And what kind of gift has been ticking all those boxes since humans discovered how much they liked those shiny rocks? Jewellery. Gold, silver or diamond, a thoughtful and lasting piece of bling can capture all those feel-good vibes and preserve your love story for generations to come. You know that ring passed down from your Nanna? It was a gift and your family history in the making. Today, we’re exploring timeless jewellery pieces to celebrate your lasting affection for that special someone. Because it’s not just about giving a gift – it’s about transforming precious moments into a beautiful symbol that can be worn and treasured forever.

Tennis bracelets are a staple of sophistication. These dainty pieces take their name from the occasion when Chris Evert, a famous tennis player, called time on a match when she lost her diamond bracelet mid-game. It was eventually found (after a lengthy scavenger hunt) and has since become a symbol of understated elegance and durability.&nbsp;If love and enduring strength speak to you, the Swarovski Matrix Tennis Bracelet might be the perfect gift for your lover. With its round-cut white crystals and rhodium plating, it’s an affordable option that doesn’t compromise on style.&nbsp;If you’re looking for something a lil more luxe, a diamond tennis bracelet might be your vibe.&nbsp;

Lockets have been all about love and nostalgia since way back in the Victorian era. From tiny portraits to sentimental notes and locks of hair, a quality locket can carry big-time feels and precious memories close to your heart.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our pick of tiny forever capsules is the Gold Heart Lotus Locket Pendant from By Charlotte. This intricate heart-shaped pendant is adorned with a beautiful claw-set cubic zirconia ready to be the keeper of your love story.&nbsp;Box it up with some <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/valentines-day-lingerie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sexy lingerie</a> for the ultimate gift or Valentine’s Day pressie.&nbsp;

Hoop earrings have been slaying the fashion game across cultures for centuries. Queen and all-round style icon Cleopatra was known to rock a hoop while ruling Egypt – and now they’re a must-have in every It Girl’s wardrobe. They’ve evolved from simple circles to all kinds of designs and sizes, but one thing’s for sure: they’ve always been a symbol of boldness and style.&nbsp;The Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings from Bevilles blend contemporary style with traditional elegance. They’re versatile enough for a casual day or paired with a <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/sparkly-dress" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sparkly dress</a> for an elegant evening event. If your lover loves serious statement jewellery, opt for larger, diamond-studded hoops for a more dramatic look.

Signet rings, bearing family crests and engravings, have been worn by generations of families and groups as a statement piece for centuries. While the designs might have changed, the sentiment hasn’t.The 14k Solid Gold Lotus Diamond Signet Ring from By Charlotte offers a modern twist on this ancient tradition, perfect for someone who values both heritage and style. For a bit more bling, choose something with an intricate design or precious stones.&nbsp;

Diamond studs are the epitome of classic beauty in jewellery. Why? Because they’re versatile, elegant and suit any occasion.&nbsp;We love these 9ct Yellow Gold Diamond Stud Earrings from Shiels, which offer a shimmer of luxury without being overly extravagant. If you’re looking for an upgrade on these, choosing something with larger-carat diamonds could charm the pants off your lover.&nbsp;Does your partner love the water? Consider some <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/waterproof-jewellery-australia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">waterproof sparklers</a>, too.&nbsp;

The Loop – Dec '23: 2023: Sparkly dresses to celebrate in style.

Summer vibes are all about sun-kissed selfies, seaside hangs, and poolside parties dressed in a cute fit, but who says you can’t add a little shimmer, too?&nbsp; Thanks to the genius of waterproof jewellery, you can soak up the sun or enjoy a dip without scrambling to take off your bling. From statement earrings to boho anklets and ring stacks, here is our guide to the hottest tarnish-free summer jewellery around.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Why is waterproof jewellery a must-have this summer? The answer is pretty simple – it’s versatile.

For something cute and long-wearing, House of Slani’s <a href="https://prf.hn/l/kVq4E4v" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gold Heart Ring</a> is a winner.

