An inside look at Penneys' spring/summer 2026 collection

Saying ‘Thanks hun, Penneys’ as you greet your wedding guests is about to become a reality as Penneys has previewed a new bridal range of clothes and accessories for spring/summer 2026 in Dublin.

At the company’s headquarters in Dublin city today, members of the media were invited to a preview of the new season range, from Korean skincare to a particular focus on occasionwear. Here are the key items that caught our eye.

Move over, barrel leg jeans, we’re going dotty for polka dots. A monochrome midi polka dot dress is the next Major Find you’ll be able to pick up in shops soon for €12.

The outer fabric is 100% cotton, while the lining is polyester, and for the price of two pints this is a timeless look that you can pull out of the wardrobe annually.

Korean skincare

There are skincare bargains coming our way too, with Korean beauty on a budget. Think class skin collagen masks, overnight peels, and gel moisturisers, all made in Korea.

The pocket-friendly range is sure to be a great introduction to Korean skincare for anyone curious to try it out.

Mammies, aunties, and every woman you know will be thrilled that Penneys is leaning into occasion wear this season.

From gorgeous gunas to stylish co-ords that you can mix and match, being a guest at a wedding or attending a communion has never looked so good on a budget.

Speaking of weddings, here’s what you’ve been waiting for. The Penneys PR team say they’re going big on bridal this year and from the pieces we’ve seen so far, Irish brides will be all over it.

We love this strapless mini with a long lace underskirt, and they have plenty of accessories and holiday bits for hen parties, honeymoons and happily ever after.

  • Occasionwear will be in stores from late March. Bridal swimwear will be available from March 8 and bridal tailoring from March 30.
