Kildare Village Personal Stylist Johanna Dooley curates an edit for a sun-soaked getaway. Blending effortless summer sophistication with versatile styling, Johanna selects holiday wardrobe essentials designed to transition seamlessly from day to evening.
Effortless Day Style

Johanna’s approach to packing for a city break begins with one key piece that can anchor multiple looks throughout the trip. “I adore this Rixo silk paisley skirt in a beautiful mix of teal and lilac tones,” she says. “The colour palette makes it incredibly versatile to style across an entire weekend wardrobe”. For daytime, Johanna pairs with a classic white tee and soft American Vintage knit.
“Layering this gorgeous knit over the shoulders gives a relaxed feel and is also ideal for transitional dressing if temperatures shift during the day or to take you into the evening.” For long days spent exploring, comfort in footwear is essential. Johanna finishes the look with lightweight Claudie Pierlot trainers, while adding a modern edge to the look.

Effortless Day Style

Rixo

RIXO skirt
STYLE TIP

Choose a structured bag spacious enough for daily essentials while still polished for evening plans.

Zadig&Voltaire

Silk cami
STYLE TIP

For a seamless day-to-evening transition, change the texture and finish of your accessories and shoes, rather than completely changing your outfit. Metallics and silk fabrics instantly transform a daytime look.

Evening Elegance

For evening, Johanna transforms the same RIXO skirt with a silk cami from Zadig & Voltaire, creating a look that feels elevated yet easy-wearing.
“A silk cami can add a touch of understated glamour to a look, whether it’s for a dinner reservation or evening drinks,” says Johanna. To complete the outfit, she pairs the look with a statement metallic bag and coordinating metallic on the shoes, for a style finish that feels cohesive and intentional.
