When you go shopping, what do you look for?

I’m looking for pieces that will fit into my pre-existing wardrobe. Something that is going to match what I already have, but also make me feel like I’m refreshing my style.

What are some key investment pieces in your wardrobe?

My favourite staples are always going to be the basics. So a good pair of denim jeans, really nice singlets, really nice oversize linen shirts. They can always be updated, and always look fresh and crisp.

How important is it to feel good in what you wear to work?

It’s incredibly important, because feeling good heading into work can change the trajectory of your day. If I put on an outfit that I’m vibing, I feel so much more confident and empowered.

What are your weekend wardrobe must-haves?

If I’m not getting around in activewear, I’ll wear a crisp white shirt, usually linen, a pair of dark wash denim jeans and a chunky sandal or loafer — something that’s easy to throw on and go to the shops.

What do you love about Commonry?

My favourite thing about Commonry is the quality. Every time I pick up a shirt it just feels incredibly well-made, and the structure is always on point.
