When it comes to going out partying or socialising, ladies really do make an effort here. Black is a really popular color in winter — particularly ladies — top to toe, with an accent color coming from a loosely tied scarf because it's genuinely chilly morning and evening at this time of year or handbag. Scarves are really popular here, with both men and women. And any style goes. Clothing Tips For Men In the centre of the City, most of the employment is corporate or professional, so a smart suit is the order of the day.
You may want to have the jacket available if you have an important meeting or an interview — in an air conditioned office of course — but ties and jackets are certainly not a routine feature here. In the winter scarves are really popular here with men.
Pack For The Weather Bear in mind too that as a sub-tropical climate , you need to be prepared to deal with unexpected and torrential showers at very short notice, so keeping a small umbrella secreted about your person at all times is a very good idea! See below for details. Here are some general tips on what to wear in Brisbane, as well as several items to remember to pack when traveling there.
January in Brisbane is hot. During this time, temperatures average in the high 70s F mid 20s C to low 80s F high 20s C. February in this region is hot.
Temperatures average in the low 80s F high 20s C during the day. It rains about half of the time. March is pretty consistently hot. In April, Brisbane is a perfect temperature. Temperatures routinely are in the high 70s F mid 20s C range. At night, lows are in the low 60s F high 10s C. This is also a rainy time for Brisbane, with several of the days of the month having rain. One of Brisbane's premier stylists and fashion identities, Liz Golding made the transition to behind-the-scenes work after retiring from a successful international modelling career.
She is now responsible for styling models for the Brisbane Fashion Festival as well as campaigns for high-end brands. Brisbane is known for its love of colour and the fashion folk of Brisbane do tend to wear quite adventurous outfits. In recent years there has been a great deal more black worn.
Because of our warm climate we also wear a great deal of dresses. In general, our young girls tend to wear cut-off denim shorts with everything, I think it is a trend that is unique to Brisbane. Our young women tend to wear the Sass and Bide look a great deal - dark, layered, textured and cool. Our older women wear more colour, they wear what suits them. You see more bare arms in Brisbane because of the heat. Andrew Byrne is one half of the team behind Australia's high-end menswear boutiques The Cloakroom and Brisbane-based fashion label Pistols at Dawn.
Experts in mens' talioring, Mr Byrne and his business partner Josh McPherson founded their clothing and effects company in and have attracted widespread critical acclaim. I think the Brisbane way of dressing is something that has evolved a lot in the last few years.
The unique challenges of our climate mean a Brisbane way of dressing must take the weather and heat into account. Anyone can look sharp in winter, but looking good and being comfortable in summer is a different matter. Unlike Sydney we aren't a beach city and what this means is that our way of dressing, and especially dressing casually, isn't as influenced by a beach culture or lifestyle. In Brisbane it's great to see an emerging demographic of 20 and 30 somethings who are exploring a smarter, sharper way to dress, and I think this is helping to create a Brisbane look.
For the most part we are a city of generic, 'easiest option' dressers, but there are pockets of interesting things happening. At The Cloakroom we see guys getting into lighter, unstructured jackets, tailored shorts, lightweight cotton shirts and generally finding ways to avoid t-shirts and Havianas by embracing a smarter look. We see guys wearing jackets and shorts to work.
Go out and you'll be surprised by the number of guys in a jacket on a Friday or Saturday night, even in Summer. You wouldn't have seen this in Brisbane three years ago. One of Brisbane's leading young fashion designers, Joshua Scacheri expanded his menswear label Subfusco into womenswear last year and hasn't looked back. With an international background, Mr Scacheri opened his flagship store in Fortitude Valley's fashion forward TCB building in and is now stocked in boutiques nation-wide.
We definitely have a more casual aesthetic going on within the main stream population [than elsewhere in the country]. This is because we have a hotter climate than the other states. For the more fashion savvy person, Brisbane's style is very similar to Sydney's. It's a mix between surf and street culture.
Formerly a forerunner of Melbourne's notoriously modish electric music, Andrew Ferguson made waves when he opened Brisbane's first list-only club - alloneword - with one of the strictest door policies around. He'll celebrate one year in Brisbane in September and has enjoyed the transition from scarves to singlets. Of course the climate sets them apart.
Melbourne and Sydney are very much about their winter looks and seasonal accents. There's no international fashion capital in a temperate climate and therefore colder cities seem to be more predisposed to haute couture. There definitely is a difference between Melbourne and Brisbane's look but the streetwear in all three cities is converging with the indie-pop generation. Here I see a lot more colour whereas I would describe Melbourne's as a lot darker - everyone seems to wear a lot of black.
That's not an easy one. Usually I'd be listing top grade leather boots, scarves, long jackets, plenty of layers etc but I've traded them all in for singlets and thongs.
For the girls it has to be stilettos and not the hooker-like platforms which seem to be everywhere, just classic, simple and chic. She now collects jewellery from Brisbane's antique stores and markets and prefers clothes that are classic with a twist. Obviously the weather has a big role in the way Brisbane people dress.
It's hot and humid here!
