Everything To Score On Sale For Your Next Summer Escape

Upgrade your warm-weather drip for less.

Whether you have your eyes set on a European getaway or are already just sick of the cold and the wet, there's a solid chance that, living in Australia, you're already dreaming of sun, sea and sand once again. Thankfully, a silver lining does exist in the Aussie winter: the chance to reinforce your summer wardrobe for less, with swimwear, sunnies and summer apparel all available way cheaper than in the warmer months.

As such, if your summer ensemble is starting to look a little tired, these are the things to stock up on to make sure that, come holidays, you're ready to step into your most stylish summer yet.

Recycled Swimwear

We're entering a golden age of low-impact fashion, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the realm of swimwear, where recycled nylon has taken over as the fabric du jour for many of the world's leading brands. AERE's timelessly stylish swim shorts are made using 100% recycled nylon, ensuring that the only way it ends up in the ocean is by straddling your waist.

Upgraded Sandals

Throw away the pluggers and step into something a little more mature. Beach-ready men's footwear has come along in leaps and bounds with the resurgence in 70s and 80s-inspired resort wear. Slides like Birkenstocks are timeless classics, while Suicoke and Teva make cosy sandals with a high-fashion edge.

Breezy Fabrics

You may have dabbled in a plain white linen shirt already as so many other guys have, but there's a whole lot more to the world of easy, breezy summer clothing. Straight-cut linen pants are an upgrade over bog-standard cotton chinos that'll keep you cool and comfortable whether you're at the beach or the bar, while seersucker, knitted and jersey cotton shirts, worn loose and open, will imbue any fit with a little bit of La Dolce Vita.

Elevated Eyewear

Whether you're into Oakley speed dealers or timeless Ray-Bans, the simple fact of the matter is that you can wear just about every type of shades in a fashionable way in 2023. The most stylish designer sunglasses right now are those that play freely with colour and proportion, but it always pays to have a classic pair in your rotation for smarter occasions and summer weddings. Think Oliver Peoples or Ferragamo.
