For casual, say a barbeque at a friend's house try: "Lowes" brand blue singlet "stubbie" brand shorts thongs For formal, say your brother's wedding: "Lowes" brand blue singlet "stubbie" brand shorts black (dress) thongs Seriously, people generally dress far more casually in Aust than in the USA. (Except for work, where casual dress is much less common in business in Oz than in the US). Nobody would notice what lable she is wearing. Is there something special she will be doing here - like some special function - where she has to be dressed up? If she is just coming over as a tourist, suggest that she wears whatever she feels comfortable in - nobody else is going to care. |

How about knee-length pink ugg boots with a frilly Collette Dinnigan
dress??! Seriously, if you are south of Brisbane remember that it is winter at the moment. Standard dress is jeans/trousers with several layers on top. In Melbourne the standard colour is black (although no black jeans please!). Some nightclubs, few restaurants won't let you in if you are wearing sports shoes, but that is about it. If your wife is really worried, just tell her to bring some money & an empty suitcase & fill it up here! Cheers, Lyn "Peter Webb" wrote in message u...

Tell her to wait until you have settled in a bit, and then go shopping. There is no shortage of either women's magazines (with obligatory fashion/shopping bits) or clothing in Australia. If she's worried about sticking out/fitting in...well, yes, you *both* will, but there's not much point in fretting about it. (Note that if sartorial conformity is a big deal to her, you're in for a wardrobe overhaul yourself. It's very unlikely that your pants and shorts are cut like an Aussie's.) About the only fashion tip I'd consider worthy of note is that since you will probably use a line, not a drier, itmight be time to retire the "holy" undergarments and anything else you wouldn't want flapping in the breeze (and strong sunlight). Nancy loved your advice Nancy, i immediately threw away 1/2 of my undergarments for the fear that they would not pass the 'line' test ... i guess we'll have to get used to airing our dirty laundry in public and not keep it all in like the rest of the Americans |
