Forever New

Shopping Forever New: pick your dress or outfit, then check out through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Forever New is an Australian women's fashion retailer headquartered in Richmond, Melbourne, trading across five continents with local sites for Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, India, South Africa and Singapore. The range covers dresses (day, midi, maxi, cocktail, formal, bridesmaid, wedding guest and race day), tops, pants, skirts, jackets, knitwear, co-ord sets, denim, linen, workwear and resort, plus Petite and Curve ranges and accessories such as bags, jewellery and hats. Shop at forevernew.com.au after clicking through from the ShopBack Forever New page to earn Cashback.

Forever You Rewards is free to join online or in store. You get 10% off your first full-price purchase, earn one point per dollar, and every 500 points in your loyalty year becomes a $50 voucher valid 90 days on full-price transactions of $50 or more. Members also get a $25 birthday voucher (on a full-price purchase of $100 or more), a Choose Your Sale Day of 20% off full-price items once you have spent $200 in the year, and VIP event invitations. Department store concession, third-party and overseas purchases do not count, and the tracker resets each anniversary. Redeem vouchers from the dropdown at checkout.

Forever New keeps a permanent Sale section refreshed at season changes, with the deepest markdowns at EOFY in June, Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026) and Boxing Day (December 26, 2026). Occasionwear demand peaks before the spring racing carnival in late October and early November and before December weddings, so new-season dresses are rarely discounted then; buy full price with a Forever You voucher or wait for the post-Christmas sale. Check the live Sale section and the ShopBack Forever New page before buying.

Online orders can be returned by post through the Returns Portal or at any Forever New store in Australia, excluding department store concessions. Postal returns carry a flat AU$7.99 fee unless the item is faulty or incorrect; in-store returns are free. Parcels take about 3 to 7 business days to reach the warehouse, refunds are processed within 7 business days of receipt, and funds land 3 to 5 business days later. Orders cannot be changed or cancelled after payment. Orders placed from 22 September 2026 use the new Returns Portal; earlier orders use the temporary process linked on the returns page.

Both are Australian mid-tier womenswear chains with stores and online shops. Portmans leans towards tailored workwear and smart casual; Forever New leans towards occasionwear and event dressing, with Petite and Curve cuts and a voucher-based rewards programme. Pricing overlaps on dresses, blazers and pants, so compare the specific piece; our Sportsgirl vs Portmans vs Forever New workwear comparison goes line by line. Both are ShopBack Australia merchants; click through from each merchant page to earn on whichever you buy from.

Review is an Australian label known for retro-inspired fit-and-flare dresses and coordinated occasionwear. Forever New covers similar occasions with more contemporary silhouettes (bodycon, midi, maxi, satin, linen) and adds workwear, denim, knitwear and resort, plus Petite and Curve ranges. For one event dress, compare the two edits for the date; for a broader wardrobe from one account, Forever New's range depth and Forever You vouchers favour repeat shopping. Forever New orders earn ShopBack Cashback when you click through from the ShopBack Forever New page.

Forever New says Click and Collect is free: choose a Forever New store at checkout, and the order is usually ready within 1 to 3 business days, with an email when it is waiting. Collect within 10 days of the notification or the order may be cancelled and refunded. You can ask Customer Service to cancel before it is prepared, though Forever New may not be able to stop it in time. A Click and Collect order placed through ShopBack is treated like a delivered order for Cashback.

Forever New runs a dedicated Race Day Dresses edit alongside Occasion Accessories and Signature Jewellery, so a full carnival outfit can come from one order: dress, hat, bag and earrings. The spring racing carnival runs through late October and early November 2026 in Melbourne, when new-season occasionwear is full price and stock is deepest. Allow for standard delivery (3 to 7 business days) or use Express Post for AU$14.99, and click through from ShopBack first so the whole outfit earns Cashback.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. You can log in to your Forever You account at checkout as usual. The Forever New page on ShopBack lists separate rates for new and existing customers.

For example, returning one dress from a three-piece order adjusts the Cashback in proportion.
