It’s winter in Australia and all you can think about is the lush palm trees, cheap cocktails and beach paradises of Asia. But once you take the leap and finally book that amazing winter vacay, rummaging through your wardrobe is horrifying; What have all your perfect little sun dresses, moped friendly shorts and casual tees gone?!
With just 17 (including shoes and bathers!) in season, affordable and wrinkle resistant pieces you can create an extremely versatile and on-point capsule wardrobe for your big 2 week holiday easily.
Day 1
Day & Night time
You’ll spend your day travelling to and from airports in opposite climates and have to sleep in a pressurised metal tube with shoddy heating, so there’s no better time than this to be comfy.
Day 2
Day time
It’s the first day of your amazing tropical getaway, so why not spend it lounging by the pool, sipping cocktails and working on that tan?
Night time
After a hard day of relaxing, it’s time to get a little trashy and head out to a local bar for some dancing and tomfoolery.
Day 3
Day time
No rest for the wicked! The next 3 days will see you doing something along the lines of hiking, playing with elephants or exploring ancient ruins, so let Lara Croft be your style guide and let’s get dirty.
Night time
A casual dinner out at the local noodle hut with a few brewskies will polish this day off nicely.
Outfit 4
Day time
You’ve had some interesting encounters with local flora and fauna, but thanks to your sensible fashion choices there’s no accidental undie flashes or nip slips to be had here.
Night time
You decide on a slightly more luxe dinner and head to the nearest resort to gorge on cocktails and seafood by the ocean.
Outfit 5
Day time
This is your last day in the wilderness, so let’s make to most of it!
Night time
A night out at the local dive bar means casual tee, a few too many rums and making some brand spanking new mates.
Outfit 6
Day time
You’re back to the hustle and bustle of a packed tourist town on the coast, which means it’s time to scrub off that jungle dirt and get jazzed up for a few days of token tourist traps.
Night time
Oh yeah baby! Time to get your glad rags on and show the town whats hot (that’s you chicky-babe!).
Day 7
Day time
After a little too much shopping and a tad too much eating, just wandering around town and then chilling by the pool sounds good today. Also, today it would be a good day to do a load of washing!
Night time
Nothing too crazy tonight; just lobster on the beach by candlelight.
Day 8
Day & Night time
Boat party biatches! Comfortable yet stylish is key today because you’ll still need to look hot when the video of you being pushed off the boat and handling it like a boss goes viral.
Day 9
Day time
Wandering around the local town and taking in the sites is the plan of the day today.
Night time
After a big one last night, you decide to have a beer at the pool bar and the eat at the nearest restaurant before Netflix & literally chilling.
Day 10
Day time
Up and attem nice and early to catch the tour you booked yesterday, Get some culture up in ya!
Night time
You don’t have any plans tonight so decide to go wander the main strip to see what’s on, so you had better be prepared for anything.
Day 11

Another day, another tour!
Night time
Whether it’s out with the girls or a date with that guy you met last night, this dress will slay.
Day 12
Day & Night time
Today is a relaxing day, just wandering around seeing the sights of this gorgeous town.
Day 13
