The Street Style in Sydney Right Now Is All About the Little Details
This May 9–17, Who What Wear Australia presents its third annual Street Style Awards, #TheStreeties, honouring the tastemakers and industry insiders whose style sets the tone and influences the world of fashion today. Last year, Chloe Hill was crowned the winner of the 2017 Street Style Awards for her ability to push boundaries with flair and colour. We can't wait to see what 2018 has in store.
Our street style awards have seen some major looks served up this week throughout Fashion Week Australia, and Day 4 is no exception. So far, we’ve focused on styling, accessories, sleek looks, and today? It’s all in the details.
Sometimes it really is the detail that matters, and today’s best street style looks prove it. Even the smallest details can have a huge impact, transforming an otherwise typical look into something completely unique. Whether it’s an interesting texture, creative embellishment, or even just an unexpected fastening, the things that often go unnoticed are sometimes the most impactful.
Fashion Week Australia is nothing if not inspiring, so if you’re itching to be a part of it, don’t forget to post your own street style images with the hashtag #TheStreeties and tag us @whowhatwear.au… Maybe you’ll even be featured in an upcoming gallery. For inspiration, look no further. Click through the images below for a glimpse of our favourite Fashion Week Australia street style details.
WHO: Eleanor Pendleton
STYLE TIP: Statement buttons make a simple outfit stand out.
STYLE TIP: The belt bag makes for an interesting contrast with the dress, but works well to tie the entire look together with the shoes.
STYLE TIP: Choose a bag that's a little different to really punch up your outfit. This version with extra-long fringe rounds out the outfit in way that a simpler bag wouldn't.
STYLE TIP: The silver bag and mustard turtleneck upgrade this white boiler suit into a complete look.
STYLE TIP: The Off White utility belt makes a statement paired with the more structured checked suit.
STYLE TIP: The bright hue of this bag stands out against a neutrally-coloured outfit.
WHO: Olive Cooke
STYLE TIP: The print of this maxi skirt pulls Cooke's otherwise simple outfit together in a way that feels fresh but still relaxed.
WHO: Yan Yan Chan
STYLE TIP: The texture of this skirt brings Chan's outfit to a whole new level. Keeping the rest of the outfit classic is the trick to pulling off something so bold.
STYLE TIP: Transparent bags are trending right now, and this one proves that the look can still be upscale when paired with the right outfit.
WHO: Holly Titheridge
STYLE TIP: Pairing a flowy dress with an unexpected bag and shoes takes a dress from girly to edgy instantly. The triangular Balenciaga bag adds a modern feel, while the combat boots give the look a slightly rebellious feel.
WHO: Kate Waterhouse
STYLE TIP: Pair multiple statement pieces together for an ultra-chic look. This detailed jumper combined with the leopard print heels stands out in a good way.
WHO: Claudia Jukic and Dannielle Cartisano
STYLE TIP: Though these outfits stay within a neutral colour palette, the ruffles on each make for chic, coordinated looks. The ruffle neckline on the white blouse and the detailing on the silk skirt add a feminine feel to already refined outfits.
WHO: Tanja Gacic
STYLE TIP: Gacic's strappy sandals are the dream shoes of 2018. With the square toe and thin block heel, the red pumps pair effortlessly with her coordinating bag.