If bracelets have your heart, treat yourself to a dainty but durable <a href="https://prf.hn/l/mVB4qqL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Moondust Bracelet</a> by Luna Rae.

Gold jewellery? Classic. Waterproof gold jewellery? A summer essential. If you love the timeless appeal of gold, you’re in for a treat.&nbsp;For Hailey Beiber-inspired style, gold hoops are a wardrobe staple. We’re all about Rubi’s Waterproof Large Hoops - a statement set that’ll dress up your <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/swimwear-brands-australia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">swimwear</a> and get the girls talking over cocktails. If you’re after something more simple, Shiel’s Sleeper Earrings are classic but classy and work well paired with some dangles for double-pierced lobes.&nbsp;But it’s not all about the earrings. From playful anklets to indie rings and elegant necklaces adorned with earthy pendants, you’re flush with options when it comes to waterproof gold jewellery that will stand up to summer fun, festivals, camping and everything in between.&nbsp;

Prefer silver over gold? We’ve got you covered with waterproof stainless steel jewellery.

It’s that time of year again: the festive frenzy is kicking into high gear, and the race to tick off your Christmas shopping list has begun. But let’s face it – among the twinkling lights and holiday cheer, panic buying can be the party crasher of the holiday season.&nbsp; We’ve all been there, rushing through crowded stores in a desperate search for last-minute gifts while muttering to ourselves that next year will be different. The trolley ends up full, but your nervous system is shot from the stress of it all.&nbsp; We can do better this year. Shop online (away from the chaos) or in-store with Afterpay, starting with this handy guide to the best beauty gifts under $150.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sure, the festive season is all about celebrating with family, but what about those mates who turn into family? You could gather your squad for a bottomless brunch or a weekend away or give them a simple gift that says, “I get you, babe”.&nbsp;The friend who’s all about her look will appreciate some<a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/beauty-tools" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> new beauty tools </a>or a holiday hair transformation thanks to Olaplex’s <a href="https://adorebeauty.prf.hn/l/MbWQb1b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Strong Days Ahead Hair Kit. </a>If she’s the one with the lips, she’ll love a lip repair hamper that includes a sexy gloss and some sun protection to boot.&nbsp;If your gal deserves a glow-up (who doesn’t?), you can’t go past the<a href="https://tidd.ly/47IvLUD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Super Glow </a>pack from The Beauty Chef.

The lads are donating 100% of profits to those in need and calling for submissions from people and charities doing it tough for a chance to win a share of sales proceeds.

Our country produces some of the best beauty products around, so it makes sense to shop locally and support homegrown brands this Chrissie.&nbsp;When it comes to natural ingredients, Aussie brands like Sand &amp; Sky continue to serve up the goods.

The Loop – Nov '23: Summer outfit inspo for the holiday season.

When you need to pull together an outfit that’s comfortable but snatched, you can’t walk past a good pair of sneakers. From cult classics to the kind your old man used to wear, sneakers are the supportive and practical MVP of wardrobe staples for good reason. They’re the dependable all-rounders in our shoe lineup, ready to dress up or dial down whatever the mood (and weather) brings. So if your go-to treads are giving off a ‘survived a festival’ vibe or you’ve worn them down to the sole, this guide is for you. Let’s take a look at what’s hot and what’s trending for sneakers in 2023.&nbsp;

It’s no secret that Dad sneakers are having a moment. From A-list celebs to the hipster next door, everyone is stepping out in style and rocking ‘em like it’s 1992.&nbsp;The Dad sneaker brief is pretty easy to hit: blend comfort with cool. That’s probably why New Balance sneakers continue to top the latest must-have lists. They’re sleek (enough), oh-so-comfy and proof that style doesn’t have to hurt your soles. We love these <a href="https://newbalance-au.sjv.io/q4oo7Y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New Balance, Made in USA 990v4</a> beauties. Pair them with<a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/jorts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> jorts</a> for an on-brand look.&nbsp;And let’s not forget <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=50633&amp;murl=https://www.hypedc.com/au/products/salomon-xt-6-adv-black-black-phantom-410866" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Salomon</a> sneakers, catapulted into the limelight by Rihanna, who wore low tops from their MM6 Maison Margiela’s collab during her iconic Super Bowl performance. These chunky-soled kicks offer lush cushioning with grippy rubber soles and a block heel to take you from the dance floor to a hiking track without a blister in sight.&nbsp;

