When I think of Aussie summers, I imagine beach, sand, Aperol spritz and the Bondi to Bronte utilitarian uniform of black shorts, a crop top and cap. This summer, our fashion goals haven’t changed per se – think laid back and comfortable BUT with a sprinkle of stylish, camera ready ensembles to release your inner off duty model look – without the fuss, obvi.
So how do we achieve said off-duty-model look? Easy!
Move aside activewear and grey sweats, because this holiday season we’re doing understated summer chic with bold co-ord sets, quality basics and little black dresses even if it’s just to pick up a bottle of milk from the corner store.
comfy co-ord sets
If you haven’t already caught on, coordinating sets are having a real moment and this season is no different. We’re seeing bold colours and contemporary patterns. We love a set styled with statement jewellery and sandals.

quality basics
While you can find basics everywhere you go, it’s the quality basics you need to look out for. Think high quality materials, neutral colours and patterns like stripes for interest which mix and match seamlessly with basically everything you already have in your wardrobe for an instant put together look.

little black dress
There’s a reason why the LBD has stood the test of time. This timeless classic can be worn umpteenth ways from an evening out to the office and even weekend errands. If you have a wardrobe full of dressy pieces, you can’t go wrong with a casual LBD. In this instance, try styling a cotton or a knit LBD dresses with sneakers, a mini bag and oversized sunnies.
