Destination Dressing

Style varies hugely across our large continent. Whether you’re going to a wedding in Adelaide, have a function in Sydney or a baby shower in Brisbane, one dress for every city just won’t cut it. From Adelaide to Brisbane you are dealing with different climates, local fashions, and degrees of formality! A little black dress may get you most places in Sydney but will look out of place by the river in Brisbane or Adelaide. In Sydney more is always more, while Adelaide prefers a more classic take on trends, and Brisbane is all about street style. Given all these differences, dress hire is a sustainable and affordable alternative to buying a whole new wardrobe for interstate events. To help you out, let’s take a closer look at the styles of Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney and the best dress hire to suit each capital city.

Adelaide

Asking “what should I wear in Adelaide?” could be rephrased as “what should I wear to a winery” Adelaide’s identity is shaped by the Adelaide Hills, Barossa and Clare valleys, some of the world’s best wine regions. A Mediterranean climate and near-constant sunshine means you can pull off almost anything style-wise but it’s best to keep things easy and timeless. Smart-casual is the name of the game in Adelaide, so anything classic in a summery print is bound to go down well. Talulah is an Australian designer that makes bright timeless dresses for every occasion. The We Found Love Mini Dress is a one-shoulder striped piece with a tucked waist that will take you everywhere in Adelaide.

Brisbane

Great weather year-round makes Brisbane style less about seasons and more about fun. A flowing dress, ballet flats, and sunglasses are all you need to pull together an outfit in the sunshine state. That said, locals know a thing or two about streetwear and surf style so they will appreciate on-trend details like a super bright print. Since you don’t need formal wear very often in easy-going Brisbane, dress hire is a popular choice among locals for special occasions. In keeping with Brisbane’s relaxed style, the flowing Wild Print Dress by Camilla is our top pick for keeping cool and chic.

Sydney

You can dress to the nines in Sydney and still feel under-dressed. Sydney-siders take their designers very seriously and, thanks to the warm climate, love to play with inventive and eye-catching looks. Whatever your reason for visiting, Sydney provides an opportunity to play dress-up from head to toe. Dress hire from a sought after local designer such as Alex Perry, Thurley and Dion Lee will serve you well in getting your look just right. We especially love the Rose Ceremony Midi Dress for red carpet level glamour.
