Default What 2 wear in Brisbane???

What is the typical dress for bumming about during the day?? I dont want to buy loadsa clothes in the UK incase i look like an odd ball!!!

Do people walk about with bikini tops and shorts or do they mostly cover up because of the sun, or do they really cover up with denims and things??

Just dont want to look daft

In winter I wear jeans and t-shirts and need a jumper for a nights cause it gets cold. Also need my socks and shoes for this time of year. Wear my furry coat occasionally when it dips down in the temps. Summer is shorts and tshirts mainly. You'll also see an awful lot of people in Birsbane wearing Pajamas out in the malls/local shops!!!!! Other than that can't think of anything else!

Cheers

Yesterday evening it was coats, wooly hats and scarves.

This morning is not much warmer.........it can get pretty chilly at this time of year.

In all the years I've lived here I've never seen one single adult out shopping in their jim jams - only kids when they've been ready for bed.

I think there's something strangely comforting in this cultural difference though

You don't see many murderes or muggars in their jim jams
