The Winter ’24 Men’s Fashion Edit
By Fashion Sub-Editor Bea Harrison
▼
Winter in Tasmania is cold. Really cold.
With temperatures dipping as low as 3℃ overnight, and occasionally peaking no further than 5℃ during the day, a warm wardrobe is a must. But, despite the ubiquitous Tassie Tuxedo (a black puffer jacket) for which locals are ridiculed, there’s still plenty of opportunities to flex a style muscle throughout the cooler months.
The Winter ‘24 Men’s Fashion Edit covers work, weekend and night out looks, with many of the items available in Tasmanian shops, and some even designed by local creatives. Warm up and look good doing it.
WORK
