TREND OF THE WEEK: IRISH ‘SUMMER’ STYLE

Don’t be left out in the cold this summer.

Prepare for all eventualities with a few ‘rain or shine’ wardrobe staples.

Style Notes

* A trenchcoat is every girl’s failsafe staple. Belt over your favourite jeans and tee for a polished look whatever the weather.

* Light layers are key to surviving a ‘soft summer’. Wear breathable fabrics like cashmere, linen and cotton for perma-cool style snaps.

* The benefit of wedges over ballet flats? No wet feet!

* Bright and bold accessories help overcompensate for dull and drab days. Fact.

* Roomy satchel check list: umbrella, sunglasses (preferably rose-coloured), scarf, hat. Good to go.
