FOLKSTER
Dressing up for weddings, parties and events is firmly back on the agenda, and that means finding a special dress or suit to fit the occasion – or even multiple occasions! A gorgeous range of hand-beaded and embroidered dresses, satin wrap dresses, velvet gowns and romantic tulle skirts are available now at Irish store Folkster, in the sofest colours – dusty rose, sage green, mocha, olive green, as well as pretty florals and graphic prints – with styles available for every shape and size. Folkster’s beautiful dresses are in demand as wedding dresses and bridesmaids’ dresses too – you can even book a private styling appointment for you and your crew, with styling and accessories. Book in store or online.
SELECTED
Selected Femme and Homme collections nail the strong spring tailoring trend. Sharp suits in a range of shades, from white to double cream, to rose, lemon and blue, do double duty for work and after-work events, (as well as for the weekend). Switching your blouse, adding accessories or wearing the jacket separately with jeans or a skirt, makes the suit a very useful spring staple.
HOBBS
Whether you are hosting a wedding or party, or attending as a guest, Hobbs’ wedding and occasionwear collections are the place to find the perfectly fitting and flattering dress. Dresses include fit and flare, shift and A-line shapes, in bold, blousy florals, cool pastel jacquards, pretty polka dots and patterns. Soft pleats lend movement to some, gentle draping adds ease to others, long sleeves feature in many – and all silhouettes are very elegant. Find wristlet and clutch bags, fascinators, luxurious scarves and suede courts in a range of colours, as well as sparkly heels and metallic sandals, which are also just right for the bridesmaid or the bride.
LK BENNETT
This spring, LK Bennett rises to the occasion beautifully with pieces that are formal but fun, and very sophisticated. Dreamy colours, romantic botanical prints and candy stripes appear in ruffled statement dresses, 1930’s-style tea dresses and floral jacquard suits. Exquisite details include ruched bodices and frilled necklines. The colours are delicious: lemon, blue, pink, blush and mint, with prints conjuring up a lush garden of apple blossom, wild poppy, rose and lavender. Statement mules, playful platforms, colourful courts and pretty clutches add the finishing touch.
HUGO BOSS MEN
With new collaborations with American rapper Future, international TikTok star Khaby Lame, South Korean singer and actor Lee Minho, British boxer Anthony Joshua, Italian tennis champion Matteo Berrettini, Hugo Boss’s cool reset is attracting new and younger customers looking for impeccably made clothes with a stylish edge. When it comes to occasionwear, Hugo Boss collaborates with some of the most prestigious fabric suppliers in Europe to create a refined formalwear range. Combining classic tailoring knowledge with cutting-edge technology, elegant suits are designed to ensure the best fit for different body shapes and sizes.

She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle. When everyone else was going for heavy contour and laminated eyebrows, she continued to promote enhancing your natural features with simple tricks and smart product placement. If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
