Australian Wool: Autumn Style

Wednesday, April 16th, 2025

See Saw Clothing Australia showcases the perfect blend of comfort and style in their autumn wool collection. The standout piece in the image is our beautiful green and white checkered brushed wool coat, featuring a relaxed silhouette that epitomizes casual elegance.

The styling demonstrates the versatility of Australian wool for transitional weather. The green checkered outerwear is expertly paired with a cream turtleneck sweater featuring a subtle textured pattern, creating a layered look that’s both practical and fashionable. The outfit is completed with wide leg denim jeans, balancing the cozy upper layers with a casual foundation.

Australian wool has long been celebrated for its exceptional quality and natural temperature-regulating properties, making it ideal for autumn’s fluctuating conditions. See Saw cleverly utilises these properties in pieces that feel contemporary while maintaining the timeless appeal of natural fibers.

The colour palette embraces autumn’s natural tones with the vibrant green checks offering a fresh take on seasonal dressing. This approach to color reflects the Australian fashion sensibility of incorporating nature-inspired hues while maintaining a bright outlook.

See Saw’s attention to craftsmanship is evident in the clean lines and quality construction visible in the garments, highlighting the premium nature of Australian wool while keeping the silhouettes approachable and wearable for everyday life.

Embracing Autumn

Friday, March 7th, 2025

As the leaves begin to change and temperatures gradually cool, autumn invites us to rediscover the versatility of woollen sweaters and jackets. The transition to cooler days doesn’t mean sacrificing style for comfort—in fact, autumn layering opens up endless possibilities for creating sophisticated, functional looks.

Layering Essentials for Autumn 2025

The foundation of any great autumn outfit starts with thoughtful layering. Begin with a crisp white shirt—a timeless piece that pairs effortlessly with wool knitwear. This classic combination bridges the gap between formal and casual, offering versatility for various occasions throughout the season. For 2025, slightly oversized white shirts with subtle structural details like stand collars or gentle pleating create modern contrast against fitted knitwear.

Shapes That Define the Season

This autumn, we’re seeing a beautiful evolution of silhouettes. Boxy cropped cardigans create contemporary proportions when paired with higher-waisted bottoms. Meanwhile, longer-line wool jackets with clean, minimal detailing offer elegant structure while providing warmth without bulk—perfect for Australia’s varied autumn climate. Look for subtle cocoon shapes that bring relaxed sophistication to traditional wool pieces.

Colours of the Moment

While neutrals remain essential, 2025’s autumn palette introduces thoughtful colour evolution. Soft blush tones bring unexpected warmth to cool-weather wardrobes, while muted sage and eucalyptus greens connect beautifully with Australia’s natural landscape. For those seeking subtle statements, consider pieces in burnished gold or terracotta that capture autumn’s essence while remaining thoroughly modern.

Australian Wool for Australian Life

There’s something particularly special about wearing locally-sourced merino wool that’s designed specifically for the Australian lifestyle. Our unique climate calls for adaptable pieces that perform across varied conditions—from crisp mornings on the coast to cool evenings in urban settings. Premium Australian merino offers natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking properties, and remarkable softness that synthetic alternatives simply cannot match.

Creating Modern Classics

The beauty of investing in quality wool pieces lies in their ability to transcend seasons and trends. For 2025, we’re seeing a deliberate return to thoughtful consumption—choosing fewer, better items that offer versatility and longevity. A well-crafted merino cardigan or jacket becomes not just a seasonal purchase but a wardrobe foundation that evolves with your style year after year.

By embracing the natural beauty of wool and the art of layering this autumn, you’re not just following fashion—you’re participating in a tradition of quality, comfort and timeless style that’s perfectly suited to the Australian way of life.

Why we love linen…

Wednesday, September 4th, 2024

You probably already know that linen is an excellent fabric choice for Summer, but did you know why? Here are just a few of the many great things about this material.

  1. It’s made from flax

Flax is a plant-textile fibre. Linen fabric is made from the cellulose fibres that grow inside of the stalks of the flax plant. See Saw source European quality Flax which is grown in France.

  1. It’s 100% natural

From the first seeds sown to the production of the garments themselves, flax is totally natural. It needs no irrigation – only rainwater – to grow, with little fertilizer and no pesticides, making it an environmentally sustainable fabric choice.

  1. It’s temperature regulating

Linen is a Summer friendly fabric which allows the skin to breathe. Therefore, linen clothes and sheets feel both cool to wear and to the touch on a hot day or balmy night. In cold weather, surprisingly, linen also retains warmth. The fabric is hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial, too so it’s great for those with sensitive skin or for young children.

  1. It’s easy to care for

You may think linen is a high-maintenance fabric, but that’s not the case. Linen is an incredibly easy fabric to care for. It keeps its colour and, the more you wash it, the softer it becomes, making the fabric easier to iron. Linen should ideally be ironed while still slightly damp for the best results.

  1. It’s enduring

Linen is the strongest of the vegetable fibres and two to three times more durable than cotton. The high wax content of flax gives linen its characteristic lustre and it can withstand plenty of machine washing, which comes in handy on holiday when you might want to wear favourites on repeat.

We at See Saw love working with linen and these reasons are just part of why it is such an important fabric in our summer collection.