When it comes to sneaker mainstays, classics like the <a href="https://adidas-australia.pxf.io/g155jA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adidas Originals SAMBA OG SHOES</a> have held their ground. The OG of cool kicks, the Samba was originally made for soccer players but quickly morphed into a street fashion staple. These low-profile but highkey-cool sneakers feature an original gum sole (hello, traction), soft leather upper and all the things you’d expect from a unisex top seller.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next up, there’s chucks. No trending sneaker list would be complete without the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=42416&amp;murl=https://www.converse.com.au/womens-converse-chuck-taylor-all-star-canvas-lift-high-top-black-560845-black" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All Star</a> shoes we know and love, thanks to a basketballer with sore feet named Chuck Taylor. From heritage-design kicks to platform high tops, you can’t go wrong with these legendary sneakers for women (and everyone else, TBH).&nbsp;And ladies, if retro vibes with neutral tones excite you, snag yourself a pair of <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=46631&amp;murl=https://www.culturekings.com.au/products/nike-women-s-cortez-cacao-wow-sail-cacao-wow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nike Women’s Cortez “Brown Cacao</a>”.

If dopamine dressing has taught us anything, it’s that we love to be loud. And boy, do these sneakers shout. These are the kicks that don’t just complement an outfit – they become the main event.&nbsp;The <a href="https://prf.hn/l/XZj3BQy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adidas Samba Vegan</a> brings a fierce look with planet-friendly creds, making it a&nbsp; crowd-favourite sneaker for men. Not loud enough for you? <a href="https://prf.hn/l/q3Bvxzq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chloé’s multi-panel lace-up </a>sneakers serve up major luxe feels with a streetwear edge, giving your sneaker game a whole new level of flex.&nbsp;If you like your style with a side of cloud-like comfort, HOKA is where it’s at.

Matilda Djerf, who? The visionary behind Derf Avenue is Nordic fashion royalty, reigning over our TikTok and Insta feeds with chic and effortless Scandi-girl style.&nbsp; Thanks to her influence, shirts are a staple, blazers are forever, and vintage denim is gold. Better still, all-season layering is the whole philosophy. Here’s our guide to nailing the quiet luxury and clean-girl aesthetic that’s at the heart of every Scandi-cool wardrobe – ready to add to cart with Afterpay.&nbsp;

Scandi-girl style is all about blending comfort with class, colour with calm and luxury with lowkey maintenance. This isn’t just fashion – it’s a mindset embodied by Matilda and her social squad of anyone who vibes minimalist.&nbsp;To get your wardrobe in order, you’ll need a few basic pieces like the <a href="https://prf.hn/l/2MjWJyV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sleeper Atlanta Linen Mini Dress</a> and the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=43347&amp;murl=https://www.princesspolly.com.au/products/lester-knit-cardigan-cream" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LESTER KNIT CARDIGAN CREAM</a>. Too beige for you? Vibrant pops of colour are totally welcome, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;The point is, it’s an aesthetic that balances comfort and simplicity with a touch of sophistication, however that looks for you.

