If you’re on a budget but don’t want to sacrifice quality or design, here are 20 Australian clothing brands that are affordable and stylish.

When it comes to shopping, it can be hard to balance your love of quality, your desire to protect the environment and your need to support Australian brands with an ever-dwindling bank balance.

To put it simply: good clothes typically cost more, and when it comes to fashion, you often get what you pay for.

But thankfully, some innovative, smaller Australian labels are bringing quality clothing to the table for a fraction of the price of international designers (and protecting the environment in the process).
