Melbourne is renowned for its fashion, with every local strolling down the street in the typical Melbournians chic style. Which brings together the practical style of clothes needed for the ever-changing weather of Melbourne, with the city’s fashionable elegance. 

Layers

Melbourne is renowned for having four seasons in one day, with the morning being ice cold, mid-day being a roasting sunny hot, the afternoon having a trickle of rain, and then the nights full of strong winds! Dressing so you are ready for all seasons can be quite hard if you aren’t an experienced Melbourne visitor, so following the local’s key rule is best. This rule is layering, with Melbournians continually shedding and re-putting on the layers depending on the hour’s temperature. This is a lot easier to do with the light layers that are in style, so you can pack them all into your bag without fuss, instead of having to hold chunky jumpers and coats in your arms.

Shoes good the Rain

No matter what month you travel to Melbourne in, most of the time, you will be caught in at least one rainstorm. These typically only last a couple of hours if that, so it usually doesn’t wreck your whole day of sightseeing. However, walking through the rain can be tricky when you opt to wear strappy sandals or thongs, so most locals opt to choose some boots or runners no matter what season!

All Black

No matter who you are looking at, when viewing the sea of locals as they stroll about the city, they are all sporting at least one black item. Most don’t even know how it began, but the fashion to wear black, even at times, all black, has been a city tradition for years now. This is great for those who are sightseeing about the city in the day, and then are keen to enjoy the nightlife after the sunsets. With the black outfit being perfect for both the day and night adventures!
