Leave it to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia to bring on the skin: This past week, sun-glazed showgoers hit the street in pieces with plunging décolletage, midriff-revealing crop tops and bared shoulders. But not everything was about baring it all—we saw Aussie natives keep it pared back and covered up, as model Rachel Rutt did with her loose, striped button-down, and blogger Lauren Yates, who made a case for menswear. Here, see the best looks from this week Down Under.
