Discover Kildare Village Personal Stylist Johanna Dooley's edit of sophisticated summer holiday pieces blended with versatile styling to transition seamlessly from day to evening.
Effortless day dressing

Johanna’s approach to packing for a city break begins with one anchoring piece. “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 ideal for transitional dressing if temperatures shift during the day, or to take you into the evening.” For long days spent exploring, comfortable footwear is essential. Johanna finishes the look with lightweight Claudie Pierlot trainers, adding a modern edge.

STYLE TIP

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

Evening elegance

Johanna takes the same RIXO skirt, paired with a camisole from Zadig&Voltaire, for an elevated yet easy-wearing evening look.
“A silk cami adds a touch of understated glamour to a look, whether for a dinner reservation or evening drinks,” she says. To complete the outfit, she adds a statement metallic bag and coordinating metallic-hued footwear for some intentional cohesion.
