Australia
Sydney runs southern-hemisphere seasons inverted — May through August is autumn/winter with 22-26°C / 72-79°F days dropping to 9-12°C / 48-54°F nights. The defining feature is the harbor + beach culture: Bondi, Bronte, Coogee define the eastern beach scene, while Manly across the harbor is the surf-culture northern. Sydney style favors relaxed quality basics, contemporary tailoring, and local Australian brands (Camilla, Zimmermann, Bassike, Aje). The southern winter is mild (rarely below 5°C / 41°F; Australians underdress by Northern Hemisphere standards and a wool layer suffices. Skip the heavy coat unless visiting the Blue Mountains.
