[waukon73]

I've always wondered what people wear in Ireland. Recently I found out that are school might make a trip to Ireland and that sparked my intrest again. Mods feel free to move the thread if its in the wrong spot.

Em, other than clothes?

Females generally do care about fashion/style. Males... a lot less so.
It's basically the same as in Britain with more emphasis/shops/variation in cities.

i always had the feeling that Irish girls wear a lot of their top quality Linen..
dont ask me why or how.. could it be due to John Rocca ?

I found these pictures on google. Don't know how accurate they are....

I've always enjoyed this Irishman’s sense of style....after all he is magically delicious.

Trendy high street stuff for the most part. Not much traditional wear.

well my friends at uni who are from ireland and northern ireland dress just like everyone else in the uk... your usual high street/trendy stuff. it might just be my friends, but they do tend to wear a lot of colour - more so, IMO, than the english and scots.

traditional irish style, which is not so common with the younger generation, is gorgeous. I the celtic influences in traditional irish clothing and have always tried to integrate them into my wardrobe. I've always gotten a huge source of inspiration from celtic knotwork patterns and traditional dance costumes I grew up seeing in the irish dancing feis (competition) circuit. at feisanna there were always vendors selling beautiful hand made celtic jewellery and irish woollen/linen textile products.

if you get to go to ireland with your school, waukon, do take advantage of these traditional things and buy something! the jewellery is particularly beautiful and I think works beautifully with all types of non-traditional styles.

I decided to take some pictures today. Unfortunately the battery in my camera went, when I was just getting into it.

I missed so many people I liked. And kept ending up with just backs.

Ho, thanks anna.

* the boots, like jelly beans

* black top attracted me with sequins. Easily pleased, I am!

I've decided far too many people wear jeans.

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

* orange-skirted girl looked wonderful from the front. Alas, I missed that.

* 80s

Thanks, Strawberry

Particularly excited about this thread as my heritage is 75% Irish. I can't make it over there at the moment, so I'll live vicariously through this thread
