The days are filled with clear blue skies, sunshine and warmth (without the humidity) and it can only mean one thing - winter on the GC has arrived! It’s time to swap your boardies for baggy jeans and pull out your hoodies instead of your Havaianas. Join us in paradise as we flex our creative muscles this season blending texture, colour, prints and shape through layers of fun fashion curated especially for winter in Paradise.
This season, trends are taking a turn to utilitarian with 90s cargo pants, low rise baggy jeans, oversized motocross or biker jackets and mix and match denim all returning in the form of wearable silhouettes with interesting pocket placement. While minimalistic styles in a neutral colour palette like brown, beige or forest green are a go-to this season, add pops of colour with glossy red hues and vibrant orange undertones as they will add interest to any outfit.
Leather is the statement jacket for winter ‘23. Wear it over jeans, with tailored slouchy track pants, or style it back with a simple singlet underneath or a slip dress for a night out. We love the oversize moto, bomber and varsity jackets available at Factorie, in a range of colours and fabrics to help you achieve the polished "I got this" vibe. Complete the look with shield, sport or aviator style sunglasses from iKandi Sunglasses to create a playful and eccentric, motorcross-inspired statement.
The change of season signals a few months of cosiness and comfort ahead. Double down on athletic gear this winter and style your Stateside Sports’ jersey with classic kicks and tube socks from Platypus Shoes and a backwards hat or waffle knit beanie from Fast Times Skateboarding. Try Rip Curl to achieve the 90s silhouette with a vintage crop tee and low waisted cargo pant, skirt or jean as this style still reigns supreme for this winter. Look for oversized knits, cardigans and turtlenecks in timeless cuts that be used for layering. Think vintage style logo tops and slouchy jeans from Surf Dive ’n Ski with old skool sneakers from Vans to achieve a “eureka” type GC pairing.
