Expert Style Advice – Shop H&M With Fashion Guru Irene Feeney

This season has neutral tones and lots of fun patterns in store!

The latest spring/summer collection from H&M has hit the stores, affording fashionistas the trendiest seasonal pieces at affordable prices. Irish style guru Irene Feeney – a mom of two and lover of high-street fashion – took us on a trip around one of the brand’s Dubai outlets. Selecting her favourite stand-out pieces, she also threw together a few looks for team Gaggler that you can recreate or use as inspiration for your next H&M shopping trip.

The collection is full of soft, neutral colours, from tan tones through to pinks. Originally appearing on the runways in 2019 in their lighter form, the hues for this season have slightly darker tones. Whatever your preference, you can be sure there is a shade to suit every skin tone.

Eye-catching pieces in the new collection include a dark beige polka dot shirt, which will be perfect for meetings, and a light beige check blazer, ideal for casual-smart wear.

Patterns remain a recurring theme on this season’s runways so you can expect to see more animal prints. A gorgeous teal button-down dress, with black and white animal print detail, is a highlight of the collection. Stripes are also a favourite and, of course, lots and lots of floral motifs.

Putting together a work-ready outfit, Irene pairs a gorgeous pair of wide-legged camel pants with a hot pink shirt and white and beige coloured sneakers. This season you’ll be seeing more pants that favour a liberated look with less structured tailoring.

Looking pretty in pink and ready to blossom, another look created by Irene features a flowing, pleated pink skirt, matched with a floral pink T-shirt. The outfit is completed with a pair of block heels and a beige khaki jacket thrown over the top – ideal for a casual gathering with friends.

One of the collection’s stand-out pieces is a super funky denim jumpsuit. For ultimate comfort and versatility, it can be worn with heels, as by Irene, or matched with sneakers or boots for a more contemporary look.

Other notable pieces include a lilac sweater, ideal for brunettes, a beige linen kimono, ideally matched with wide-legged pants or skinny jeans, and a classy flowing green dress with a white floral pattern, ideal for the summer months.

Whatever the occasion you are shopping for, be sure to check out H&M’s latest collection.

Spring-Summer 2023 Fashion Trends

Go bold this season.

Ahh Summer, what an amazing time of year, unless you live in Dubai and sweating from places you didn’t know existed! Whether you are travelling out of the heat or sticking it out in the UAE, I have rounded up some summer favourites for this season to keep you cool, calm and stylish.

Oversize It

It’s no secret that I love oversized everything. So the high heat of summer is no exception. In fact, oversized clothing is a big trend for summer this year. Long hemlines are showing up again in the form of full-length skirts and maxi dresses. I found these little gems at Emilia Ohrtmann. The fabrics are so beautiful and soft, I especially loved the Amaia Dress, the colour is absolutely stunning in this soft dove tone and I contrasted it with a brown leather belt. Her oversized Lily dress is an easy go-to for hot summer days and since sparkling bags are set to be another huge hit this summer, I’ve teamed it with this sequin clutch from Desert Totes.

Flower Power

Next up, Flower Power! It’s time to pull out those big, bold florals! The runways for Spring-Summer 2023 are beaming with floral designs, from all-over ditzy prints to bold 3D floral shapes, this season has them all. Needless to say, I don’t think we’ll see too many people rocking Loewe’s runway tribute to the Anthurium Flower any time soon. Nevertheless, the concept was a stunning and dramatic opening for the summer season, topped off with deflated balloon shoes and contrasting bold hues.

For a more wearable version of this trend, head over to Carolina Herrera for some inspiration of a head-to-toe ditsy print with a 3D element – this could be paired down and worn with a crisp white leather skirt for an evening look. Magda Butrym, also known as, The Queen of Florals gives an alternative to this trend with a more subtle tone-on-tone version of the 3D floral, with this chic oversized mackintosh. Lastly, Simone Rocha, shows us how to play with feminine floral shades on bolder shapes with masculine detailing for a fashion-forward summer look.

Cobalt Bold

Another trend I cannot wait for is cobalt blue for the summer season. This shade is one of my all-time favourites when it comes to going bold. In the past, I’ve tried to get hold of this colour but it’s so hard to find the right colour and shape in the same garment, so to know Spring-Summer 2023 is the season of cobalt, brings me much joy! I’m going to be looking for oversized tops, pop colour bags and evening wear in cobalt.

To head down the simplest route for cobalt, select a slim-line lightweight top and pair it with tailored trousers and you’re good to go. The colour is a good standalone statement piece so you won’t need too many accessories or details to make it look sleek and on-trend. I like this version from Cos. If you’re feeling bold, they also have a satin shirt which will definitely make a statement at the office, simply paired with black trousers will do nicely to tone the look down a little. If you want to go all out, the easiest way is with a full suit, oversized blazer and wide-leg pants to match. Maybe save it for that important presentation or for the review with the boss, nothing says confidence more than a full cobalt blue pantsuit!
