When Jane Fonda burst onto the scene in the early 1980s, neither the fashion nor the fitness world had ever experienced anything quite like her. With her brightly coloured leotards worn over matching footless tights, Fonda and her posse of well-toned pals put the fun into functional fitness clothing.

ICYMI, the fashion world is experiencing a major nineties revival.

MBFWA has kicked off in Sydney this week and there’s a whole lot going on – fresh design talent, high-octane shows and a fun-loving fashion crowd.

Heron Preston is a man of many talents; a former DSNY artist, current proprietor of a global retail pop-up store and one-time Kanye collaborator.

It’s no coincidence that men’s luxury watches migrated from pockets to wrists during the early years of World War I. Until then, the pocket watch had proven to be the most reliable way to tell the time while on the run (or, in fact, any time a man should find himself away from home).

When it comes to subtlety, wearing ankle trousers is the ultimate power move. Italian men are renowned for the look and various subcultures have been inspired to follow suit across the decades, which proves that sometimes the best style can be found in the details – abbreviated hemlines being chief among them.

There’s one accessory that’s absolutely essential to successfully wearing mom jeans like a fashion insider, and it’s not the latest handbag or must-have shoe (though both of those things always help). No – the secret to how to wear mom jeans is all in the attitude; a certain ironic nod that signals the fact that you know exactly what you’re doing.

A neckline can set the tone of your entire outfit and, in recent seasons, designers have begun to muse once more on how to pull off the décolleté dress. As a defining element of your look, this cleavage-grazing statement can at first appear brazenly provocative. Upon closer scrutiny, though, it can also work in perfect harmony with the contours of your face and body.

Jumpsuits are one of those items that should be a fashion flash-in-the-pan but that turn out to have real legs (pun intended). Style spotters trace the return of jumpsuit outfits back to 2010, when Céline designer Phoebe Philo wore a strapless black version to the British Fashion Awards.

If the most recent menswear collections showed us anything, it’s that the 80s are back in style – a development that’s caused us to contemplate how to style drop-crotch trousers once more. However, these are not the likes of MC Hammer’s exaggerated metallic versions – instead it's a more streamlined, modern take rendered in luxury fabrications such as sharp suiting and silk.

Growing quietly for several years, the trend for wearing co-ordinates has bloomed into a full-fledged craze, appearing on many catwalks during the AW17 fashion weeks and featuring prominently in subsequent editorials.

The question of how to wear beanie hats is largely dependent on upon your own unique style and clique. Designed to help you brave the great outdoors throughout the cooler months, beanie hats for men work best when they're worn with a sense of casual nonchalance, but also when they're balanced with your outfit in order to strike the desired effect.

Where there are styles rules, there is the potential for mistakes to be made, and nowhere is this truer than when you’re planning what to wear to a wedding. From understanding the dress code to choosing the right accessories, even the most seasoned wedding guest has been known to get it wrong from time to time.

For decades pleated trousers, along with the scrunchie and jelly sandals, have been absent from international fashion, perhaps considered a naughty 90s flirtation out of step with the new millennium. However, a smattering of SS16 shows from the likes of Altuzarra, Hugo Boss and Proenza Schouler suggest pleated trousers are making a comeback.

Anna Wintour showed us how to wear boyfriend jeans back in 1988, when she put a model wearing a pair on her first ever American Vogue cover. The image of Israeli Michaela Bercu in stone-washed Guess denim with beaded Christian Lacroix jacket rocked the fashion world.

Although dressing for warmer weather is like second nature for many Australians, considering what to wear on a rainy day can be far less straightforward. No matter the season, a rainy forecast can wreak wardrobe havoc if you're caught unprepared.

The notion of sports luxe dressing has been inspiring designers for some time now, but the real challenge comes in styling the look so as not to seem like you've just come straight from the gym. First emerging on runways amidst the high-low boundary pushing of couture houses, it somehow feels inextricably linked to the urban style of designers like Kenzo as well.

It’s safe to say jeans have come leaps and bounds since Levi Strauss pioneered the style back in 1873 – his plain blue denim workers’ trousers were light years away from the skinny, flared, slouchy, distressed, embellished, dyed versions of today. Who knows what the Bavarian designer would have thought of the latest denim trend: vibrant, elaborate and sometimes even sparkly embroidered jeans.

The fashion industry is well-known for its flashes of collective unconsciousness; those moments when, without warning, several different designers seem to spontaneously land upon the same idea, all at the same time. So it was with the creation of the first mini skirts in the 1960s

When Hedi Slimane took his final bow as creative director of Saint Laurent, he left behind a legacy of which lingerie dressing is no minor part. Under his reign, the Saint Laurent aesthetic hinged on lacy slips of women’s lingerie (as well as structured blazers and Courtney Love grunge, but that’s another, not altogether unrelated, story).

A derivative of the platform, the flatform has had a short but illustrious fashion history. Anything but a one-trick pony, the best way to wear flatform shoes changes depending on when and who is wearing them. From the moment that Marlene Dietrich first slipped into a Moshe Kimel platform in the 1930s the shoe has occupied a special place in the history of women’s footwear.

The fact is, searching for Mother’s Day gifts can be a complicated business. How do you say ‘thank you’ to someone for bringing life into the world? If you’re lucky, she might have dropped a few select hints – like a screen grab of her entire Farfetch wish list – but failing that, you may need to resort to some proper detective work.

Compared with the immediacy of, say, a thigh-grazing miniskirt, the allure of an ankle-length number is much more of a slow burn, especially if you’ve spent hours toning your pins in the Bikram studio. But once you break down how to style a maxi skirt, this length becomes even more versatile than its shorter sister.

