What to wear

Hello!

I'll be visiting Ireland the last week of August. So excited!!! Is it OK to wear yoga pants/athletic pants? I've seen some online articles that say no. I'll be spending time in Dublin and in the countryside.

I'd appreciate some suggestions for the best clothing options.

Thank you for your time!
Anna

Hello Anna,

It's great that you are coming over to see us next month! 💚

You can wear anything you want on the island of Ireland! In fact, the weather here changes often, so I usually recommend bringing different layers: a few tops, a light fleece or sweatshirt, a pair of shades and a rain jacket.

Here's a handy travel checklist with packing tips, as well as a video you might find useful.

I hope this helps! What have you got planned during your trip? 

Cheers,
Antoine

Hi Antoine,

This is very helpful - thanks for responding!

I have lots of exciting things planned! Since this is my first time, I'll be visiting plenty of popular sites, and I'm looking forward to seeing the stunning countryside.
And of course, eating will be a priority!😂 Any recommendations for a particular food or meal I should try? 
Also, I don't want to inadvertently offend anyone. Are there things you advise I do - and don't do - to help prevent that from happening?

Thank you for your time!
With regards,
Anna
