Fashion in Ireland

You'll be fine wearing a fitted pair of trusty jeans most of the time, pairing with a comfortable top during the day and swapping out for a blouse or shirt at night. For men, wearing baseball caps will definitely mark you as a tourist.

The best time to visit Ireland is between March and May, and September to November, when it's not as crowded as it is in summer, or as cold as it is in winter. That said, Ireland has a mild, temperate climate and although it's rainy at times, you can visit all year round.

The biggest draw to Dublin has to be its people. They're the reason the city was recently voted in the top 10 friendliest cities in the world; why it has the greatest nightlife; why its art and culture is some of the most influential and vibrant to be found anywhere.

On average, Dublin experiences a little more rainfall than London, is a bit cooler in summer, and slightly warmer in winter. The British Isles have a temperate insular climate, with average temperatures slightly higher than one might expect given their latitude, an effect that is largely due to the Gulf Stream.

Rainfall is extremely common throughout Ireland. The wettest months, almost everywhere are December and January. April is the driest month generally but in many southern parts, June is the driest.

All in all, Dublin is definitely expensive to visit but it remains a relatively safe and fun place to explore as a tourist. So, I would recommend still visiting, just make sure you budget well before you do!
