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.

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.

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.

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.
