Summer may be drawing to an end, but Wellingtonians are well known for making the most of every sunny day. FishHead took to the streets, seeking sun-lovers with hot summer style.
Name: Rachael Storey | Age: 31 | Occupation: Property investor | Favourite Wellington shops: Karen Walker and World |It was love at first sight when FishHead spotted Rachael’s metallic Shoe Connection loafers glistening in the midday sun. The shoes were paired perfectly with a simple T‑shirt from Superette and a pair of Lee jeans. Topped off with Karen Walker sunglasses and a hand-made necklace, Rachael’s outfit proved once and for all that sometimes, less actually is more.
Name: Tom Withnall | Age: 17 | Occupation: Student at Wellington College | Favourite Wellington shops: AS Colour and I Love Ugly |Tom was looking way too cool for school when FishHead spotted him sunning himself in Civic Square, wearing a lobster-printed Tommy Hilfiger T‑shirt, Calvin Klein shorts and Adidas sneakers. Tom’s outfit was topped off with a cap from Good As Gold, a backpack from an online store and a pair of awesome striped socks, courtesy of mum, of course.
Name: Kylie Soo | Age: 23 | Occupation: Accountant | Favourite Wellington shops: Marcs and Country Road | Kylie was enjoying a sunny lunchbreak on the waterfront when FishHead spied her stylish corporate outfit. Kylie reminisced about yearly overseas shopping trips as FishHead drooled over her beautiful shirt, chinos, belt and shoes, all from Japan and America. Kylie completed her look with a pair of foldable Ray-Ban sunglasses, the perfect space-saving accessory for any fashionable traveller.
Name: Paul O’Mahony | Age: 34 | Occupation: Actor and writer | Favourite Wellington shop: Hunters and Collectors |Having just arrived in New Zealand a few days earlier, this London local was soaking up the sun on Cuba Street when FishHead spotted his fun Barcelona patterned shirt and Brick Lane corduroy pants. A Paul Smith cardigan, Persol sunglasses and Converse sneakers completed the look, with a San Fran cap helping to keep this sun-starved Brit safe from the fierce Kiwi rays.
