TRANSEASONAL

REFINEMENT

Traversing the Australian climate as the seasons change is tough; not just on the weatherman, but on all of us. One day, you're struggling to leave the bed, and the next, you're dreaming of the beach and a six-pack of your favourite beer. How are you supposed to dress for this kind of weather? Thankfully, it doesn't have to be complicated. All you need are a few key layer-friendly pieces that bridge the gap between winter warmth and spring breeziness.

Layered Intent

The most effective way to prepare for the shifting weather is to layer with intention. You want each item to stand alone, but also pair easily with the other clothes you own. Things like polos, overshirts, and field jackets work perfectly to get you through the brisk mornings as well as the warm afternoons. As the temperature fluctuates, so does your outfit, with layers being easy to remove (or re-add) as needed.Start with lighter base layers and build outward from there, with a slightly heavier layer for warmth covered by a larger outer layer to protect you from the elements as required. Limiting yourself to three items will keep you from feeling weighed down and looking convoluted.On days that you're headed into the office, a crisp white dress shirt pairs perfectly with a dark, earth tone tie and our lightweight field jacket for a professional yet relaxed look.

Polo Perfection

A tailored polo dressed up with an unstructured burgundy sports coat over some white jeans will have you dressed appropriately for a cocktail party or a weekend dinner with friends.

Off-Duty Overshirts

And for those days off when you just need to run some errands? Wearing a fitted t-shirt with a more structured overshirt creates a laid back look that you can be proud to leave the house in.

Depth in Dressing

Not only does this keep you feeling your best all day, but it also provides exciting opportunities to experiment with colour, textures, and proportions. Don’t be afraid to combine different things for a more varied look. You can easily add depth to an outfit by blending textures or contrasting colours. The interplay of different fabrics will have you garnering compliments rather than leaving people thinking you threw on the first shirt and jacket you could find. Wool, linen, denim, corduroy and brushed cotton are all materials that can provide some much needed visual interest to your get-up.

Colour in Season

Whilst fabric weight and texture are important cornerstones of transeasonal dressing, the colours in your outfit require just as much attention. Between seasons, this means you should be pairing neutral tones like navy, charcoal and brown with lighter pastel ones, like sand, light grey and sky blue. Avoid wearing too many light and bright colours at this time of year (unless you want to look like an extra in Miami Vice) Ideally, your outfit should be made up predominantly of those quieter, more subtle hues, with one or two pieces providing contrast either by being lighter or darker than the rest, or by adding a pop of colour. This could mean wearing an olive green t-shirt under a taupe suit, or a light shirt under a darker ensemble. Have fun and play around with it, but avoid the risk of overdoing it.

Building a transeasonal wardrobe allows you to easily adapt to any situation and look good in any setting. You can leave the house confident that you’re prepared for anything. And the best part? We’ve got everything that you need to get started. All you need to do is decide which items will make your life (and mornings) a whole lot easier.
