When crafting a chic summer-in-the-city look, take a cue from these fashion darlings and embrace the easy-breeziness of the season without a tropical print in sight. However, should you choose to partake, SIR’s Esme matching pant set is a welcome exception to the rule. Understated, yet elegant accessories from The Row and St. Agni complete the low-key polished look to perfection. Onto Alémais: the brand is synonymous with summer thanks to its festive floral frocks and flattering silhouettes. Outside the Aussie label’s Resort 2024 show, one street styler added an element of edge to their Kenzie patchwork dress in a pair of knee-high white boots. Meanwhile, a baby blue Bottega Veneta bag packed a punch of color. Other resort-ready dresses could be spotted courtesy of Bondi Born and Agua by Agua Bendita, both of which were paired with a kitten heel or two.
Strong tailoring is always to be expected on the Sydney Fashion Week street style scene, like an Acne Studios boxy blazer or The Frankie Shop’s full ivory suit. Styling-wise, one fashion darling paired the latter with sleek sandals from Everlane and a slouchy Khaite raffia tote. Luxury layering essentials also got their time in the spotlight–think The Row’s linen overshirt and Re/Done’s timeless tank top to summertime trench coats from Massimo Dutti and Rag & Bone. You can always expect this group of street stylers to set the tone for the rest of the season, whether it’s the crowning of a new statement shoe or the latest label to love (and shop!). Below, shop 10 street style trends from Sydney Fashion Week to inspire your summer capsule wardrobe.
