Is a knitted dress the perfect solution to the unpredictable Irish summer? The fashion pack says so. Maybe it’s the unexpected nature of the proposition (knits aren’t exactly a traditional summer fabric in the fashion world; although Irish people would disagree) or the fact that high-end labels like Jacquemus are granting the knitted dress a new verve, but we agree. What appeals now are bold, open-knit bandeau dresses, as popularised by Zara and H&M, or striking pleated iterations which will have real impact: see the just-landed grey dress below by COS. How do you style one for summer? We’re looking to Finnish label Almada (FYI: we love its seasonless staples all year round), by pairing it with no-fuss flip flops and a simple black headband.