Central to Scandi-girl style is (of course) Matilda’s Djerf Avenue and the brand GANNI – a beacon of <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/quiet-luxury-brands" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">quiet luxury</a>. Worn by Bella Hadid and a swag of other celebs, this Danish label has redefined modern femininity and traditional style with bold prints and playful silhouettes.&nbsp;A GANNI leopard-print blouse or an <a href="https://prf.hn/l/gxq2yN1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Intarsia-Knit Logo Vest</a> can elevate your outfit with that signature Scandi twist: effortless, stylish and unapologetically individual. If prints aren’t your thing, layer a pair of <a href="https://prf.hn/l/lQBeAme" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AERE Drawstring Waist Relaxed Linen Pants</a> or cargos with a relaxed tee to create an ultra-comfy Scandi-style outfit.&nbsp;Honourable mention to Core by COS, another Nordic fashion brand living their ‘buy better, keep forever’ ethos through iconic pieces and elevated essentials made to last. Shout out to our <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/ethical-fashion-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sustainable fashion</a> girlies.

Scandi-chic isn’t just about the threads – it’s about the full look, right down to your feet and finishing touches. In good news, dad sneakers and <a href="https://www.newbalance.com.au/pd/530/MR530-43748.html?dwvar_MR530-43748_style=MR530LG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">practical trainers </a>are having a major moment, so you can choose comfort without compromising on street cred. Pair them with a floaty dress or tailored pants because anything goes.&nbsp;And let’s not overlook loafers. In true Scandi spirit, loafers are timeless, classy and practical for all seasons. Loafer styles vary from understated to statement pieces, but chunkier options like these <a href="https://www.charleskeith.com/au/shoes/CK1-70900494_BLKBOX.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Charles + Keith Covered Ridge-Sole Loafers</a> are where it’s at. Pair them with trousers, <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/jorts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">denim jorts</a> or a pencil skirt for total boss vibes.&nbsp;Finish off your Derf-inspired outfit with a pop of colour in the form of a lightweight bum bag or vibrant tote – a high-five to fun but practical farshun, whatever the occasion.

The Loop – Nov '23: The ultimate Scandi-girl style guide

Imagine this: you, summer and a streak-free faux glow.&nbsp; Self-tanning products have come a long way in recent years. Nowadays, it’s simple to achieve a consistent, even tan – and one that doesn’t sun damage your skin (talk about a win-win).&nbsp; With the right products and a pinch of know-how, achieving a flawless, sunless tan is easier than you think, making those notoriously streaky orange disasters a thing of the past. From the best fake tans in Australia to the top tips of the trade, we’ve got the low-down on how to fake tan like an absolute pro.

Why are we such fake tan fangirls? It’s simple. Sun-free, customisable and convenient, self-tanning is the safer way to get a gorgeous glow. Tanning is a sign that your skin’s taken a beating from UV radiation. And while some skin tones have more natural protection against UV, it’s a myth that it’s safe to tan if you don’t get burned.&nbsp;So how can you achieve that bronzed goddess aesthetic without damaging your skin? With fake tan, of course!&nbsp;When the reviews say ‘best tan ever’, you know it’s one of the best fake tans around. In addition to delivering a flawless tan every time, <a href="https://adorebeauty.prf.hn/l/dexvb3g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coco &amp; Eve’s Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam</a> is infused with their Cellushape tech, which hydrates and firms the skin, as well as providing anti-ageing and anti-cellulite benefits. Sounds a whole lot better than sun damage, right?&nbsp;Tanning doesn’t have to be a laborious process, either. Speedy express tans like <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=43806&amp;murl=https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/90299/bondi-sands-aero-1-hour-express-tan-225ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bondi Sands Aero 1 Hour Express Tan</a> do the job in just (you guessed it) an hour. Just spray, sit for 60 and enjoy a sun-kissed glow.&nbsp;Just remember that self-tan doesn’t protect you from the sun (meaning you can still burn with fake tan on), so be sure to apply SPF no matter your plans.&nbsp;

