In a world saturated by social media and street style fashion, being loud, bright and bold is the default setting of many high profile peacocks. While Australian style has its roots in bold aesthetics, there is a subtle shift happening, subtle being the key word. Chic, clean lines and shapes are king and the fuss free Duchess of Cambridge is the queen of classic dressing. 
The artist formerly known as Kate personifies classic style. How? Well for starters she invests in timeless hero pieces. Remember her cornflower blue trench coat, that lacy tunic and nude heels she wore during the Australian and New Zealand royal tour back in 2014? Now even years later she continues to don them for public engagements where she continues to be applauded by fashion commentators and her loyal subjects alike.
Closer to home and some of our most stylish personalities now channel Kate and the clean, cool Scandinavian way when it comes to dressing.

The model rarely wears a print but when she does it is soft yet sophisticated. Campbell is a champion of Australian designers who keep it clean. Whether she's rocking a lacy number by Lover, a cheeky Camilla and Marc jumpsuit, an off the shoulder billowing blouse by Ellery or a backless shift dress by NYC based Aussies Tome, she's strikes the right balance between striking and sedate.

While the Sunrise host shares a stylist with Campbell, even with her off duty looks she prefers quality fabrics and shapes over slogan T-shirts and on trend looks. Block colours, innovative cuts and quirky necklines are her forte. No matter where Armytage finds herself she rarely puts a foot wrong. Whether it's a red carpet event swathed in Carla Zampatti crepe or kicking around Double Bay in white kicks and silk dresses, no one does timeless elegance quite like the bubbly blonde.

Our home grown Olsen twin does oversized, draping and layering like no other in the Southern Hemisphere. Her preferred palette is muted, autumnal tones - like military green, charcoal and blues - yet she is always experimenting with new silhouettes. Her trench coat, wide legged pants and simple blouse trademark always looks so fashion forward yet everlasting.
A pledge to return to the Motherland. Kind of: #shinebythree.com ????
