Australian fashion was not always respected throughout the world. It was not until more recent years that Australia has been regarded as having stylish up to date fashion. Throughout Australia there are many outside factors that influence Australian fashion. Some of them being the following: Australian Fashion Week (and more specifically the fashion designers showcased in Fashion Week), fashion blogs, retail stores (mainly department stores in early years), Europe, the weather, and finally the fact that a large percentage of the population lives very close to the coastline and the beaches.
With the Australian summer is winding down in some places, but here in the Gold Coast the warm weather continues to come. With that being said, I will give some quick and easy fashion must haves to help survive the Gold Coast weather, while still sticking with the Australian fashion trends.

Every wardrobe needs a few specific items in order to complete and perfect any outfit. The first and probably the most important item every girl needs in her wardrobe is a bathing suit, but more specifically, a bikini.
A bikini is the perfect thing to wear to the beach. With the weather always being warm on the Gold Coast, people are constantly going to the beach to swim, surf, or just relax. You cannot live on the Gold Coast and not have a bikini. This is by far the most essential item to have.
There are many designers that have continued to create different bikinis for woman of all shapes and sizes. Some of the best bathing suit designers are:
- Tigerlily
- Seafolly
- Jets
- Baku
- Ginja

Another important piece of clothing every girl needs in her wardrobe is for the warm Australian weather is a dress.
In the warm weather, no one wants the struggle of heavy articles of clothing. A dress is the perfect item to just slip on and off during the warm summer time. You can wear a dress to the beach, to go shopping, or even to go grab coffee with some mates.

Another really popular trend that is happening in Australia right now is anything that is high-waisted, but more specifically high-waisted jean shorts.
These high-waisted jean shorts are something that every girl should have in their closet. The come is all different colors from bright yellow to classic denim. These shorts go with just about any top no matter the color, print, or pattern. High-waisted shorts are also very flattering on the female figure. The hide girl's hips and emphasize their waste, which tends to be the smallest part on women.

With the weather typically being hot in the Gold Coast, clothing that is light weight helps to keep your body temperature down. With that being said, crop tops have been becoming a huge hit on the Gold Coast.
These crop tops are the perfect thing to wear, whether it would be under something, with a skirt, or even the high-wasted jean shorts that I talked about earlier. Crop tops come in all different colors, patterns, material, and shapes. Some are longer than others, and some are more sheer than others. These crop tops are a must have in every wardrobe.
Some popular retail stores that carry these items are listed below:
- Supre
- Jay Jays
- Cotton On
- Billabong
- Roxy
Another really important item to have is something that some people don't always think of, a hat. A hat is extremely important when outside in the sun.
Hats are a trend that have been popular for years now. A hat is the perfect accessory that can really add that extra touch to an outfit. Hats are perfect to protect your face from the sun and the harmful UV rays. There are some many different kinds of hats, so you can pick how big or small you want, just as long as it protects your head.