No one likes a streaky tan. To ensure a flawless glow, you need to know how to apply fake tan properly. Unfortunately, you can’t just rub it into your skin and hope for the best – there’s a touch of finesse and prep that goes into it.&nbsp;Here are our top tips for how to fake tan like a pro:Exfoliate.Exfoliating is one of the most important steps when self-tanning, so make sure you exfoliate 24 hours before to remove any dead skin cells. An exfoliating mitt like the <a href="https://www.lookfantastic.com.au/coco-eve-applicator-mitt/13309820.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bondi Sands Dual Action Exfoliating Mitt</a> will do the trick nicely.&nbsp;Moisturise.Fake tan loves to cling to dry skin, so moisturising in the lead-up to and just before you apply fake tan ensures a smooth, streak-free tan. Be sure to let your moisturiser dry for 2 to 3 hours before applying your tan.Use the right tools.You don’t want orange hands, so using an applicator tool is a must. Not only does it keep you clean, but it also ensures a stunningly even application. We love the luscious velvet <a href="https://www.lookfantastic.com.au/coco-eve-applicator-mitt/13309820.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coco &amp; Eve Applicator Mitt</a> (so smooth, so luxe).&nbsp;Let your tan dry.The last thing you want is fake tan on your clothes or sheets, so it’s important to give your tan the time it needs to dry. Alternatively, if you’re in a hurry, a drying powder like <a href="https://www.ozhairandbeauty.com/products/modelco-self-tan-drying-powder-50g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ModelCo Self-Tan Drying Powder</a> has your back, instantly mattifying and setting your tan (without drying out your skin, DW).Keep it maintained!You’ve done all this work, so you need that tan to last! The secret to maintaining your tan is moisturiser and a gradual tan. A gradual tanning product like <a href="https://www.ozhairandbeauty.com/products/minetan-eod-tan-milk-354ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Minetan EOD Tan Milk</a> will keep your skin soft and hydrated – and help your tan stay bronzer for longer.&nbsp;

Face tanning drops are having their moment in the sun. Featured in more GRWM vids than we can count, these bronzed drops give you a tanned face base that ensures a cohesive full-body glow. And the best part? Most (like <a href="https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/122129/bali-body-face-tan-serum-30ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bali Body’s Face Tan Serum</a>) are mixed in with skincare ingredients that hydrate and <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/skincare-routine-for-night-time" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">care for your skin</a>.&nbsp;Pale face + tan body = not it. Designed to mix in with your face creams, <a href="https://adorebeauty.prf.hn/l/1eX98AB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coco &amp; Eve’s Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Face Drops</a> provide a buildable, even and glowy facial tan that never misses.&nbsp;Another shout-out for our girlie gradual tan! Gradual tans top the game in tan maintenance and natural-looking tans. <a href="https://tidd.ly/49yBNZF" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ESPA’s Pro-Glow Gradual Tan Body Cream</a> is one of our favourites with its lightweight formula that glides over the skin for a streak-free, sticky-free, buildable sun-kissed glow.

Sun-kissed with no sunburn, self-tanning is a great and safer way to get a summer glow this season. From express tans to slow and steady gradual ones, Afterpay has you covered so you can safely slay your summer tan. &nbsp;Bonus tanning tip: if you don’t want to self-tan and need a little help, Afterpay is available at a heap of <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/stores/search?search_version=3&amp;q=spray%20tanning" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">spray tanning salons</a> around the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go forth and glow.Afterpay BNPL late fees, eligibility criteria, retailer terms and T&amp;Cs apply.

Who’s amped for festival season? Offering the chance to get away with mates, soak up some rays and vibe to amazing tunes, music festivals are basically the GOAT summer activity.&nbsp; The question is, what will you wear? In lieu of a dress code or theme, deciding what to wear to a festival can be surprisingly tricky. You’ll need to be able to dance and relax comfortably throughout the whole event, so practicality and quality materials are important. You’ll also want temperature-appropriate clothes that keep you cool while protecting you from the sun.&nbsp; Not to mention, your fits can help you get into the festival spirit and express what makes you *you*. So they should reflect the music genre and your personal style in one go. (Here’s your chance to go OTT if you want to!)&nbsp; There’s a few boxes to tick, but don’t fret! In this article, we’re dropping some on-trend outfit ideas for five different flavours of festivals – from rock to EDM to blues.&nbsp;

