Based on typical February conditions in Sydney. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
February maintains summer humidity across Sydney's waterfronts like Circular Quay where gusty winds mix with heat. Blue Mountains day trips start warm but require adaptable layers as humidity builds. Sudden southerly busters remain a pain point at Bondi Beach, cooling afternoons rapidly after morning sun exposure.

Business Casual
Linen Blazer Espadrilles
A white linen blazer over a matching blouse and wide-leg trousers makes hot rain navigable with full coverage. Espadrilles and aviators ensure it reads as dressed — not overdressed.
