Summer has arrived and with it the perfect opportunity to flex your style muscles, these are the looks inspiring us for June …
What could be chicer for a weekend at home than Khaite on Khaite? The new season sheer silk organza dress paired with the highly coveted Scarlet cardigan is a lesson in high-low dressing. Pair with satin mules for eveningwear, or simple sandals for day.
Embrace maxi skirt season by pairing your favourite white skirt with a pop of red. We love this striped shirt by Sezane – you’d wear it all summer long, from beach days to work days.
Ethically made in Denmark, Vielle is our latest discovery for sleek, simple separates. We love this floaty two piece seen on stylist Camilla Birkebæk. Dress the pants down with laidback Havaianas for a louche weekend look.
Denim and shirting is a timeless combination for a reason. But instead of white for summer, swap in your favourite crisp cotton poplin shirt in black. Paired with wide-leg jeans (these are from Agolde) and simple ballet flats, you’ve got a chic and comfortable look for weekend errands.
A linen look we can’t get enough of, this matching set is from Marks & Spencer. The earthy beige shade means these pieces will be ultra-versatile all summer long. Top tip? We know that stylist and influencer Monikh usually sizes up for an effortless fit.
When it comes to co-ordinates, there’s a lot of talk about shirts and trousers, but what about delicate, summer-perfect tops and skirts? Our favourite set is by Mother Denim, pictured – we love the midi hemline on this skirt.
An oversized leather jacket is the perfect way to toughen up a pretty summer blouse. Go for vintage styles or aged leather for a lived in look.
Off to dinner? A statement white top is the coolest thing to wear with jeans. Look to warming shades like ecru and cream, and choose a piece that has an interesting shape, whether it’s an aysmmetric neckline or an architectural ruffle.
Speaking of great white tops, this bandeau top, replete with corsage detailing, and jeans seems like the perfect summer night in town look.
Even if the weather is gloomy, you can still nod to summer. Choose long-line shorts like Bermudas over denim cut-offs, and pair with structured pieces like a blazer and ballet flats for polish.
Looking to break out your good summer dress? Style it with a pastel knit slung over your shoulders.
Those denim jackets of your youth? They’re back. Rejoice! Not only does a denim jacket go with everything, it’s the perfect layering piece for an Irish summer. Look for oversized shapes in classic true blue denims, with elevated detailing like cinched cuffs.
What could be better than a pastel pink power suit? This one, pictured, is by Barbour, but we also love this linen tapered mauve version by Jaeger for a refined nod to the trend.
Elevate a denim midiskirt with a pair of kitten heels and a smart top: it’s the perfect look for staycation dinner and drinks.
Long weekends call for effortless striped shirting. Pair with jeans or, if the weather plays ball, cropped A-line denim shorts.
