Summer & Christmas
What to Wear This Summer and at Christmas
Down here, Christmas is peak summer, so the two go hand in hand. Here is how to dress for the whole warm-weather stretch, from a hot Christmas lunch to New Year's Eve and every long day in between.
The Aussie festive season

Easy from lunch to sunset

Summer and Christmas questions
What do you wear to an Australian Christmas?
Dress for heat, because a local Christmas usually means sun and an outdoor table. A light midi or a floaty dress in a breathable fabric, with flat sandals, keeps you comfortable through a long lunch. Add a festive print or a red if you love a bit of Christmas spirit.
Shop Christmas outfitsWhat should I wear on New Year's Eve?
New Year is your excuse to go a little bolder. A sequin dress, a bright colour or a sleek bodycon all suit the occasion. Pick something you can dance in and still feel great in at midnight.
Shop sequinsWhat are the best fabrics for a hot summer day?
Look for natural fibres and light, floaty weaves that let the air move. They breathe far better than heavy or clingy fabrics when the temperature climbs. The fabric is listed on every product page, so you can check before you buy.

A floaty midi or maxi in a soft print, in a fabric that breathes, is ideal for a warm-weather wedding. Keep clear of white, and bring a wrap for the evening. Our wedding guest guide has the dress codes if you need them.
