I joined the field trip to Australia and interviewed Kelsey Mcfarlane. She is my host parent's daughter. She is 16 year old and a high school student. The guiding question was: "How does weather affects fashion?" Below are my interview questions and results with her.

1. What do you need to wear during spring?

"In spring, it's still quite cold from winter in Australia. I will wear shorts, maybe short skirt, but I wouldn't wear a singlet because it's still kinda cold."

2. Does the weather affect how you dress? How?

"Yes it does, to an extent. But normally people in high school don't really care what weather it is as long as it looks fashionable. People wear short shorts in a rainstorm."

3. What spring colors do you like?

"Yellow is always nice because it's rather slimming but the earthy colors are always good when it's brown, green, etc.

4. Does the materials for your clothes changes every season?

"You could have a winter outfit made from something that you would like have in a summer outfit. It's just basically the shape of the clothes that would differ."

Below are pictures of outfits sold in Australian shopping centers:
