What is the traditional dress of Australia

Australian clothing can be summed up in two words - casual. On the streets of Sydney you won't find the fashion of Paris, the elegance of London or the elegance of Milan. But the colorful casual clothing of Australians highlights the ease, kindness and simplicity of Australians. But Australians also know exactly what to wear and when to wear it.

Working time:

Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the city's working population is well-dressed. The men are usually in suits, ties, shoes and briefcases, while the women are in lapel skirts and high heels. A cell phone is also a must-have.

After work:

Australians come home from work in light casual clothes. Because most cities in Australia have warm seasons and long summers, most people wear shorts or skirts after work and on weekends and vacations. In the fall and winter, most people wear jeans and cotton shirts.

Socializing:

Parties and dinnersAustralians have inherited the European tradition of dressing up for formal occasions. Men wear black tuxedos, rented or purchased, and women choose a favorite evening gown and wear appropriate jewelry and perfume. If it takes two hours to dress up for an hour of socializing, Australians are willing to do it, and perhaps they value the few opportunities they have.

Elderly:

The most well-dressed people in Australia are not the young but the retired elderly. They are always dressed in their brightest clothes, regardless of the time of year, and the old men love to wear the same old skinny light-colored suits from their youth with a light-colored English hat for all seasons.

No designer labels: Anyone familiar with Australia will recognize that people dress well, but they don't wear designer labels. Few people can name a few of the world's most famous brands of clothing off the top of their head. Even if you know the brand name and can afford it, you don't want to spend your money on designer clothes, because in the eyes of Australians, housing and cars should be more important and more practical than designer clothes.

The biggest selling items of clothing in Australia are shirts, pants, jeans, swimsuits, beach pants, flip-flops and sneakers. Most of these products are produced in China, India, Malaysia, Korea and Indonesia.
