Winter vs Summer Clothing & Fashion
Winter Fashion vs Summer FashionAs the fall fashion season kicks into gear throughout Australian fashion stores, Europe flips its focus to summer clothing ranges. In Australia, Bikinis, singlets and shorts are swapped for winter coats, stockings, scarf’s and gloves, while the flipside occurs on the other side of the world. Fashion Review Australia poses the question of which reigns more true to Australian fashion culture – winter clothing or summer clothing??
Snapshot: (top to bottom) – Lisa Ho Womens Winter clothing range, Zimmermann womens swimwear, Saba Mens clothing range. Without a doubt the stereotypical consensus is that Australia has its relaxed beachside culture where sunglasses (or rather sunnies), pluggers/thongs, the surf and sand best represent the land we call Australia. However, no one can disagree that times are changing in all regards – including the views of Australian fashion. Without a doubt, interest in Australian fashion trends for both men and women has grown significantly throughout the past decade. Boutique brands are popping up left right and centre, making the Australian fashion industry a tough place for both designers and purchasers a like. No longer are the days where there is no choice for mens clothing. The basic t-shirt, jumper and jeans, (although still of course readily available) are now offered in an array of cuts, colours, styles, and fabric blends. Men’s clothing ranges are just as diverse as women’s clothing ranges – but the question still beckons, mens summer clothing or mens winter clothing? Womens summer clothing or womens winter clothing? On my recent trip to Europe which included visits to the trend setting regions of UK, France, Germany and Italy, I was literally overwhelmed by the choices for both mens and womens clothing and accessories. The ability to dress smart, casual and/or sophisticated at any price range was phenomenal. I traveled in winter which can best by summarized by the term ‘layering’. Europeans had this uncanny ability to wear 3,4,5 or 6 layers of clothing, yet still show off their figures with style. On the flip side however, there was certain level of ‘fleshiness’ that was lacking in the winter clothing. By that I simply mean, I missed the sun on my skin, and for that matter, everyone else’s. I think the topic of winter clothing versus summer clothing is a basis of balance. Lucky enough, we live in a country where we get the best of both worlds, where fashion collections have the choice to vary dramatically yet still reflect the seasons we are in. Winter clothing 1 – Summer clothing 1. Is a draw too liberal?
