Australian shoppers are truly blessed with an abundance of brilliant homegrown fashion labels. Yet, one local brand consistently earns rave reviews for its effortlessly chic and wearable designs: Elka Collective. Known for its luxurious separates, figure-flattering shapes, and elevated essentials, the brand has now unveiled the highly anticipated final chapter of its summer collection.
The Standout Piece: The Ultimate Christmas Dress
Headlining the new drop is a dress being hailed as the ideal choice for Christmas Day celebrations. The Drew Maxi Dress, priced at $269, comes in two sophisticated colourways: a deep, rich chocolate and a serene soft-blue. Its design masterfully combines elegance with comfort, featuring a flowing skirt and a stretch-knit bodice. This blend ensures a polished look that is also breathable, forgiving, and perfectly suited for a long day of festive feasting.
Five Editor-Approved Picks from the Drop
While the entire collection is tempting, here are five standout pieces that deserve a spot in your summer wardrobe.
Beau Short in Ecru ($149): Summer demands comfortable shorts, and this pair delivers. Made from a soft cotton blend with an elasticated waist, they are as perfect for throwing over swimmers as they are for dressing up with a simple tank and bold jewellery.
Harlow Blazer in Natural ($399): A versatile blazer is a wardrobe workhorse, even in warmer months. This neutral, oversized style with an adjustable waist tie transitions seamlessly from the office to weekend outings—just change your accessories.
Romeo Mini Dress in Black ($269): The little black dress earns its summer 'must-have' status through sheer versatility. Elka's version, crafted from stretch knit with a flattering wrap front, is ideal for long lunches or even work meetings. Style it with sandals and a tote.
Noel Top in Chocolate ($199): The search for the perfect relaxed-yet-polished top ends here. This textured cotton blend top in a gorgeous chocolate hue is the ideal partner for tailored trousers or your favourite denim shorts.
Drew Maxi Dress ($269): As the collection's hero piece, this dress boasts a universally flattering silhouette. Dress it down with thongs for a casual lunch, or elevate it with low heels and a clutch for evening festivities.
Elevating Everyday Australian Style
This final summer release from Elka Collective reinforces the brand's position as a leader in accessible luxury for Australian women. By focusing on high-quality fabrics, thoughtful design, and versatile pieces that move from day to night, the label captures the essence of modern, effortless style.