The four wardrobe changeovers required for the distinct seasons of the Northern Hemisphere don’t really apply Down Under and so the question of how to dress for Australian seasons can be inherently complex. Of course, there is a definite joy to be found in the more temperate yearly climate, but this also calls for some strategic forward planning.

The question of how to wear sneakers has become a refreshingly unexpected one. Although athleisure has been big business on the runways for awhile, designers are now fixing a more nuanced lens on the trend. Using appliquéd slip-on sneakers, for example, Alessandro Michele has shifted gears at Gucci to merely hint at sporty lines, rather than following the head-to-toe athletic approach.

We get it; really, we do. You’ve spent the past several seasons quietly amassing a wardrobe of black and white basics that are chic, versatile and, well, safe, and getting dressed has never been simpler. Now fashion’s recent monochrome moment is making way for vivid colours, and a closet full of Pantone brights can seem far more challenging.

Metallic clothing might sound intimidating, but it can actually be incredibly stylish if balanced in just the right way. In fact, metallic fans have always approached these hues as if they were neutrals – because when you think about it, a metallic top does tend to anchor an outfit in much the same way that a white T-shirt does

Everywhere you look, sartorial tastemakers are wearing gingham. On and off the catwalk, the fabric is being interpreted and reinterpreted, appearing in a multitude of different styles and combinations.

The return of hoop earrings is upon us. You remember them, don’t you? The gold hoops, small or large, dangling from every 90s icon’s ears. After building up steam since their muted comeback in 2012, the revival of the hoop earring trend has entered full swing

In his paean to the daily constitutional, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami quipped that ‘pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.' Running puts your body through hell — anyone who says it doesn’t isn’t doing it right, but making the right choices when deciding what to wear running can make a big difference.

Over recent years, mules have re-emerged as among the most versatile and intriguing footwear styles, prompting us to reconsider how to wear mule shoes for right now. Originally designed to be worn in the bedroom, their convenient lack of back means that they are still one of the most effortless styles for kicking your heels up in.

With style icons and fashion industry insiders touting bralette tops as an emerging trend to watch, asking how to wear bralettes has become a pressing question. An unlined, unpadded and unwired version of its underwire cousin, the item’s raison d'être is not to shape or alter the silhouette and it’s not even conclusively considered an undergarment.

As you're kicking off last season’s boots, the onset of the summer season invites a little more frivolity in the footwear department. What could offer a better way to get into the spirit, then, than a pair of designer wedge thongs?

Australia is renowned for its stunning coastlines and white sandy beaches, so naturally locals and visitors frequently think about how to dress for a beach party. Although relaxed in nature, these beach parties can sometimes be tricky to dress for. After all, there are unpredictable obstacles to contend with here

Choosing the best beach sunglasses for you is as much about reflecting your personal style as it is about understanding your face shape. To this day, the scene of Audrey Hepburn peering through wayfarers into the window of Tiffany’s New York remains one of the most iconic images of sunglasses style

With good basics you’ll have endless options. This adage offers such promise and potential — a panacea for our fashion woes! — it’s no wonder lists of wardrobe essentials for women are constantly defined and redefined. The French, apparently, are masters of the basics;

When temperatures begin to soar, it’s easy to sweep style to one side. For beachwear, this can mean reaching for the budgie smugglers or an overly tight board short style. With the correct balance, however, men’s swim shorts can become exemplary beach style staples, with the potential to carry you from the shoreline to the barstool.

Ancient Egyptians encircled their necks with gleaming bands of gold and lapis lazuli; Degas’ ballerinas tied black velvet ribbons above their collarbones to set off frothy white tutus; and 90s grunge kids defied convention with tattoo-like spirals of plastic. Few accessory trends have transcended cultures quite like the choker

Simply wearing fewer clothes does not adequately answer the question of how to dress for an Australian heatwave. No — there are a number of scenarios to consider, as well as an overwhelming number of style choices.

To the Brits they’re flip flops and the Kiwis call them jandals. In Australia, they’ll always be thongs and how to wear thongs here has always involved sun, sand and swimming. Nowadays, however, the beloved double-plugger has been asked to play a much broader role than simply cruising around the backyard barbie and along the beach.

Long before Beyoncé championed fashion bodysuits as the ultimate concert costume (she’s worn designs by everyone from DSquared2 to David Koma while on tour), the alternative leotard was an altogether more demure affair: in fact, the bodysuit trend started decades before Queen Bey was even born.

Few words are as polarising in the world of fashion as culottes. Whether to include these shorts-disguised-as-a-skirt into wardrobe rotation is always up for debate. Michael Kors even posed the question “high-waisted flares vs wide-leg culottes?”

The off-the-shoulder top, a staple of 1980s and early 90s style, has made a comeback, in many different incarnations. Skin-tight jersey numbers, such as those worn by Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell, paired with stone wash jeans, are thankfully not the only option when it comes to how to wear off-the-shoulder tops.

There comes a moment every season when your wardrobe feels in need of some kind of change. Look to trends that strike a balance between feeling fresh and having a long shelf-life: enter nautical style. As with all of the best things in life, the beauty of nautical fashion is in its simplicity.

When Raf Simons sent models down the runway in colour-blocked pastels during his valedictory show at Jil Sander for Autumn 2012 ready to wear, he demonstrated that the fashion world was still inspired by the challenge of getting to grips with colour blocking.

Criss, cross, line, line. The check in theory is a pretty simple concept, but how to wear checks — is that as straightforward? In recent times, designers’ fascination with the print has seen it used in all its most complex styles, from Prince of Wales to madras.

Pulling off beach dresses is a matter of equilibrium. As the mercury rises, so does the difficulty of dressing with both style and comfort in mind. But warmer weather doesn’t have to mean a sartorial slump. Enter the beach dress — breezy enough to add ease to your everyday summer wardrobe
