The Street Style in Sydney Right Now Is All About the Little Details

This May 9–17, Who What Wear Australia presents its third annual Street Style Awards#TheStreeties, honouring the tastemakers and industry insiders whose style sets the tone and influences the world of fashion today. Last year, Chloe Hill was crowned the winner of the 2017 Street Style Awards for her ability to push boundaries with flair and colour. We can't wait to see what 2018 has in store. 

Our street style awards have seen some major looks served up this week throughout Fashion Week Australia, and Day 4 is no exception. So far, we’ve focused on styling, accessories, sleek looks, and today? It’s all in the details.

Sometimes it really is the detail that matters, and today’s best street style looks prove it. Even the smallest details can have a huge impact, transforming an otherwise typical look into something completely unique. Whether it’s an interesting texture, creative embellishment, or even just an unexpected fastening, the things that often go unnoticed are sometimes the most impactful.

 Fashion Week Australia is nothing if not inspiring, so if you’re itching to be a part of it, don’t forget to post your own street style images with the hashtag #TheStreeties and tag us @whowhatwear.au… Maybe you’ll even be featured in an upcoming gallery. For inspiration, look no further. Click through the images below for a glimpse of our favourite Fashion Week Australia street style details.

STYLE TIP: Choose a bag that's a little different to really punch up your outfit. This version with extra-long fringe rounds out the outfit in way that a simpler bag wouldn't.
