Welcome to the ultimate guide to dressing for any occasion!

As Winter turns into Spring and Summer, there tends to be a lot more going on in our social calendar, from simply heading out after work to enjoy the long stretch in the evenings to happy occasions like christenings and weddings. However, when it comes to what to wear, each occasion is totally different, so getting the appropriate look for each of them is going to be an important part of the process. 

Thanks to our friends at Arnotts Dublin, we've got you covered no mater what crops up in the next few months. 

1) Off to the Races

Heading to the races is an excuse to really get yourself dressed up and wear your finest outfit. If ever there was an occasion to dress up, this is it, so don't be afraid to push the boundaries a little and go for something that you wouldn't normally wear. Experiment with clashing prints, like matching this check Magee three-piece suit (€550) with this floral print Simon Carter shirt (€135). Accessories can make your outfit really stand out from the crowd, and this Paul Costelloe bow tie (€17.50) will definitely do that. Be prepared for every weather condition, sunny or rainy with this John Shelvin hat (€130) and this Fulton umbrella (€44), while a brogue, like this one from Kurt Geiger (€130), will complete the outfit. Very dapper indeed.

2) Travel

When travelling, comfort and style is key, but that doesn't mean you need to skimp on the style. You can opt for a smart blazer like this one from Gant (€420) or for a more casual look go with a soft suede jacket like this from Mango (€189.99), an option similar to that which David Gandy has gone for below.

Keep it simple with a plain white t-shirt from Replay (€35) and a sweater that you can keep on or take off as the temperature changes in-flight like this from Diesel (€105). All of this matched with a casual pair of G-Star jeans (€160) and a take on the classic with a pair of Converse (€68). There’ll be no missing your flight with this "fly" timepiece from Tissot (€485), while this Calvin Klein bag (€395) is the perfect size for travelling and getting everything you need on board. 

3) After Work Drinks

It may be casual Friday in the office but after work drinks are on the menu and you still want to make a style statement. This cool nautical knit from Gant (€130) is smart but casual and will take you from the office to the office bbq or after work beer garden. Paired with a bold coloured pant like these from Mango (€49.99), and rolled up to show off your impeccable Kurt Geiger loafers (€85), this look is smart casual at its best and right on trend. Don’t forget to add classic Ray Bans (available in store) to catch those last few evening rays, and the quintessential trench from Selected Homme (€149.95) to keep you dry during those inevitable April showers. If you need to switch between the two, then you can keep one or the other in this Calvin Klein bag (€335) and not worry about losing them. 

4) Wedding

Spring/Summer calls for new colours and is the perfect time to brighten up your wardrobe. So many guests opt for grey or navy but a blue suit, like this one from Baumler (€449) really stands out from the crowd. And if it’s good enough for Paul O’Connell on his wedding day, it’s good enough for us! Match it with these brogues from Kurt Geiger (€95) A classic white shirt is the way to go for a wedding, but the floral print on the inside collar and cuffs of this Pope shirt (€79) add a bit of pizazz to your look and ensure that when the tie comes off and the collar is undone, you still have a great look.The colour of this tie picks up the floral motif on the inside collar and cuffs and brings them to the fore, while hints of blue run through the other accessoroes to compliment your look nicely, like this Gagliardi pocket square (€25) and this Calvin Klein watch (€267). Finish your look with a pair of Ray Bans to make sure that the sunshine in the long Summer evenings doesn't get the better of you.
