Red alert: nine new ways to wear ravishing rouge
It's official: fashion déjà vu is real. I've been here before, extolling the virtues of red in every iteration, and yet, here I am again. To say this colour is having a moment would be a lie. Moments come and go. This is a movement. Why? Red is an antidote to quiet luxury's whisper and the answer to just about anything from escaping a wardrobe rut to making a jaw-dropping entrance. Worn head-to-toe, you might need a safe word. Paired with other hues (especially low-key neutrals) and hey, presto — instant polish. Not convinced? Test drive the theory with a pair of Angelika Jozefczyk 'Sanremo' wide-leg trousers or Wanni Fuga's 'Ally' skirt and thank me later. If you do commit to the bit, consider a chiffon one-shoulder maxi dress from & Other Stories co-ordinated with strappy leather sandals from Parisian brand Rouje. Extra marks for the name. Very on-brand. For something clean and contemporary; the 'Rheo' dress by Samsøe Samsøe or COS's fluid halter neck mini offers equal impact. No red flags here. Colour-shy? Test your comfort zone with low-commitment accessories before challenging your nervous system. COS's gathered leather pouch adds a soft, sculptural element while a large sphere bead necklace from Whistles offers a playful hit of colour-block charm. Better yet, look for red in your wardrobe and experiment with summer shades like buttercup and chocolate for extra wear time. Why? Red is doing the rounds for autumn/winter with cherry proving more than a fleeting flirtation. It's a power player with longevity and bite. Trust me, this one's not going anywhere soon.

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?
