Street View: What People Are Wearing In Newtown, Sydney

Welcome to the ninth instalment of Street View, a fortnightly series where we document everyday people's style for outfit inspo purposes.

We've previously snapped shots in Sydney's Surry Hills and Glebe, so today we're heading to the inner-west hub of Newtown. Touted as a 'hipster' suburb that's known for its eclectic style and vintage shopping haunts, all it takes is a stroll up King Street to be bombarded with heaps of secondhand store options.

One new pop-up about to join the vintage ranks is the Heartbreak High Uniform Shop. To celebrate the release of the TV series that follows a group of Sydney teens, you'll be able to swing by and pick up a free piece of thrifted clothing (more details below).

The new Gen-Z Heartbreak High is dripping in Y2K fashion trends, with the cast rocking bright colours, baggy tees, cargo pants and halter tops. Sydney-based photographer Phoebe Wolfe took to the streets of Newtown to capture the looks of locals whose style would blend right in at the fictional Hartley High School.

On the shoot, we met Audrey, who wore an entirely thrifted outfit with knee-high boots; Yasmine, who showed us that low-rise track pants are the new low-rise jeans, and Melissa, who proved the baguette bag is definitely back — and that was just a handful of the local fashion.

From colourful pants to chunky platforms, scroll ahead to check out the street style on show in Sydney's Newtown. Enjoy!
