Dressing for an Irish summer is never not challenging; you try to embrace summer but inevitably are faced with wind, rain and erratic temperatures within the one day. Thankfully, we’re not afraid to celebrate the joy of a good summer knit. Perfect for layering with a midi-skirt or for throwing on over a favourite summer dress, it’s a fail-safe wardrobe investment for the Irish summertime. 

Shot to a backdrop of sunshine-yellow gorse, the new collection from Donegal-based knitwear company Moss + Cable makes for perfect summertime apparel. We’re already crushing on the new puff-sleeve cardigan, which comes with dainty heart-shaped buttons, while the new collection of linen scrunchies are a sweet mid-month treat at €15 for a standard size and €18.50 for an XXL style. See the collection below …
