It’s the time of year to invest in some hardworking occasionwear staples that will take you anywhere

There’s nothing like a strong pop of colour to add drama to your outfit and a fresh glow to your complexion. This beautiful lime dress from Lennon Courtney for Kilkenny Design features a flattering V-neckline, an elasticated waistband, and a detachable shoulder strap for a customisable sleeve length.

With a charming floral print, wide-leg silhouette and wrap-style bodice, this is a jumpsuit that you will wear time and time again thanks to its comfort and versatility. Team with a blazer, chunky heels and clutch for a stylish Confirmation or Communion day outfit.

And Other Stories: Beaded Tulle Mini Dress – €129

This irresistible mini dress is deceptively simple but has lots of features that make it unique. With a round neck and classic A-line silhouette, it’s perfect for pairing with a structured jacket for a corporate event while the tulle ruching, decorative beading and softly scalloped edging on the skirt make it easy to dress up for a special occasion.

Paul Costelloe: Ivory Sophia Top – €50

If you already have a suit or skirt that you love but would like to update it with something new, this luxurious top from Paul Costelloe is just what you need. Elegant in its minimalism, it has covered buttons at the cuffs and back neck and looks super stylish tucked into any type of trousers.

Sinead Keary: Wrap blazer and satin trousers – €198 and €135

Worn as a full suit, this stunning blazer and longline trouser combination is undoubtedly a show-stopper but you will get so much wear out of each individual garment separately as well. Wear with statement earrings and elegant heels for an effortlessly polished look.

Carraig Donn: Chuck On Long Wrap Coat in Blue – €40

Smart, vibrant and perfect for layering in changeable weather, this coat is a great piece to have in your wardrobe. It is ideal for popping on over your outfit to stay warm if there’s a chill in the air without feeling sweaty if it happens to be a sunny day.

Kate Cooper: Graphic print trousers suit – €199 and €125

Photo: Grey’s Templemore

Incredibly chic as a suit, this outfit is a fantastic investment for after the event when you can wear the jacket and trousers separately, dressed up or down. Pair the trousers with a blue or white shirt for the office or wear the trousers with a casual tee and denim jacket with flats for a day out.
