It’s not always hot in summer and if you want something with a bit more coverage, wide or loose-fitting trousers are the way to go. This pair combines an oversized look with a feminine silhouette and high waist.

Tie Front Short Sleeve Top – €39.99

A versatile short-sleeved top is a must for the warm weather. This paisley-print one from New Look combines comfort and style to create an effortlessly cool outfit.

Belted shorts – €15

Every summer wardrobe needs a comfortable and stylish pair of shorts. This coral pair from Dunnes Stores are very affordable and feature an elasticated waist. Also available in khaki.

Jersey pleated midi skirt – €47.70

Made with recycled polyester, this easy-to-wear midi skirt is a fantastic summer basic. Not only can it be dressed up or down, it can also be paired with white, blue, navy or even lilac clothing and accessories.

Espadrille sandals – €29.95

Everyone should have a pair of flat, comfortable espadrilles in their style arsenal. Dressier and more supportive than sandals, they provide extra coverage from the sun while still keeping your feet cool.

Striped dress – €59.90

It’s always good to have a dress in your wardrobe that you can take from day to night. This striped number has a cool 80s feel with a vibrant colour palette that allows you to mix and match accessories as you see fit.
