What to wear on Australia Day!

Australia Day holiday is this week! I love connecting with family and friends on this day and enjoying our gorgeous outdoor lifestyle plus listening in on the Triple J Hottest 100!

So, being high summer and a day of connection and outdoors I thought I’d share some quick tips for what to wear this Australia Day.

Whether it is a gathering at a friends pool, the beach, the pub courtyard or the foreshore with the family comfortable and casual is a must.

Natural fabrics that are light, comfortable and breathe like cotton – playsuits and maxi dresses are great options.

Mix and match it up with casual shorts and dressy tanks and sandals – be playful and dress in aussie colours.

Swimmers under a gorgeous kaftan is perfect for pool side or beach.

Remember to wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and drink plenty of water too!

Yours in all things preloved,
