Julie Cham­ber­lain | Age? 42 | From? Christ­ch­urch | What? Admin­is­trat­or | Your Style? Things that suit me that are com­fort­able | She’s a mod, she’s a mod, she’s a mod, yeah, yeah! Chamberlain’s 1960s-inspired look of green over­coat and plaid naut­ic­al dress is paired with ever-essen­tial black leath­er boots. Her green trench coat was ideal for the unusu­ally crisp weath­er, and her neut­ral-col­oured bag, black boots and tights off­set the busier pat­tern of her per­fectly tailored dress.

Lisa Wadsworth | Age? 37 | From? Auck­land | What? Fash­ion design­er | Your Style? Whatever strikes me at the time | Wadsworth was an obvi­ous choice and eas­ily explained: she is a fash­ion design­er. She wears a dressy cas­u­al look, with staple black skinny jeans from Coun­try Road, cir­cu­lar tin­ted Glas­sons glasses, a furry grey vest and high-top sneak­ers. The fur vest adds tex­ture to her all-black ensemble; over­all, this look is sleek but fun.

Dylan Was­son | Age? 20 | From? Mt Cook | What? Stu­dent | Your style? Whatever is clean | Wasson’s bold, col­our­ful, clash­ing prints echo 1990s fash­ion and evoke The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Wear­ing a Lazy Oaf shirt with ham­burger-print sleeves sourced from his work­place, Good as Gold, and leo­pard-print Stussy shorts, Was­son com­pletes the look with white high-top Chuck Taylors, Ray-Ban sunglasses and an epic beard.

Mal­colm Hop­word | Age? 68 |From? Palmer­ston North |What? PR con­sult­ant | Your Style? Inspired by a time when a man could wear a shirt and tie and know how to be fash­ion­able | The impec­cably dap­per Hop­word, who was on his way to work when we spot­ted him, sports a smart grey suit jack­et, white shirt and boldly striped tie. His dress trousers are matched with black leath­er shoes and a leath­er bag. Hop­word describes his attire per­fectly in just three words: “form­al, con­ser­vat­ive, metrosexual”.
