The Summer sales are in full swing so if you were looking for an excuse to update your warm-weather wardrobe, now you have one. We understand that sometimes it can feel silly investing in light clothing as the Irish weather is so unpredictable, but when the sun arrives on our Emerald Isle, it is absolutely glorious so it’s worth having a summer outfit ready to go. Our favourite hero piece for sunny days is an easy summer dress. From bright colours to fun prints, a summer dress is the ultimate ‘done-in-one’ outfit that just needs simple accessories like sandals, dainty jewellery, straw bags, and oversized sun hats (channel your inner Rachel Green!).

H&M’s dreamy floral printed cotton dress would be perfect for a garden party. Topshop’s black shirred flippy dress is a cute look for a casual catch-up with a pal over coffee. The Rixo Lori floral print maxi dress from Brown Thomas is the perfect showstopper if you’ve got a big event in your summer social calendar.