Rock festivals have long been the place to express your rebellious side. If the crowds at top events like Adelaide’s <a href="https://ticketmaster-au.tm7566.net/R5YQa7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Harvest Rock</a> are anything to go by, your get-up should be cool and edgy but not as wild as what you’d wear to a techno rave. Leather jackets, ripped jeans and band tees are classic choices, as are darker colours (can’t go wrong with black) and metallics.&nbsp;As an easy one-piece solution, the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=42567&amp;murl=https://www.generalpants.com/au/insight/womens/clothing/nikki-denim-maxi-boiler-suit-mid-90%27s-blue/1000100766-BLUE-GP.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Insight Nikki Maxi Boilersuit</a> will have you looking as good as you feel. It hugs the figure in an oh-so-flattering way without restricting movement. The dark-blue denim is at once classic and contemporary, and the pockets give you somewhere to stash stuff. We could go on.&nbsp;Need some guidance on footwear? For literal decades, festival goers have ranked Dr. Martens as THE best festival shoes, period. With an elevated sole, yellow welt stitching and a scripted heel-loop, the <a href="https://t.cfjump.com/77430/t/61242?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.drmartens.com.au%2f1460-bex-smooth-platform-25345001-blk.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1460 BEX SMOOTH PLATFORM</a> brings all the attitude and the durability you could want.&nbsp;

Live dance music is the ultimate opportunity to move your bod and get lost in the tunes. If you’re stumped for what to wear, a trendy boho-leaning fit will have you looking the part. (Tix for <a href="https://www.wildlandsfestival.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wildlands</a> have just dropped, by the way. And yep, you can Afterpay them!)&nbsp;A strong contender for the best festival shoes around, the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=50496&amp;murl=https://www.tonybianco.com/au/products/biker-cognac-calf-boots" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tony Bianco Biker Cognac Calf Boots</a> are a fitting choice. Crafted with leather and a chunky rubber sole, these boots are made for dancing.&nbsp;For a top that’s flirty, floaty and breathable while still providing sun protection, we highly recommend the <a href="https://prf.hn/l/q59jygB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lioness Barely There Tie Top</a>. You’ll also want to pack a light layer for cooler evenings – the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=42567&amp;murl=https://www.generalpants.com/au/rollas/all/clothing/shirts/bowler-knit-short-sleeve-shirt-moss-green/1000102407-GREEN-GP.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ROLLAS Bowler Knit Shirt Sleeve Shirt</a> in stylish Moss Green is a perfect option.&nbsp;

EDM ensembles are loads of fun to put together. They should be as vibrant and high energy as the music you’ll be vibing to. Being extra is pretty much expected!&nbsp;For a badass look everyone will be raving about, try pairing the cute <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=43347&amp;murl=https://www.princesspolly.com.au/products/eden-lace-up-corset-green-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EDEN LACE UP CORSET GREEN</a> with a pair of black <a href="https://prf.hn/l/XvbxxBQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carhartt Elmwood Shorts</a>. Corset tops are set to be a summer fave, so you’ll be bang on trend at <a href="https://www.strawberry-fields.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Strawberry Fields</a> (or your EDM festival of choice!)When it comes to <a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/adventure/festival-camping-checklist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">festival camping</a> wearables, a compact cross-body bag is a must. The <a href="https://www.crumpler.com/au/products/goose-large/?v=40525942947919" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Crumpler Goose (Large)</a> has plenty of internal pockets for keeping things handy and a rich blue hue we’re obsessed with. Yay for hands-free partying.&nbsp;

Got your Laneway tix? No? <a href="https://ticketekau.pxf.io/LXOQWV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swing by Ticketek</a> and snap ‘em up now with Afterpay.
