How To: Australian Fashion and Beauty Trends

Australia: home to cute surfers, cuddly koalas, and beachy beauty. My time abroad here in Sydney has been filled with fashion inspo left and right with looks catering to every genre of style, leaving no one unsatisfied! Today, I wanted to focus on one apparent Australian look: the effortless chic or minimalist outfit spiced with fun accessories. So, to get you this modern Aussie style, here are four beauty and fashion trends to follow: 

1. Playful Hair clips 

Hair clips are back! This revived hair trend is great for minimalists who want a simple staple piece or for the edgier type who can layer them for a bolder look. Hair clips in Australia are often seen accompanying a low, sleek bun or soft waves with a middle part. 

2. A Bronzed Glow

Living near the beach seems to inspire this beauty trend! Glowy, bronzed skin is indicative of the famous Australian beach bum lifestyle. Get the look by using a light, dewy foundation topped off with a subtle shimmery bronzer. Self-tanner is equally as popular here! 

3. Classic T-Shirt and Jeans Combo

What’s not to love about this pairing? It’s a classic for a reason! Vintage tees, both cropped and long, are often tucked into high-waisted jeans or cropped thrifted trousers. Give it an Aussie twist by pairing it with a fun tote bag (eco-friendly AND stylish). 

4. Funky Sunnies

The sun is absolutely killer here, so protect your eyes and look good while doing it! Fun sunglasses are an easy way to accentuate your outfit while being practical, too. Push them down the bridge of your nose, eyes slightly peering out, to give off a cool vibe. 

And there you have it! Now you’re four steps closer to achieving Aussie awesomeness.
