We have our own styles here in Australia and rather than taking the lead from London, Paris, and New York, our fashion designers follow their passion and create trends rather than follow them. Summer might be a few months into the future and if you’re wondering what we’ll see on the catwalks in Sydney and Melbourne, we offer a sneak peek of summer trends in this year’s Australian Fashion Week.

*This is a collaborative post. Purple & magenta – The brighter the better, Barbie pinks are definitely in this summer, while magenta is easy on the eye and makes your skin glow. A slinky sheer magenta gown, wigs by Milk & Honey, and your best diamond jewellery bring you the 2023 super-woman look. Head-to-toe magenta can be a bit too much, but an outgoing personality can carry it off. Purple socks were another regular in Australian Fashion Week, with bright neon knee-length socks.
Knit & crochet – The raw fibre look is still with us, with a slightly futuristic slant, thick cotton strands are used to great effect; can be worn as an overtop or on their own. Pleats make an appearance with beads to add some rich colour; several well-known designers have been working with rope and pleats to create stunning outfits. Tight or loose, a knitted cardigan looks stunning over a checked shirt and we saw a few on the catwalk.
Sheer & see-through – Bra and pants provide the cover with a sheer magenta see-through number; sheer is part of most designer’s collections, and designers love the qualities of this light fabric. A lot of the summer party outfits will be sheer and judging by the way it was received by the media, this look is here to stay. Here are a few unique ways you can celebrate an anniversary.
Satin & sequins – This is an extended trend that looks likely to continue into 2024; ideal for those summer parties, with wigs and hair extensions, you can create a unique look. Chunky silver jewellery makes for the perfect accessory, you can dance the night away! Bling is back with a bang, so rummage through your jewellery box and see what you have.
Sporty – Tracksuit, white sneakers, a wristband, and neon socks; don’t forget your earbuds; the perfect leisure outfit for the coming summer, bright colours rule! A small backpack completes the look and if you are thinking of going make-up-free, this is the look to do it. For sporty, you can use Custom Keyrings as backpack decorations to match your sportswear.
If you love yoga, go for a mini yoga mat-shaped keyring engraved with your initials; runners might pick a 3D tiny running shoes model in neon colors. Basketball fans can choose one with a textured basketball pattern and their favorite player’s number. These keyrings not only hold keys but also pop against plain sport backpacks, tying your athletic look together. A bold slogan or a cute sport emoji on them adds a personal, lively touch to make your sporty style stand out.
Wigs are everywhere and what better way to transform your look? Blonde, brunette, or slinky black hair is all doable when you acquire human hair wigs from a leading supplier. Clip-on hair extensions are flying off the shelves; easy to fit, extensions can transform you into another person.
There you have it, the highlights of this year’s Australian Fashion Week, and now you know what to look for when you shop for clothing online.
