We completely understand your wishes and desires, so we’ve come up with a list of highly required garments you should get in accordance with your dream destination.

How to explore Melbourne, the fashion capital of Australia?
You probably already know that Melbourne is said to be the fashion capital of Australia, as its inhabitants take the contents of their wardrobe quite seriously. However, the weather in Melbourne is quite unpredictable, as temperatures can change within hours, ranging from warm and sunny mornings to cold and rainy afternoons. This basically means that you should be prepared for anything and everything, so bringing clothes for both hot and cold climates is an absolute must. Of course, the trick to surviving those variations in temperatures is layering, so don’t forget to bring a cardigan and a scarf for your Melbourne trip. Besides that, black is definitely one of the most popular colors among the ladies, so you should probably go for skinny jeans or leggings in this shade. Needless to say, simple white button-downs complemented with oversized sweaters are really popular during winter, and you won’t make a mistake if you match these with a colorful beanie.

As for your footwear, you should stay away from canvas shoes since they aren’t a good choice for sudden weather changes, so opt for a pair of sturdy boots or any kind of leather boots instead.

How to explore Sydney, the city with the best weather in the world?
A lot of people claim that Sydney has the best weather in the world, and its hot summers and mild winters surely confirm that claim. When it comes to summer months, you can always opt for stylish lightweight dresses made from fabrics that’ll allow you to move with ease. You can’t make a mistake with a monochromatic dress, but you should know that colorful dresses that feature any kind of trendy graphic print or abstract pattern are a fabulous idea as well.

A great pair of shorts is also a good investment, especially during summer, as you’ll probably reach for it a lot. Speaking of your shoes, the fact is that ordinary flip-flops will come to your mind, right? Well, these aren’t the greatest option as your feet may start to hurt after a long city tour, so be sure to opt for comfortable Adidas shoes instead and enjoy your Australian trip to the fullest. Speaking of winter in Sydney, a pair of your favorite jeans and a fashionable shirt will do the trick, just be sure to bring a light coat, too, as the nights are a bit chilly.

How to explore the Outback, the vast and remote interior of Australia?
On the other hand, if you’re a traveler who craves the ultimate Australian adventure, you should definitely visit the Outback – the remote interior of Australia which has so much to offer. It’s located outside the main urban areas, and it is home to some of the most famous sights of the country – Kata Tjuta and Uluru. Most travelers usually stay in a small town called Yulara, and you should visit it during winter as the temperatures are quite pleasant during the day. However, summers are really hot and humid in the Outback, so be sure to bring several T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, a pair of quality jeans, leggings, and at least two pairs of shorts. A light sweatshirt may be needed, too. Bear in mind that it can get a bit cold at night, so bring along your stylish winter pajamas and a pair of bed socks as well. As for the footwear, you will need a good pair of boots – regular ones will do the trick, you don’t have to buy hiking boots just for this trip.
As you can see, there are a lot of tips to help you explore Australian cities with style. Coming up with trendy yet comfortable combos don’t have to be as tricky as you probably thought – just make sure you stick to our tips and you’ll nail your outfits like a true fashionista!

September 2, 2018Sydney is definitely on my bucket list of places to travel. I think it would be so amazing to visit there. And I can see why it would be great because of being on the coast. I didn’t know they were so big into fashion. That’s cool too.
