Brisbane's Fashion Scene: A Winter Perspective
There’s a lot to love about Brisbane in the Winter time - particularly from a sartorial perspective. Chilly enough to warrant a jacket but not so cold you’re having to cover it with a puffer, this time of year represents the ideal window to flex your style muscle. And Oscar Hunt knows just how to help.
This week, we’re diving into the world of tailored suits in Brisbane through a specifically Winter lens, unpacking the best of the season and breaking down Brisbane Winter style.
What to wear in Brisbane Winter
Let’s start with the basics: the pieces that you actually need in the first place. While this varies depending on profession and personal taste, in our opinion there are a couple of foundational pieces that will hold any modern Australian man in good stead.
The first is a blazer or sports coat. Just as easy to dress down with jeans as it is to dress up with trousers and a button-down shirt, this is a true wardrobe chameleon.
The second is the humble pair of chinos. Our recommendation is to opt for a versatile colour like navy or tan to maximise the number of combinations you can create.
And the third is a good quality knit. As effective at adding a little extra warmth as it is at giving a debonair finishing touch to an otherwise casual outfit, this is a piece that you’ll wear all season long.
What fabrics to choose
So far, we’ve laid out the basic elements that could make up a Brisbane winter outfit - now it’s time to get into the detail, and more specifically fabrics.
While men’s winter fashion in Brisbane certainly doesn’t call for overly heavy weight cloth like bulky tweeds, it does still warrant something a little different from the fabric you can wear during warmer months.
Our recommendation at the moment is corduroy. A fantastic, textured fabric - it looks just as good in a suit as it does in separates and adds a distinctive touch to your Winter wardrobe. If this is a little too bold for your liking, another favourite is wool silk blends; breathable while still being cosy, this fabric lends a true sense of occasion to any piece.
How to style the perfect Brisbane Winter outfit
With the foundations in place, you’re ready to style your look. While this comes down to your sense of personal taste, the team at Oscar Hunt is quite partial to layering a plain cotton shirt with a corduroy blazer and finishing it off with a knit, loosely knotted around the shoulders. This pairs just as easily with trousers as it does with a lighter wash of denim, depending on the occasion.
