Many of us will be holidaying at home this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
While bikinis and sunglasses don't seem the wisest choices for an Irish summer, there are lots of affordable ways you can update your summer wardrobe.
The weather hasn't been very kind to us so far unfortunately, but there's no reason why you can't look chic on a staycation whether you're taking a hike, hitting the beach or camping.
Here are our top summer picks all priced under €50:
Summer shoes
Espadrilles are great for a day at the beach and look effortlessly chic.
We love these black ones from Asos, which are an absolute steal at €17.70/£12.80.
Sleeveless top
With Ireland's unpredictable climate, it can go from chilly to balmy in a matter of minutes and you need items you can layer.
This adorable knitted rib roll top from Karen Millen will keep you cool and is easy to layer under a denim jacket.
Best of all, it's currently on sale from €75 to €45/£55 to £33 and comes four other colours if black isn't your thing.
Bright blue sandals
Nothing says summer like a pair of sandals and we love these turquoise blue 90s style Asos Design mules.
The mid-heel makes them perfect for a staycation night out and the colour will make you forget your holiday blues.
They are priced at a pocket-friendly €34.99/£25.
Floral dress
And this beautiful floral dress is sure to make you feel like a ray of sunshine even if it's bucketing down outside.
It can be layered over a t-shirt if it's chilly or worn by itself on a warm day.
It comes in khaki and black from &OtherStories and is currently reduced to €36/£33.
Casual skirt
For a skirt you can dress up or down, look no further than this red beauty with white polka dots and a side split from Dresses.ie.
It is just €28 and would look great with white trainers, boots or sandals or dressed up with a kitten heel.
Sassy swimsuit
If you do fancy taking a dip in Ireland's chilly waters, then be sure to bring your togs.
This beautiful one-shoulder swimsuit is currently on sale for just €12/£10 at River Island.
Basic tee
You can't go wrong with a simple white t-shirt that you can mix and match with all your outfits.
We love this 'Liberte' print one from Karen Millen, currently reduced to €15 from €25 (£11.40 from £19).
It also comes in grey with white lettering.
Cosy jacket
Finally you'll need a jacket (or two) when staycationing.
We love this pink suedette quilted biker jacket from River Island that'll keep you cosy and stylish.
It comes in sizes 6 to 18 and is currently reduced to €30/£25.
