There’s something magical about a long lunch that rolls into the late afternoon—especially when you're dressed just right for it. Whether it’s a coastal catch-up, a garden gathering, or a midday glass of wine somewhere sunny, comfort and colourful fashion are key.

Float Through It

Floaty maxi dresses are made for moments like these. Look for easy midis or bohemian kaftans in breathable fabrics like cotton and rayon. These relaxed cuts let you enjoy every course in comfort—no fidgeting or fussing required. You want to feel at ease enough to go for dessert and stay for another cuppa.

The Effortless Kaftan (That Always Wins)

A good kaftan is a wardrobe hero. Just pop it on, add a slide or sandal, and you’re good to go. Pair it with a wide-brim hat and a bright bangle or two, and suddenly you’ve gone from “just stepped out” to “stepped it up”—without trying. It’s what we like to call resortwear with ease.

Add a Touch of Shine

Don’t forget the finishing touches. A statement necklace, oversized sunglasses, or a woven tote bring a fun flourish to any look. And if you’re heading somewhere with a breeze, layer with a relaxed shirt or lightweight jacket for that extra touch of Australian fashion know-how.
