We want it all! You are going to be legit all OVER this Irish fashion line

Summer can be tricky in Ireland especially if you have a big event coming up.

You never know if it will be bright and sunny or if you'll be running for cover from a shower of hailstones.

Given this classic national dilemma, Irish designer, Helen McAlinden has us totally covered, and we are PUMPED!

Her new SS16 collection boasts form-fitting dresses, sexy jumpsuits, cool and casual skirts as well as really breathable cover-ups (In case the sun and rain hit at the same time – cheers, Ireland!)

Helen is celebrating her 15th year in Irish Fashion, and it clearly stands to her as she totally understand exactly what us cailíní want. 

Her overall influence for this season is American 30s, 40s, and 50s flare – pairing nautical prints with simple structured dresses that will suit any body type.

Her designs will nip you in at the waist -creating a perfect hourglass shape – all the while concealing any lumps and bumps you may want to hide (Damn that extra slice of chocolate cake).

Our top picks at the moment are the slinky navy jumpsuit (perfect for date night), the denim crossover skirt (perfect for a cool summer wedding) and the faux suede tied jacket (perfect for any evening event, really).

So, if you're heading to a wedding, a party, the races, or just fancy dressing up for the fun of it, Helen McAlinden will have you sorted.

Commenting on her SS16 collection, the acclaimed designer said: “My designs are underpinned with the very best fabrics, chosen for luxurious quality and durability of style."

"It is always my goal to create a range to suit real women’s shapes and to flatter all ages, and I feel my latest collection has achieved what I set out to create," she added.

Oh, it certainly has.

The Helen McAlinden SS16 collection is now available in her flagship South William Street store, Arnotts and House of Fraser in Dundrum Town Centre or visit her website here.
