€69, at Oasis
This black pencil dress is a must-have basic piece. It can be worn with or without the belt depending on the style you want to achieve. It's ideal for your work wardrobe but a black dress can be styled to suit any occasion. Add a bright gemstone necklace (easily found in Penneys, River Island or Topshop) to inject colour into your look.
€350, Orla Kiely at Arnotts
Irish designer Orla Kiely has some gorgeous pieces in store for the coming season and this dress is just one of the highlights. The warm blush pink shade is feminine, elegant and guaranteed to become your favourite piece. The belt accentuates the waist and the long sleeves negate the need for a blazer. It's more expensive than our other picks but it's a timeless piece that you will wear year after year.
