Model influencer Bree McCann reveals best site to buy and sell second-hand clothes

Queensland model Bree McCann reveals the fashion items she can’t live without and the site that everyone should know about to live more sustainably.

Bree McCann

Model, influencer and founder of swimwear label Code B, Peregian Beach

Considered, classic and comfortable, Bree McCann’s wardrobe is as cool as you would expect it to be. The Queensland local, model and Code B swimwear founder favours minimal designs and contemporary styles with neutral tones, vintage denim, tailoring and luxury accessories at the fashion forefront. Risking return Eurostar trips for Burberry is a bold (but celebrated!) move, and it is clear Ms McCann is more than just a someone who wears clothes well. I’m ready to travel the world and source fashion with you Bree!

Bree McCann reveals her fashion tips

How would you describe your personal style?

I am quite a uniform dresser. I like neutral tones, casual looks and classic pieces. I’m not overly girly but I do gravitate towards things that are a little sexy and show shape.

Who are your style icons?

Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid.

What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe?

I have A LOT of vintage denim! I associate different denim with different times in my life and different places I have lived. I like to keep them for memories.

What are your favourite brands?

Camilla and Marc, Dion Lee, Blanca, Helmut Lang, Posse, Nagnata, Matteau and Venroy.

Have you ever made a style faux pas?

Haha yes all the time! I don’t mind a bit of chaos in my wardrobe.

What’s the most you have spent on an outfit?

I think probably an Isabel Marant Leather Skirt and Chanel Boy Bag from my New York days would max the list.

Bree McCann reveals her top three wardrobe must haves.

What is the most surprising thing in (or about) your wardrobe?

I actually don’t have that much considering I’ve worked in fashion for over a decade. I like to keep it fairly tight and I’m quite selective about what stays. I have just done a huge wardrobe clean out with Lisa from the ThePrelovedCloset so most of it is available to shop atm too.

Top three wardrobe must haves?

A good leather jacket, a black suit you love and swimwear that makes you feel amazing — Code B of course;)

What is the most sentimental item in your wardrobe?

A Burberry jacket I bought after my first modelling job in Paris 2010. It was my first luxury purchase and I missed my Eurostar back to London because of it but it was worth it. I hardly ever wear it anymore but I still look at it and smile.

What would you buy if money was no object?

A stylist to travel around the world with me and source beautiful pieces everywhere we go!
