WHAT IS HIS, IS HERS
If you buy just one new thing for SS24, make it a menswear-inspired waistcoat. Embrace relaxed tailoring with NAYA’s out-of-office style waistcoat, featuring a double-breasted front and exaggerated peak lapels. Naya favours timeless styles over seasonal trends, €149.95; www.jennys.ie.
LABEL ALERT
Take a fun-first approach to dressing with Franco-Irish label Molly Bracken. Created by husband and wife Julian and Catherine Sidonio, MOLLY BRACKEN is named after Julian’s Irish grandmother. An excellent go-to for affordable, on-trend pieces with prices starting from €39, the label focuses on style, comfort and convenience. The first thing we want? The Mera print dress: there’s nothing quite so lovely as a box-fresh summer dress. This one is feminine without being frilly, €101; www.mollybracken.com and stockists nationwide.
RESORT WEAR
You may be familiar with MOON + MELLOW’s smart cotton pyjamas, but wait until you see the brand’s latest offering of playful resortwear. The Irish label’s easy mini-dresses are perfect for sunny climes. Moon + Mellow’s pink flamingo and palm tree print organic cotton resort dress with pockets, €300, can be worn loose or belted. Matching headband, €45; www.moonandmellow.com.
SMART STEAL
4TH ARQ may have only launched in 2020, but it has already gained a huge following thanks to its flattering and functional activewear and very affordable wardrobe staples, like this gorgeous trench coat. In sizes XS to XXL. www.4tharq.com.
SUMMER WHITES
It’s hard to resist the appeal of a pristine white suit. If you want to look polished and put together in an instant, look at LILI SIDONIO’s three-piece version: wear as a suit, or separately. Finish off with gold jewellery and 1990s-inspired leather mules or sneakers, €251; www.sheenasboutique.ie.
