Check out the €17 Penneys dress that's sure to become your new favourite outfit.

A black dress is the type of outfit that will never let you down and on days when you feel like you have nothing to wear, this is the type of look that will get you through. We're particularly into this Penneys piece for it's comfortable, stylish and affordable - the perfect purchase really. The buttoned down style allows for extra comfort and if you add a pair of ankle boots, you have the perfect casual chic ensemble, It's available to buy now but like all Penneys must-haves, we don't see it hanging around for too long. It feels way too early to be talking about summer but at the same time, a popular style insider tip is to buy your sunshine-appropriate gear early in the season, before all the best bits sell out. It's always a good idea to do so with swimwear because the must-have bikinis and one-pieces tend to sell out in record time. Penneys has already shared some of their new-in pieces and we're obsessed with the polka-dot halter neck set. It's practically guaranteed to fly out of stores so if you do want it for yourself, we'd advise popping in asap. If you prefer block colours, the yellow option is also gorgeous. Ahead of any holidays you may have planned, grab your summer bits now, it's one way to distract yourself from Storm Ciara and the fact that warm weather is still agessssssss away.
