Fashion!

There are some things I'll just never understand in life. One of them is the Australian fashion. Think of a hippie with half the amount of clothes, and you got an Australian.
The motto here is pretty much "less is best."
Here, you won't see sweat pants, yoga pants, pjs or hoodies in class. You will also never see layers. In America, people were so many layers to style shirts. Here, no one does it at all. Australians get dressed up for uni.

Girls: Casual: In the summer, sundresses are the most popular. Sundresses are commonly paired with boots. Yes, boots. Floral print is very big here. High-waisted shorts are also very common. Another very popular thing here are shirts with holes in them. Not real holes, but crocheted clothes. I personally love the crocheted style and bought a few shirts for myself. Under these shirts, you wouldn't wear a cami. You'd wear a bright colored bandeau or bikini, no matter how cold it is. It's acceptable to wear a bikini anytime of the day. Cropped shirts are huge here. In fact, most shirts are cropped. It's hard to find a shirt that isn't.  Different colored tights are also big.
Going Out: Dresses are very different here. They are very short and tight, but have high necks. It's very uncommon to see a short dress with a lot of cleavage. Bar tenders are normally topless or in lingerie.

Guys: Casual: Guys wear such short shorts. They are about half the length of guy’s shorts at home. Guys wear singlets and shorts pretty much everyday. They don't wear jean shorts though. They have shorts that are cotton, I guess, and come in multiple colors. Guys wear skinny jeans and flip-flops too. It's perfectly acceptable to wear swim trunks to class.
At the Gym:  Guys will wear swim trunks or short shorts with a slinget. It's the same as casual wear.

Going out: Guys wear their skinny jeans and a button up shirt.

Yeah, fashion is heaps different than in the U.S.
