What's the occasion? Nine ways to wear that special summer dress
Can you hear that? It's the sound of anticipation as summer RSVPS are sent. From destination weddings to roundy birthdays and al fresco gatherings, there's bound to be an occasion that deserves its own dress. Why not make it a special one? Getting married? Say 'I do' to Petals and Promises, the latest collection from homegrown fashion label, Cobbler's Lane. Based on designer Monica Walsh's wedding day, expect romantic pieces made in Ireland – ideal for intimate nuptials but destined to be worn again. Nothing quite beats an outfit repeat. That's why Latvian brand BAÉ is fast becoming the byword for dresses you'll vow to wear in different ways. Easily adaptable from night-to-day, expect different cuts from mini to maxi with detachable bows and adjustable straps for added comfort. It's this circular thinking beyond the event that also informs Irish designer, Roisin Linnane's aesthetic. Voluminous yet tailored: her glossy forever pieces are sustainably made from ethically sourced fabrics like woven crepe, satin back crepe, silks, jersey crepe, cotton and Irish linen, requiring minimum aftercare. Effortless elegance. Quiet luxury aside, sometimes a conversation starter is what a summer celebration needs. Off to a garden party? Look to RIXO for hand-painted prints and vintage-inspired silhouettes like the 'Hayley' crepe-de-chine midi with its detachable georgette scarf. Just add heels. Ditto for Nigerian brand Wanni Fuga's vibrant cold-shoulder kaftan. Let's not forget WhiteHello's ombre one-shoulder silk gown. Prefer something more whimsical? Sister Jane's flouncy organza and jacquard confections delivers as does & Other Stories' occasion edit. After all, what's a great party, without a great dress?
