Dressing for an Aussie summer is about keeping cool and dressing with ease. I think Australians have an inherent way of putting their summer wardrobe together that is fuss-free, utilitarian and practical, but with a side of chic simplicity thrown in.

For women that may mean a simple summer dress, but the devil is in the detail. It may be a longline silhouette that moves with the breeze, or a flowing skirt that has a deliberate elegance yet a wearable practicality. To achieve this, look no further than a statement patterned dress or skirt from AJE, with billowing details and the utmost attention to detail. A pair of chic flat sandals from Camper can give an edge to a casual day ensemble, but are also comfortable enough for a full day at work or chasing after the kids.

Layering and accessories are a great way to add flair to a summer ensemble. A pair of shorts and a bralette can be completely transformed with an open shirt or bold necklace. Look to Oroton’s latest collection, featuring beautiful summer prints and statement gold jewellery, to compete a head-to-toe look.
