washed for convenience.
Multiple Wearing Options is key:
Who doesn’t love a garment that can be worn more than one day, across more than one occasion.
Sacha loves designing reversible and multi wear outfits to ensure all shapes and preferences are looked after and limits the need for more items in the wardrobe.
Reversible Styles:
Explore the magic of having two looks in one outfit, with reversible workwear garments featuring different necklines. This innovative design allows you to effortlessly transform your look by simply reversing the style, giving the impression of an entirely new outfit. It's a fantastic way to add diversity
to your office wardrobe without accumulating more items.
Garments for All Occasions:
Opt for garments that seamlessly transition from work to weekend and day to evening. SACHA DRAKE's Essentials collection epitomizes versatility, making it the perfect foundation for a capsule wardrobe.
Take, for example, the Seamless Pant (pictured) – a true all-rounder. Pair it with blouses for the office, T-shirts for the weekend, or elevate it with elegant sequin top for special events.
This adaptability ensures you maximize your wardrobe investment and reduce the need for excess items.
Accessories
Don't underestimate the impact of accessories.
They are the quickest and most effective way to infuse seasonal colors and revive any outfit. By incorporating accessories strategically, you can transform a basic ensemble into a stylish and trendy look effortlessly
As seen here on Styling with Zee, the use of the Belt Accessory buckle with the Cowl Tie Drape Dress instantly breathes life into a black dress and makes it feel complete, professional and polished.
Fine earrings and necklaces are also a great way to give a polished and finished look to your work outfit. Gold and silver toned hoops, studs and belts lift block colours and create different wearing options.
Conclusion
With a strategic approach to refreshing your work wardrobe, you can effortlessly elevate your everyday office dressing. Embrace timeless and versatile pieces, leverage the convenience of wash-and-go styles, and explore the possibilities of multiple wearing options.
SACHA DRAKE's commitment to practical yet stylish designs ensures that building the perfect work wardrobe becomes a journey of creativity and efficiency.

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.
