If you entered 2025 with the mantra: New Year, new approach to dressing, you’re not alone.
The summer break proved the perfect time to clear out wardrobe clutter and breathe new life into your look. If, like me, your clothing overhaul involves a commitment to investment pieces that perfectly balance timeless and on-trend, then you’ve come to the right place.
One of the first places I turn to fill the now glaring gaps in my closet is Shona Joy. The Australian brand’s latest spring/summer collection, Reverie, marks its 25th anniversary and a return to its roots—if that’s not a signifier of timeless staples, I don’t know what is.
The collection sees the introduction of a chic monogram, stunning abstract print you’ll never tire of and reimagined silhouettes you’ll love for seasons to come.
So, if you’re looking for a wardrobe refresh that will stand the test of time, here’s what I’m buying and recommend you do, too.

Kasbah Bustier Draped Mini Dress
$320 at Shona Joy
The LBD is a staple that will be called upon again and again, but it’s the subtle structural details that set this piece apart. The corseted bodice and gathered waist are super flattering, while the peek-a-boo bust detail is on-trend (without the threat of dating quickly).

Harlow Oversized Shirt
$240 at Shona Joy
A light-weight button down is the quickest way to look polished in the heat, and you can never have too many, in my opinion. Wear with matching pants, open over a singlet or even under a strappy dress. The unique stripe pattern and exaggerated cuffs give this shirt that extra oomph.

Harlow Tailored Slouch Pant
$260 at Shona Joy
A matching set makes for minimal effort with maximum style results, so naturally these pants are also on the list. They’re designed to sit slightly away from the body making them ultra comfy on warm days—unlike my high-waist alternatives—and look just as cool with a white tank or tee as they do with the matching shirt.

Edward Silk One Shoulder Cowl Maxi Dress
$495 at Shona Joy
You know those days when it’s so hot out the mere idea of getting dressed causes a sweat? This effortless maxi dress is the answer. It’s relaxed and lightweight for maximum ventilation but also gorgeous thanks to it’s one shoulder design and backless detail.

Aby Twist T Shirt
$220 at Shona Joy
I’m constantly reaching for a classic tee, but this is so much more. The twist detail and split hem take the wardrobe basic and elevate it for a piece that will get endless wear.
