It’s no secret: the Sydney Fashion Week street style set knows how to dress for summer. This week the stylish group flexed their fashion muscles in a range of masterfully minimal to perfectly printed pieces. They sported local labels we know and love, from Alémais and SIR to Bondi Born and St. Agni. As we transition away from our springtime staples in favor of ones more fitting for summer, this sartorial inspiration is sure to serve your warm-weather wardrobe wonders. 

Sydney Fashion Week’s Summer Capsule Wardrobe Edit: 

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.

Aussie label SIR is renowned for its use of festive prints, and this Esme matching pant set is no exception. Per this street styler, keep the rest of the look masterfully minimal with sleek accessories from St. Agni and The Row.

No season embraces a festive floral frock quite like summer. From Alémais, a patchwork Kenzie dress is the perfect pick–even this street styler agrees. Offset the daintiness of the dress with cowboy-inspired boots from Chloé. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta’s baby blue Jodie bag packs a colorful punch.

Bondi Born is another under-the-radar resortwear label to know and love this season, starting with their coral-colored strapless maxidress. Like this fashion darling, keep the styling to a minimum with Prada’s Cleo bag and kitten heels from Toteme.

The street style staple of the summer, you might ask? The Row’s linen overshirt. Worn open over a Re/Done tank top and tailored trousers from Purdey, the final resort is perfectly polished. Fisherman sandals from Emme Parsons are the star of our summer shopping lists

Whether it’s worn as a chic cover-up or layered under a lightweight trench, a crochet dress is a summertime staple season after season. Per the street style set, complete the look with barely-there sandals from Ancient Greek and Reformation’s minimalist handbag.

This summer we’re embracing the mature miniskirt, starting with Theory’s patch-pocket mini. Meanwhile, J.Crew’s ladylike jacket pairs perfectly on top. This outfit’s pièce de résistance? Crystal-embellished ballet flats from Mango, of course.
