Spring Chic - Caroline Morahans Style Tips
By: Niamh, February 22
We’re big fans of the super-stylish Caroline Morahan and we do love it when she fills us in on her tops style tips.
Here she brings us her top picks from Littlewoods Ireland’s new Spring Summer collection and how best to achieve each look.
The Candy Shop (Ice cream and candy colours)
“Whether or not you’re a girlie girl, the candy colours that have come through this season are so delicious even tomboys will want to wear them. The great news is these soft shades (of strawberry, peach and lemon) look wonderful on our cool Irish complexions.”
It’s a fact – a pretty dress puts everyone in a good mood! For those who feel a bit flat of chest, a higher neckline will help achieve a fuller look up front; )”
In love with lemon – South Pretty Prom Dress, €54
“If a thigh high hemline doesn’t put you off, a 60s style mini dress is guaranteed to turn heads. Never team a stiletto heel with a hem this high - a wedge is much more demure.”
Thigh’s the limit – Love Label Lace Sleeve Detail Dress, €44
Whitewash
“There’s a simple reason white is a perennial favourite for summer - when done right it looks simply fabulous! But don’t ruin a great outfit with the wrong underwear. Dark flesh coloured underwear is preferable to white. So the first step has to be - sort out your smalls!”
The gold trim of the South Embellished Hem Dress, €72 adds a glamorous twist to this classic shift dress. Team gold or nude shoes with your white look to pull your ensemble together – white shoes would be overkill.”

Prints Charming
“Get your tribal groove on, have fun with florals or jump into some geometrics! Whatever you fancy, we’ve got a print to match this season so have fun and experiment.”
Prints add a great edge to your run of the mill office dress. This geometric number will add some fun and colour to your office look.”
Print and File – South Print Shift Dress, €54
“Wide leg trousers are great for a laid back summer look and the tribal print gives an instantly funky feel.”
Out of Africa – South Printed Wide Leg Maxi Trousers, €39
Bright and Bold
“Not for the faint hearted, big and bright colours make a bold statement this summer. Vivid pinks, hot reds, kelly greens; they’re all here! You can colour block or wear them alone - either way prepare to stop traffic!”
Colour blocking is a great way of keeping attention on your assets and if you are feeling a little self-conscious, wrap dresses are a godsend to anyone who wants to look slimmer.”
Teatro Corsage Wrap Dress, €89
Black and Gold
“Evening wear is enjoying a metallic moment as gold shifts into the spotlight this summer. But it’s not the brash, all out bling of past seasons. Look for black dresses with subtle touches of gold. We’re not channelling Vegas here!”
Don’t waste your money on a going out dress unless you feel great in it. This dress (South Necklace Dress, €44) is an instant ego boost for anyone self conscious about their body. The cleverly constructed pleats will do wonders for your tum.”
