Necessities for a day off

Category:

January 26th, the first public holiday of the year is finally upon us, and with it comes a slew of expectations to having a great day off work! Luckily, we've compiled just the guide to ensure you make the most of the day – from what to wear and how to accessorise to the most Insta-worthy food and drink ideas!

 


Clothing

First stop, clothing shop! It’s officially the start of a new year and what better way to kick start the year than with some fresh new clothes to add to your wardrobe? Whether you prefer something sleek or rugged, casual or dressy, menswear is an open invitation – so always opt for what you feel comfortable in. Our number one tip is not to shy away from colour this month (it’s summer after all!). Grab some fun boardies from Cotton On and a classic tee from Connor to match – there you have it, the perfect fit for a summer day spent beachside or poolside (whoever said fashion is complicated, clearly hasn’t been to Stockland). 

 

How to accessorise 

Once you’ve got the outfit sorted it’s time to accessorise! It’s all about the detail, especially when it comes to male accessories – think belts, shoes, hats, watches, and sunglasses. But when we’re talking about what to wear this public holiday we suggest sticking with the trends. This year, aviator sunglasses and bucket hats are set to fill the shelves. 

 

Tip: head to OPSM and check out their array of must-have hats and sunglasses! 

 

Food and drink BBQ ideas

Now for the best part of the day – the food! If one thing is for sure, it’s that eating well on your day off is a must! When it hits noon it’s officially time to fire up the grill and cue the feast because a classic seafood BBQ is on the cards (and one that will impress the guests). Find out how to master the ultimate BBQ with this recipe!

 

Tip: if you’re on the hunt for something refreshing to quench your thirst then try your hand at this mocktail recipe.
