It Wasn’t Love at First Sight — But It Grew on Me Fast
The first time I slipped into the Essentials Hoodie, I didn’t think it was anything special. It was clean, sure. Soft enough. But nothing screamed out. Wore it on a cool morning in Perth to grab a long black, and that was that.
Then something funny happened — I wore it again the next day. And the day after that. A week later, I realised I hadn’t touched my usual jumpers since. The way the sleeves sat just right, the room in the chest without being baggy, the perfect not-too-heavy weight? Quietly, this hoodie had become my default.
The Essentials Tracksuit and Hoodie Fit the Aussie Lifestyle
Australia’s lifestyle is active, but it’s chill. Our wardrobes reflect that. We don’t want to look like we’re trying too hard, but we also want to look like we’ve got it together. The Essentials Hoodie and Essentials Tracksuit are basically built for that balance.
They’re just structured enough to pass for “done-up” in casual settings, but soft and roomy enough to feel relaxed. Whether I’m headed to Newtown for brunch, catching a movie in Melbourne Central, or walking the dog down by the Brisbane River, I feel like I’ve made the right choice.
These pieces blend in, but never disappear. And that’s kind of the magic.
Tried and Tested in Multiple Aussie Cities
This isn’t just theory — I’ve worn this combo across the country:
- In Sydney, the hoodie’s perfect for cool evening walks from Coogee to Bondi.
- In Melbourne, it layers coats during those unpredictable spring days.
- In Adelaide, it’s breathable enough to wear inside and out without overheating.
- In Hobart, it’s part of my go-to layering for early café runs.
- In Cairns, the hoodie lives in my backpack, ready for any strong AC or cooler night.
- In Byron Bay, the full Essentials Tracksuit looked just right after an early surf and coffee at Top Shop.
It adapts. That’s the best way I can describe it. And you know what? Not a single time did it feel out of place.

The Tracksuit Came Next — And Changed My Travel Game
After about a month, I caved and picked up the Essentials Tracksuit bottoms. Had a trip planned from Adelaide to Hobart, and I wanted something easy for the flight. Didn’t expect to be impressed. But as I moved through airport queues, slumped in waiting lounges, and fought stiff plane seats, I noticed something.
No tugging at the waistband. No itchy fabric. And no weird sweat patches like I’d get with cheap trackies. Just smooth, soft comfort that somehow looked clean — even after 4 hours in the air.
By the time I landed and hit Salamanca Market, I wasn’t just wearing the set. I was fully sold.
Quality That Actually Lasts (Rare These Days)
You can feel quality when it’s real. After months of wear, the Essentials Hoodie still holds its shape — no sagging sleeves, no loose stitching. The Essentials Tracksuit hasn’t faded, stretched, or lost its fit. I’ve washed both more times than I can count, and they still feel like they did in week one — maybe softer, even.
It’s one thing to look good out of the box. But when a hoodie still fits like a glove after months of real wear — beach sand, sweat, road trips, takeaway spills — that’s worth writing home about.
A Look That Speaks Without Screaming
You won’t find giant logos or neon colours here. And that’s kind of the point.
The Essentials Tracksuit and Essentials Hoodie let your own style shine through. Pair the hoodie with jeans, or even chinos — looks intentional. Throw on the tracksuit with runners and a tucked-in tee? Effortlessly cool. Add a cap, and you’re ready for whatever the day throws your way.
No stress. No flash. Just good fit, soft fabric, and enough confidence to step out without overthinking it.
Is It Worth the Price?
Look, it’s not the cheapest hoodie or tracksuit you’ll find in the Aussie market. But here’s what you’re actually paying for:
- Consistency
- Comfort across all seasons
- Style that isn’t trend-chasing
- Pieces that genuinely last longer than most high street brands
I’ve spent more on flimsier gear that didn’t survive two washes. These? They’ve become the most worn items in my wardrobe — and that includes designer stuff I hardly touch anymore.
Final Thoughts — Sometimes “Essential” Isn’t Just a Word
Brands love to call their pieces “essential.” But this time, it’s not marketing fluff. The Essentials Hoodie and Essentials Tracksuit earn the name.
They go where I go: from a campsite in Victoria’s Otways, to an early gym session in Parramatta, to a late pub dinner in Brisbane. Always reliable. Always just right.
In a world that feels loud and overdone, it’s nice to have something simple that actually lives up to what it promises.
