Australian vacation-wear with a tailored backbone, easy dressing for the woman between desk and departure gate.
Think: vacation mode, everyday
The buy: the wrap-front cotton shirt
the wrap-front cotton shirt
Modalità Vacanza dresses the workweek in a holiday mood: relaxed wrap shirts, soft tailoring and faux-suede pieces that go from desk to dinner.
The backbone is the cotton shirt, cut relaxed with an adjustable wrap at the front, so the same piece can be cinched for the office or worn loose at the beach. Around it sit tailored blazers and skirts, floaty chiffon tops and faux-suede skirts and jackets in soft colors, all meant to mix, so a suit jacket can end up over a holiday dress.
Tayla-Lea Schulz, a lawyer, founded Modalità Vacanza in 2023 in Kingscliff, on the coast of Northern NSW. She missed the lightness she felt packing for a holiday and wanted it in what she wore to work.
Her first tailored pieces were made with her grandmother, and the label grew into a mix of workwear and resort clothes, built on the idea that one wardrobe can carry you from the desk to a dinner by the sea.
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
Sizes run XS to XL, with a small equal to an AU 8 or a US 4. Shirts are cut relaxed with an adjustable wrap, and the faux-suede skirts sit mid-to-low on the hip, so check the model measurements on each page.
Shirts are cotton or cotton poplin. Pieces named suede are a heavyweight polyurethane faux suede, hand wash only, and the tailoring is recycled polyester.
US orders ship from Australia by FedEx or DHL Express with duties and taxes already in the price, so nothing is due on delivery.
Returns are accepted within 14 days, but international buyers pay the return shipping and duties aren't refunded. International sale orders get store credit only, and orders from limited-time sale events are final sale.
