The Meredith look
Meredith fashion is fun first. Costumes, vintage op-shop finds, flannelette for the cold nights and the famous Meredith Gift (look it up) set the tone. Victorian weather in December can swing from scorching days to cold nights, so pack for both.
Meredith outfit ideas
1. Op-shop hero
Loud vintage shirt, shorts, boots and a chunky white square like DENZO White.
2. Indie classic
Band tee, denim, a flannel tied round the waist and a slim 90s frame like AERO.
3. Dance-floor Sunday
Sequins, a bucket hat and the silver Y2K wrap of SYNTH.
Sunglasses for the Sup
The amphitheatre is a natural bowl with plenty of sky, so days are bright. UV400 lenses protect your eyes through long afternoon sets, and a characterful frame fits the Meredith spirit.
