10 Irish IT Items We're Loving Right Now

Be it olive or burgundy hues, 1970s or 1980s aesthetics or flowing or structured silhouettes, Irish brands and makers are crafting clothes that are very of-the-moment, while also advocating for a slow trend cycles with quality pieces built to last.

We're sure you’ll fall for something on this list.

1. Rich red

Since Toteme’s viral design we are seeing some truly stunning scarf-coats on the market. Most covetable of all, this herringbone lambswool coat and matching scarf in this seasons signature shade of burgundy, woven by Molloy & Sons of Donegal for The Landskein.

2. Super soft suede

Suede is making a serious comeback. You may be tempted to gravitate towards classic brown hues but these moss and ballet pink shades, from Kinsale Leather, are just as versatile and far more unique.

3. Everyday special

The autumn/winter runways were awash with designers incorporating previously special-occasion-only finishes like velvet, sequin and satin into every day looks. Irish designer Emma Manley shows how to elevate your Monday-Friday with her eye-catching pewter bombers.

4. Top tiers

An homage to the 1970s, spotted on the Chloe’s AW runways, floaty ruffled silhouettes are sure to be a mainstay for the next few seasons. So stock up on pieces that will last, be it tops, skirts or dresses from Belfast-based Kindred of Ireland.

5. Oversized collars

A statement collar popping out underneath a wooly jumper is something fashionistas who covet Ganni and Damson Madder flock to come winter. Now you can shop an Irish linen variety in a vibrant shade of cobalt blue, finished with an oyster shell embroidery detail. All thanks to maker Jennifer Slattery’s collaboration with Indigo & Cloth.

6. Subtle checkerboard

Instead of the vibrant shades seen this summer, the checkerboard motif is more muted for winter. You will never regret investing is a classic Aran knit with a basketweave stitch.

7. Chunky gold

There are few 1980s trends we would happily see making a comeback, but we are here for thick gold jewellery. In saying that there is something of a modern twist on the classic eighties bangles thanks to its undulating surface. Available in recycled sterling silver or 14k vermeil gold.

8. Basque berets

An Irish twist on a French classic that is filling our feeds. 31 Chapel Lane, based in Limerick, have created a rendition of this enduring style in structured felt from pure Irish wool and fully lined in Irish linen. To give any outfit that je ne sais quoi.

9. Knit-kerchiefs

You may have noticed your favourite influencers sporting bandanas wrapped around their necks all summer long? Well this is the chilly-weather switch-up that will keep you cosy and chic.

10. Graphic tees

Have fun with quirky prints from then best of Irish illustrators such as Conor Nolan. The foundation of any off-duty outfit, especially when paired with jeans and a liquid leather layer.
