So, here’s the funny thing about fashion in Australia: it sneaks up on you. One day you’re wearing whatever you had in the drawer, next day every second person you see — and every celeb in your feed — is walking around in the same fit. Right now? It’s the Essentials Hoodie. Honestly, I swear it’s everywhere. Doesn’t matter if you’re scrolling Instagram, flicking through a gossip mag, or just sitting at an airport gate half-asleep — you’ll see it. And, yeah, the Essentials Tracksuit isn’t far behind either.
Why the Hoodies Became a Bit of a Star
The thing about the Essentials Hoodie is that it’s not flashy. It’s not covered in loud logos or some weird neon design that’ll look old in six months. It’s simple. And in Australia, that’s exactly what we like. Low effort, clean, easy to throw on. Celebs know this, too.
Take any Aussie celeb on the go — you’ll catch them in one. A singer ducking into a studio in Melbourne, hoodie up, sunnies on. Or a footy player walking through Sydney Airport with headphones, hoodie tucked into joggers. Even influencers on the Gold Coast — they practically live in theirs, pairing it with bike shorts or wide-leg pants.
It just works, no matter who you are. And I reckon that’s why it’s trending harder than most things right now.
What Celebs Love About It
- It’s comfy as anything. Celebs don’t want to deal with stiff outfits when they’re flying from Perth to Sydney or doing press.
- It hides you a bit. Hood up, sunnies on, and you can blend in — well, as much as a celeb can.
- It looks good with literally everything. Jeans, cargos, shorts, sneakers. Easy.
Not trying to stand out, just fitting in without effort—that’s as Aussie as it gets.
Spotting the Hoodie in the Wild
If you’ve been paying attention this year, you’ve probably noticed the pattern. AFL stars in Melbourne rocking the Essentials Hoodie under a coat before a game. Musicians in Sydney are throwing them on after a gig. Even actors filming up in Queensland have been papped in them on their downtime.
The funny part is that it doesn’t matter if they’re super polished or more laid-back — the hoodie sort of flattens it all out. It makes celebs feel more… normal. Like you could bump into them at a café and not feel like they’re untouchable.
And Then There’s the Essentials Tracksuit
Okay, so the Essentials Tracksuit deserves its moment too. While the hoodie is everywhere, the tracksuit is more of a look. You see celebs rolling up in full matching sets when they want to be noticed, but still act casual.
Airports are the number one spot. If you’ve ever sat around waiting for a delayed flight, you’ll see at least one celeb glide past in a beige or black Essentials Tracksuit with spotless white sneakers. It’s like the unofficial “travelling celeb” outfit. Paparazzi love it too because the match looks really well.
Why It’s Blowing Up Too
- Matching = instant style points without effort.
- Perfect for Melbourne winters or chilly Sydney mornings.
- It’s become cool to look coordinated, but not like you spent hours deciding.
And honestly, Aussies love anything that feels easy. So if celebs are pushing the Essentials Tracksuit, you can bet regular people are jumping on board too.
Australia’s Spin on Essentials
Here’s where it gets fun. The way Australian celebs (and honestly, the rest of us) style these fits is a little different from overseas.
- Sydney: Celebs pair the Essentials Hoodie with shorts and fresh trainers. It’s a beach-meets-city thing, and it somehow works.
- Melbourne: Full Essentials Tracksuit energy. Hoodie under an oversized coat, chunky sneakers, the whole moody vibe. Perfect for laneways and coffee runs.
- Brisbane & Gold Coast: Hoodie comes out when the sun dips. Celebs wear it over light layers for nights out or casual dinners. Tracksuits are less common here, but warm most of the year.
- Perth: Very relaxed. Hoodies in neutral tones, chucked on over jeans. Tracksuit sets do pop up, especially when nights get cooler.
This is why the brand’s blowing up — it feels like it belongs here, not like some imported look that doesn’t fit the climate.
Hoodie or Tracksuit: Which Wins in 2025?
So which one’s actually winning? The Essentials Hoodie, hands down, if we’re talking pure numbers. It’s spotted more, styled more ways, and is just easier to wear year-round. But the Essentials Tracksuit isn’t far behind. If a celeb wants to look pulled together without putting in much effort, that’s their move.
It’s not really one-or-the-other, though. Most of the celebs you’ve seen in one probably own both. Hoodie on its own for regular days, tracksuit for when they want to turn heads.
What We Can Learn
Celebs set the tone, whether we like it or not. And the fact that so many are leaning on the Essentials Hoodie and Essentials Tracksuit just proves what Aussie streetwear fans already knew: these fits are practical, comfortable, and worth every dollar.
You don’t need to be famous to pull it off. Hoodie for uni, tracksuit for trips, sometimes both for weekend chill. Effortless and always right.
Closing Thoughts
2025 is officially the year of the Essentials Hoodie in Australia. The Essentials Tracksuit is right there beside it, making waves in airports, laneways, and late-night café runs. Together, they’ve basically become the new celeb uniform — but also, somehow, the everyday Aussie uniform too.
So yeah, next time you’re at the shops and see someone in an oversized hoodie with trainers, don’t be surprised if it’s just your neighbour… or, you know, a TV star ducking in for milk. That’s the whole point — it fits everyone.
