Shop the Shoot: Style Essentials To Get You Through An Irish ‘Summer’

 

It’s raining outside and yet the mercury’s hitting 20 degrees? Oh goody, summer’s here! After a few days of sunshine last month, Irish weather has once again returned to a constant state of humid, slightly sweaty, what-the-eff-is-going-on-with-my-hair madness.

With that in mind, we got real in our August issue and styled our model in some realistic summer style staples. Forget bikinis and kaftans, we’re talking printed midi and A-lines skirts, airy shirt dresses and more statement bombers than you can shake a stick at.

Read on for Team STELLAR’s summer wardrobe essentials, plus how to style each one for whatever weather sitch you find yourself in.

The A-Line Skirt

Team your skirt with a gorgeous crochet halter. Festival style at its best.

If it’s chilly…
Opt for a light knit polo neck, like this Seventies inspired look.

The Bomber Jacket

If it’s sunny…
Team your bright bomber with a slip dress, like this palm print beauty.

If it’s chilly…
Swap that slip for some patchwork denim and keep bare legs for sunnier days.

The Shirt Dress

Shirt dress, €65, Topshop

 

If it’s sunny…
Wear your crisp shirt dress on its tod, with red lippie, a pair of killer heels and a smile.

 

If it’s chilly…
Style it over your favourite skinny jeans. Smart-casual at its finest and a winner for the office.

The Khaki Pants

If it’s sunny…
Team your khakis with a light grey sweatshirt. Beyoncé’s new collection is perfect for that sports luxe style.

If it’s chilly…
Brave some lurex. Seriously though, this polo + these pants + a leather jacket = A/W’16 perfection.

Lurex polo, €105, Topshop Unique

 

The Cold Shoulder Crop Top

Black off-the-shoulder top, €44, Wylder

 

If it’s sunny…
Choose short shorts. Channel your inner Dirty Dancing with a 1950s pin-up look.

Black shorts, €81, J-Crew

 

If it’s chilly…
Go for a graphic midi. Dark, rich, prints with a pair of ankle boots? That’s our winter wardrobe sorted.
