TREND OF THE WEEK: IRISH ‘SUMMER’ STYLE
Prepare for all eventualities with a few ‘rain or shine’ wardrobe staples.
* 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.
