If there's one thing I know about Australian style, it's that we really shine in summer. When the sun's out, the crickets are chirping and the days are long, our laidback look comes into its own. If I had to find a word for it, I'd say we love to dress with ease.
That's why things like 'throw-on-and-go' dresses, linen separates and matching sets have all become so popular: they're shortcuts to looking cool with minimal effort.

With the warmer months stretching out ahead and party season already underway, it's a good time to track down those staple summer pieces you'll wear on repeat. I'm talking about easygoing styles you can throw on for a picnic with the kids, lunch with the girls, barefoot bowls and afternoon sundowners.
I'm not one to gatekeep, so here are 14 fresh pieces I've found that are perfectly aligned with this time of year.
(Psst: many of these styles are already on sale thanks to the Black Friday markdowns. So make sure you click through to check if they're discounted!)
