But that’s not all. As ever, Sydney Fashion Week kept us on our sartorial toes with statement silhouettes, unexpected pairings, and bold pops of color.

If you’ve been looking for a lesson in layering, you’ve arrived at the right place. Down under, some of Sydney Fashion Week’s chicest attendees turned to gauzy knits layered atop luxe leather midiskirts, roomy polos teamed with sporty track pants, and polished car coats worn over longline Bermuda shorts. Some of the season’s top dress trends were on display, too, from decorative crochet frocks to pretty floral prints.

Intimidated by wearing all black in the summertime? Don’t be. Follow the lead of several looks below and brighten yours up with colorful sandals, embellished handbags, and earthy pendant necklaces. Or, ground your next monochromatic ensemble with a bohemian-inspired clog sandal à la Chloé. And when in doubt, slip into a pair of lace-trimmed mini shorts with a roomy blouson, heeled thong sandals, and a The Row bag. It’s a fashion week formula that works every time.

With late spring still in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, comb through our favorite street style trends from Sydney to craft your next great look. Otherwise, see you later this summer for the menswear shows and couture week—we’re already counting down the days.

The Lace Mini Short Moment

Shorts and summer go hand in hand—but none feel more romantic, or more street style-approved, than the lace-trimmed mini. Like this showgoer, style yours from Dôen with a roomy blouson and easy tank underneath, then add a welcome pop of color with a pair of chartreuse heeled thong sandals. A rich chocolate-brown tote and sporty shades ground the look perfectly.
