Street wear is fashionable and comfy way of showing your personality. There is no hard and fast rule about this fashion trend. Street style has taken off in Australia and much of the credit goes to social media for highlighting Australian streetwear worn by celebs – from Chris Hemsworth to Nicole Kidman. But, first let’s take a peek into what street fashion is and how it seized the spotlight.
Street style what we are acquainted with today originally brought in the 70s by a famous fashion photographer Bill Cunningham. He used to take photos of well-dressed women on streets in candid situations and since then, the advent of the fashion began. Later, Melbourne Fashion events surged the demand for Australian streetwear both online and also at high street fashion outlets in the country.
Below is the list of five top street style fashion that is never going to fade and every celeb falls back on when in doubt.
Midi slip skirts
A failsafe number that will always draw attention – the mid-length slip skirts. It never fails to make a signature statement whether you pair it with a crop top, a graphic t-shirt and for a little retro touch, a matching headband or wedge will do the magic. Bustier and blazer will give a dressy look and protect from the winter.
Everyday Hoodies
Hoodies truly are a wonder garment, especially when you buy it from Australia’s best streetwear brand. It is functional, stylish, comfortable, comes in various shapes and sizes, mostly unisex and a classic street style showstopper material! Thanks to Australia’s continuing steamy love affair with hooded apparels, banging on this trend is not so difficult.
Snapback hats
Carrying street style has never been easier than with wearing a snapback hat. According to many, the hip hop staple still looks great with oversized jackets and baggy bottoms like it was in the 90s, but Fashion Week runways have shown us how to nail a snapback hat with stylish, edge and contemporary outfit.

Clashing strips
A well-tested styling trick adopted by street style lovers is clashing stripes. You can distinguish your stripes by pairing a horizontally printed t-shirt with a vertically striped skirt. Mixing a pinstripe sweater with a clashing bottom will also make your street-ready just like that. Easy and a style worth trying!
Long sleeves polo t-shirts under dresses
This is a throwback fashion that is in the count for Australian streetwear top trends because many are a big fan of this style, especially when the winters are moderate in Australia. A most embellished spaghetti-strap maxi dress can perfectly be paired with long sleeve polo tees and can make heads turn.
Last year’s Australian Fashion Week has taught us a lot about streetwear and Aussies are happily recreating plethora of style statements although it is more like an intimate and inside-the-home affair post COVID-19. Considering that, it wouldn’t be too off-fashion to include masks and face covers in this list.
