As we slowly emerge from our stay-at-home lives, we’re looking forward to dressing up, to getting back to business. We're looking for wardrobe staples that work just as hard as (if not harder than) us as we make our way between weekends and weekdays.
There are so many boxes these pieces need to tick to make the grade: room to move and easy to move in, hard-wearing and easy to care for. When it comes to our new reach-for, we want to feel like we're in control. Or, at least look like we are.
Lucky for us, Oroton, a long-time Australian icon, has just landed and it's everything the modern woman needs in a a wardrobe go-to. Think head-to-toe neutrals that work as separates or as suits, and hardwearing, minimalist-leaning accessories. We checked in with the brand's Creative Director Sophie Holt for her top picks from the latest collection (online now, here!).

“The Margot drum bag is a 'go-to' for any wardrobe. Slung effortlessly over your shoulder this easy to wear cross body holds all your essentials while keeping your hands free. Available in a number of colour ways I personally love the whiskey as it goes with anything from pastels to black and white.”

"One of this season’s key trends is pastel suiting. I love experimenting with fresh palettes and soft hues. Try our belted dusty peach blazer and matching pant together or pair the blazer with the pleated pant in green birch for something a little unexpected."
