Vivid block colours
As we hunt for any excuse to spend more time in the great outdoors, all eyes are on fashion that reflects the vibrant colours from our own backyards. Think sunset yellows from Ally Fashion and Forever New and bold neon greens from Sussan. Rich ruby reds have us reaching for the racks at Rockmans and Valleygirl.
Embrace these colours with confidence, whether you wear them individually or choose a colour block look to make a striking statement.
Pare it back
Less is more is the trend that keeps on giving. For the time-poor mums to the busy professionals, relaxed tailoring and minimal essentials means maximum comfort.
Start with the basics and pay a visit to UNIQLO and Target for a few staple tees. Whatever your usual size is, go up! Baggy and big is in and it’s breathable, which means the oversized trousers at Cotton On and Factorie will be right on-trend. The added material gives room for extra flow, giving you the ultimate confidence boost. Looking for the perfect throw on dress for those lazy weekends? Stop by Universal Store for all your slip dress desires.
The new look athleisure
When we think spring/summer, sporting styles comes to mind. Hence the love to mix easy breezy athleisure with everyday pieces. We’re talking oversized jerseys with your go-to denim, a classic blouse with sport shorts, vibrant sneakers with your favourite flowy dress - the list goes on.
You can invest in sports tops from Adidas and Rebel. For those who love a sporty short head to Lorna Jane and find your new favourite sneakers from JD Sports and The Athlete's Foot.
Carefree crochet
Perfectly layered over swimwear to a summer’s afternoon spent relaxing with family and friends, crochet has made a much-welcomed comeback. The delicate cutouts bring an element of interest to any outfit, evoking a nostalgic nod to pre-2000s fashion. Whether you're lounging by the pool or enjoying a long lunch crochet pieces offer a playful option that blends comfort with vintage charm.
You’ll find all things crochet getting snatched off the shelves at Ghanda Clothing, Cotton On and Ally Fashion. These retailers have embraced the crochet revival, making it easy for you to incorporate this renewed look into your summer wardrobe.
Bold prints for spring? Groundbreaking.
It’s safe to say we all get a spring in our step when we don a bright and bold floral or stripe print in the warmer months. These timeless patterns bring energy and excitement to any wardrobe, making a statement with every piece.
Embrace the versatility of florals with floaty maxi dresses from Katies and eye-catching accessories available at Lovisa. Stripes, too, are having a moment, offering a fresh take on classic patterns. Opt for bright, dynamic stripes on breezy blouses at Forcast, and add a playful touch to your style with pants from Forever New.
