Vintage fashion trends

Written by Kate Manley

The forecast for winter 2024 is expected to reflect the global prediction of ‘oversized comfort’. Many leading brands are favouring a vintage look that incorporates knitwear, tweed, plaids, checks and corduroy in relaxed, layered silhouettes.

For Queenslanders, the need for heavy quilted jackets, bulky wool/mohair jackets or thick suede boots are not a priority. This layered look can be pulled together firstly with a silk or cotton shirt, fine knit angora blend cardigan, cotton jersey knit skirt or pants, all teamed with a black or tan thick leather belt and large wrap/scarf.

Colours this season are characterised by the autumn Australian landscape: rich earthy tones, vibrant reds, burnt oranges, deep yellows, and subtle greens. Plus the perennial beige and black.

So step into this new season with confidence by adding just a few essential, oversized pieces that will give you a leading fashion edge. And enjoy the ‘best weather’ that we all love.
