Do Irish males dress well?

I'm glad someone finely clarified what exactly dressing well entails.

It could go either way! Buttoned black jacket, v neck jumpers and scarves could be a good choice or bad choice depending on the man and the clothes. if in doubt as a female friend or well dress male friend to go shopping with you.

Nice pair of boots, matching color belt, with plain dark jeans, fitted shirt and either a jacket or jumper.

Boots, are we talking about womens clothing or neo-nazis?

Some do...most days jeans and a t-shirt do me.. rarely wear tracksuit's!

The problem lies were a certain type of person dresses a certain way or a re forced to dress a certain way.....!

Jeans and t-shirt is what most younger men would wear as a casual look while older men may wear a shirt, now that just my view on it.

There are a few nice tracksuits out there but thanks to our 'story bud' generation unless your jogging or going training well your out drinking and robbing :rolleyes: (Stereo type)

Was disgusted yesterday when I received a parking ticket, not because of the ticket but by the Garda who looked me up and down in my tracksuit then looked at my car as to say where did you get that car from and how can you afford it :mad:

Now I'm ex-army and have kept my 'marine' hair cut since I was 17, coupled with my tracksuit the Guard obviously thought hey what have we here! Hence my 'forced to wear comment' I felt like I had done something wrong because I wore tracksuit while driving a nice car and feel I just just wear jeans and a shirt from now on :mad:

Then there's time's when I wear shoes, jeans and shirt. I always get a different response from people depending if you wear runner or shoes with jeans?? Or am I just being paranoid!!

So yes the majority of Irish men are well dressed and look respectable no matter the occasion but I feel as if sometime we have no choice but to wear what is deemed to be appropriate!!

Sounds like you were pulled over by the fashion police.

I see some younger lads dressing well, dressing well is subjective tho, i think ill fitting clothes just do nothing for men. A nice fitted pair of jeans or chinos, and jumper or shirt can do wonders. A lot of irish men buy clothes that dont fit well. Also agree with the tracksuit thing, as well as the bootcut jeans and jersey. And i'll also add the "If found return to the pub t shirts" etc ! They need to be banned !

A few people have mentioned that younger men dress well in comparison to older men. I'm not sure about the accuracy of this. A few weeks before Christmas I was up in UCC and half the guys were walking around wearing grey cotton tracksuit pants and ill-fitting hoodies with huge brand names on them.

I remember a few years ago I was in Amsterdam in the winter time and I was struck about how well both the men and women were dressed. The big difference seemed to be that people had really put thought how the different items complimented each other to form a good look. I think a lot of Irish guys will just throw things together randomly and not really give any consideration to whether it matches up or not.

But they were students. We are talking about me in general. Students tend to dress in a much more casual way.

What do people hate and like to see men and women wear?

My pet hate is ill fitted clothes and summer clothes wore in winter and visa versa.
