MBFW Sydney was a fashion week filled mostly with womenswear but also a few select menswear shows and pieces. As one might expect in the land down under, swimwear is big was featured randomly during the week for men.

Aussie swimwear brand We Are Handsome showed a combo of speedos mixed with swim trunks for men, patterned with colorful floral or tropical looks etched with grey, quite representative of their signature style. A surefire way to ring summer the Aussie way (all while most of the world welcomes fall, of course).

Changing courses from diving to dapper, a few suits from Calibre were also featured during the Red Carpet runway, which showed red-carpet appropriate looks (mainly for women) from a variety of different designers. Calibre’s suits were traditional and well-tailored, perfect for walking an evening red carpet. Or, for most men in the world, for a special date out, wedding etc.

The suits weren’t particularly trendy, but simply elegant. Isn’t that what you want for evening wear anyway?

Beach bum by day, red carpet by night, not a bad way to spend your time, Aussies!
