An Australian brand specialising in tights would have to be from Melbourne - known for its cool weather and style. Tightology has turned legwear into a science, and it's kind to the environment too.

This stunning tunic in Loden from another Melbourne player, Mesop, embodies the brand's spirit; it's natural, simple and good to look at... not to mention easy on the credit card.

Country Road kidswear is doing small boys a big favour, with a range of high quality, easy to wear clothing in yummy colours - and not a logo or superhero in sight!

The floppy leather jacket, offered here by Amanda Wakeley, is everywhere this season, lending a softer, tactile appeal to that old biker girl staple.

A strong tote in genuine leather, like this tasty black one by Country Road's older sibling Trenery, will stand you in good stead for many seasons to come.

Easton Pearson's take on a time honoured look doesn't skip a beat, the Faster Shirt and Edit Pant giving gossamer weightlessness and modern edge to a classic style.

From left to right: Sambag, boyfriend jacket, Mimco comb.

If you have an "Ab-Fab" streak, this superb Zebra stripe bag of tricks from Sambag is for you. The quality and finish are impeccable, resulting in pure tongue in cheek class.

Boyfriend jackets are so slouchy-cool you have to wonder why it took so long for them to stage their fantastic revival. Who cares? Welcome them with open arms.

This beautiful Poppy Love Comb from Mimco is a small treasure. Whether pinning back short or long locks, it will turn heads and make any outfit a statement.

From left to right: Coussinet, Luci Pearl, Body by Dainy Sawatzky.

Boutique accessories label Coussinet can always be relied upon to add its own special flair to the art of adornment, as perfectly demonstrated by this delicate, elegant scarf.

Sydney bag deisgner Luci Pearl has created a small miracle with this handsome tote. Able to fit laptop, it comes with a short and long strap and also magically morphs into a smaller bag.

Body by Dainy Sawatzky claims to be "inspired by the beauty of real women with real lives", but we beg to differ. Body makes real women feel truly sublime.

From left to right: Elie Saab cape, Witchery holdall, cut out leggings

The trend for capes of all sizes looks set to continue well into the autumn/winter season, as well as morphing into an eveningwear look, characterised by this sumptuous black number by Elie Saab.

Having looked after the ladies for years, Witchery's transformation into a successful menswear brand seems complete: they've thought of everything - including an overnight bag for style savvy blokes.

It's hard to imagine life without leggings, and this now indispensable fashion staple just seems to keep evolving, with patterned styles increasingly giving way to more daring cut out versions.

From left to right: NuBra, Fate chrysanthemum frock, Sussan tank dress.

As summer reaches its height, girls are reaching for strapless numbers that set off tanned shoulders to best effect. Naturally this look does not sit well with visible bra straps, making the gravity defying NuBra, a fave of Kate Hudson and Oprah, the season's must. www.nubra.com.au

Frocks are big this summer, like this very appealing chrysanthemum print dress by Fate. Whether casual or smart, they should be easy to slip on and can be teamed with the season's new hit, flat brogues. Sunnies and bottles of fizz also work well with this look.

For an even more relaxed vibe, the tank dress is a winner this summer. Take this peak hemmed number from Sussan and work it back with thongs, classic plimsolls or espadrilles for a stroll on the sand or a mosey down the mall.
