I'm not talking about anything spectacular, just a plain old white t shirt with a diddy quicksilver logo that you can hardly see.
Not value for money if you ask me.

I just noticed that the Australian Fashion Week is on in Sydney this week - http://www.afw.com.au/ and thought it appropriate for you, as it is called the "Mercedes Australian Fashion Week "

Jellinek bought a fleet of 36 and named them Mercedes (in Spanish this means grace) after his young daughter.

I can't speak for the rest of Australia's dress style / sense but up here it's very much a case of 'wear what you want' and no one gives a toss.
You'll see men dressed in everything from in King Gee's and blundies to smart cotton shirts and shorts and leather sandles to 'surfer wear' to black tie for functions... Theres also those men who like to wear their denim jeans ironed with a 'line' down the middle front of each leg, grey plastic slip on shoes (with the obligatory white towelling socks) and scruffy singlet with a weeks breakfast, lunch and dinner down the front.
Women wear the 'surfer' look too, or shorts and a tee or get dressed up in cocktail gear or everyday dresses / skirts / 'nice' tops etc...(They don't tend to go for the 'lined jeans/plaggy shoes/white socks' look though!
You have to dress for the temperature and the social setting, I suppose.
I'm not bothered what my friends wear, so long as they are nice people and personally I find designer labels a huge turn off.
