Street trend: Ingrid Hoey

Occupation: Stylist

What are you wearing? I’m wearing a Zara top, BCBG Maxazria jeans, a gold leather studded jacket by Emma Manley and shoes from Marks & Spencer

Describe your style in three words? Classic, tailored, individual.

How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? 10 minutes.

Fashion or function — which word best describes your attitude to clothes and why? Both — I love individual pieces that are different but comfort has to play a part in my choices too.

What’s your biggest source of style inspiration? My friends who all have incredible taste in clothes.

What do you think of Irish street style? It’s amazing, I love people watching at any chance I get.

Where do you like to shop? I shop everywhere from high street to special buys from Irish designers which I love to wear.

Who or what is Ireland’s greatest undiscovered gem? Too many to mention but two Irish designers come to mind: Laura Jayne Halton, who creates the most beautiful clothes and CoraLlei an Irish handbag designer.

Why does your style/outfit work? I love mixing white and metallic: be it silver or gold; plus it’s very wearable from day to night.
