Boho Chic in Suede
Suede is making a major comeback in 2025, adding a soft, earthy vibe to boho-chic looks. Think suede jackets, skirts, and accessories that give off a laid-back, free-spirited feel. Paired with casual boots or sandals, suede embodies the essence of both comfort and style, perfect for Australian climates and landscapes.

Animal print adds a touch of wildness to your look, making it an ideal way to incorporate a statement piece into any outfit.
Thong Sandals: Comfortable and Stylish
Thong sandals, especially in leather or sustainable materials, are making waves in 2025. These iconic footwear pieces not only offer comfort but also effortlessly complement casual and boho styles. They’re perfect for those beachy Aussie days and laid-back weekend outfits.
Hot Pants and Short Shorts: Embrace the Heat
Short shorts are back, and they’re not just for the beach anymore. Expect to see them paired with oversized blouses or tucked-in tees for a fresh take on this nostalgic trend. It’s all about embracing the Aussie sun while staying stylish and cool.
The Return of Suede: More Than Just Jackets
