Vivid colours
Last year’s fad for rich, bright colour has remained; expect to see pink and neon green socks, belts and hairbands on display. Stark contrasts are also in vogue, black/white, pink/blue, green/yellow and red/white.
Eye-catching prints
Rich fabrics with stunning prints are all the rage here in sunny Australia; acrylic, cotton and satin should be prominent, with floral and animal prints in abundance. Deep red matched with black accessories, wearing one of the chic womens gold watches available from an online retailer. Shopping online is so convenient; Google can help you locate top Australian designer boutiques and they often run specials, so you can pick up a bargain.
Jumpsuits
Since when have jumpsuits not been popular? Oversize is in vogue, combined with a baggy T-shirt and a sporty look with trainers. Stonewashed denim brings in the rugged used look with a few rips and tears, of course.
Off-the-shoulder evening gowns
Metallic fabrics go well with diamond jewellery and the online designer dress boutiques are the best places to find stylish evening gowns. You might prefer a mermaid-style gown in marine blue or a bright green; off-the-shoulder really shows off that deep tan, making you the envy of every girl at the party.

Hoodies
Hoodies arrived on the scene a couple of years ago and they are still in vogue; it goes with the current trend for sporty wear and hood up or down, a hoodie will keep you warm when the mercury drops and it can keep your hair in order during windy days.
Wool sweaters and cardigans
While you won’t be seeing sweaters and cardigans on hot summer days, they will be evident in early mornings and evenings. Oversize garments seem to be the thing this year, as all the catwalks will be showing woolly sweaters and cardigans with some amazing colours and designs.
