This bestselling €49 Topshop dress is perfect for Irish skin tones in summer

One that will take you anywhere.

Anna O'Rourke

We love summer, but summer dressing? Meh.

We’re all about longer days, warmer weather and outdoor pints but the effort of dolling yourself up when the sun is shining would give you a migraine.

Aside from wanting to buy a new sundress/ top/ skirt every week when it’s warm, lots of us feel under pressure to be tanned 24/7 for fear we’ll have to get our legs or arms out.

We here in Ireland are known for being a little on the pale side but whether you’ve a delicate porcelain complexion or your skin actually looks transparent in the sunlight, choosing the right colours for your wardrobe can make a big difference to how you look and feel.

Navy is a colour we sometimes overlook but it’s actually an ideal choice.

It’s super flattering against paler skin tones and will help you wean yourself off black for summer.

We’re particularly obsessed with this one-shoulder number from Topshop right now.

This dress is a real summer holiday piece and will be lovely and light when you’re sweltering.

At €49, it’s getting a lot of love on Instagram right now and is selling out in loads of sizes, so you’d want to be quick to grab it.
