When you think about Sydney, Australia, you most likely envision beaches, poolside barbecues, and most importantly, great street style. Sydney’s own Fashion Week just wrapped up, and we’re already inspired by all of the deeply chic warm-weather looks we saw on the streets. Even though it’s nearly winter there—in the southern hemisphere, the seasons operate in reverse—we still saw plenty of darling (and daring!) crop tops, pristine white sneakers, warm-hued tailoring, and much more. As summer heats up, are you looking for a little inspiration to achieve your dreams of becoming effortlessly beachy around the clock? We’ve got you covered.
First, consider coveting the perfect linen suit. It’s an excellent way to stay comfortable in the office in warmer temperatures, and the ideal look to sit out on a terrace in the afternoon when summer Fridays roll around. We’ve selected one from Mango that’s both affordable and uncompromisingly cool. Pair that with a bralette for a little visible lingerie moment and voilà—you are one step away from embodying the Sydney surfer girl look.
For something with a bit more of an edge, consider pairing a wispy crop top in a breathable fabric with some vegan leather pants: We think such a combination can be pulled off with some trousers from Nanushka, and a ruffled top from Jill Stuart. Then, for a down-under update on the classic jeans and T-shirt combination, why not try a strapless white blouse (like the one we love from Marysia) and a flared printed trouser, like the fun pair below from Chloé?
Here, find all of our tips on how to manifest Australian cool-girl style with all the ease of a lazy summer day:
