How Every Melbourne Girl Dresses for Work in Summer

Last month, we showed you the pieces every Sydney girl wears to stay cool in summer—so we thought it only right to showcase the items that fill up our Melbourne sisters’ wardrobes. As we mainly work from our offices in Sydney, we tracked down Melbourne-based fashion forecaster for Sportsgirl, Jessica Burrow, for her insights.

“Melbournians are the masters of effortlessly stylish layering. When it comes to summer dressing, comfort and light layering is key to ensure you’re not freezing inside the office, while temperatures are scorching outside. Aka: typical Melbourne weather in summer. Summer office dressing is all about looking fashionable yet effortlessly cool, top to toe, and these are the pieces that are always #trending.”
