Do Irish women dress badly?

I'm know Donatella Versace and know very little about the fashion trade but are Irish women one of the worst dressed in Europe?

I was walking out of my local shop the other day when a rather large lady walked in front of me with the shortest of shorts I think I've ever seen. Daisy Dukes wouldn't have a patch on these. We are talking butt cheeks on partial show.

I am no prude but come on, this was bordering ridiclous.

The PJ trend now seems to have esculated to towelling bath robes in public. Still not the better of seeing that sight the other day either.
 
Well Donnatella Versace is a horrid dresser.

In the main, I don't think we're great. I laugh when I hear a designer on the radio saying the irish are the most stylish in the world. No we're not.

We wear too much fake tan, too much clothes from PACO, colours which don'r suit our skin tone. Very few irish can carry off full on bright pinks and limes (you see these colours a lot at weddings against fake tan).

Before the PJ's for day wear, there was a lot of cheap fleece and tracksuit bottoms.

Flip flops with un manicured toes are another thing I see too much of .
 
I believe our Irish women are among the best dressed people in the world. Furthermore, they are the most attractive women in the world. Sorry to sound sexist, but no others come near.

the first part of this made me laugh, my mother LOVES Paco...never really got why.

the second part, I don't have a problem with. I wear sandles and flipflops all summer, I keep my feet neat and clean so I dont see why I have to keep them manicured too??? Im beginning to get paranoid about what people think of my poor feet though!

I think you need to go to Specsavers.

In fairness, I think Irish people have improved in recent years and younger Irish girls dress quite well. I hate this generic dead straight dyed blonde hair + loads of fake tan look though.

I don't think Summer brings out the best in us Irish women . Our pale white skin just don't suit very revealing clothes. Also why do so many overweight women wear leggings with short tops. It's a really horrible look.
I also hate it when you see young girls with huge legs teetering around in really short dresses. They look ridiculous.

You clearly weren't in Poland for the Euros!

I'm pretty sure I came home with mild whiplash due to the amount of head-turning...
 
Irish wimmin the best dressed in the World?

You have got to be joking,Irish women like Irish men just do not come within an asses roar of most Europeans,look at the Italians but who cares we are not the worst dressed either (think Big Fat Gypsy Wedding)

As for Irish women being the most attractive?

Cant disagree...shur didn't I marry one
 

The Italians are fashionable but they are also sheep. They all wear exactly the same things. I lived in Milan for a while and I used to be able to tell what the men and women would turn up in on a night out. They could never guess what I would throw on! The fact that we Irish are as white as snow also works against us. We also have different body shapes. You could put an Irish person and an Italian in the same clothes and the Italian would nearly always look better.

As a man, I like the way the majority of Irish women dress.

To be fair I think that Polish women were equally impressed with the cream of Irish manhood who travelled to the Euros !

Our little group certainly caught more than a few of of them looking at us as if they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing.

Who knew that a combination of sandals , shorts , figure hugging polyester Irish jerseys topped off with a bright Orange fright wig could prove so attractive to central European female tastes ?

The downside however was that the women in question were either too shy or probably too much in awe of us to approach us - probably akin to women being afraid to approach Brad Pitt because they feel they have no chance - such a pity!
 
the eastern european women over here all seem to be dressed like there gangsters wifes from the movies....tight jeans/dresses, high heels....at all hours of the day!!!
I tried, but my missus won't loose the flipflops and follow their lead.

I think the 'boom' led to a vast improvement in how Irish women dressed and looked after themselves. But I think eastern european women especially, seem to look after themselves much more as they get older/have kids etc IMO
 
I am not sure about Irish women being the worst dressers BUT a lot of them seem to have absolutely no interest in properly looking after themselves or making the best of themselves. What I mean by that is keeping reasonably fit and dressing for their age and shape. I agree that it's ridiculous (I'd say nearly disgusting) to see an overweight woman in tiny shorts, very short and tight dress / skirt or leggings. It just doesn't suit them and they'd look ten times better, despite being overweight, in something more suitable for their shape. At least now there are loads of stores which cater to this demographic and offer affordable yet fashionable clothes.

I also don't think I've seem more severely overweight women of all ages anywhere else. Let me make it clear that if anything I could do with about ten pounds less myself. However, as a woman with 10Lb to lose who just tipped to the wrong side of 30 and one child, I don't think that leggings or a micro-dress (or any other 100% cheap and shiny polyester) are appropriate clothes for me. Instead, there are millions of well fitting jeans, dresses, tops, cardigans, etc... out there and they are not un-affordable.
 

I don't mind flip flops but do you wear them to work?

I'll settle for clean, but what I see is 3/4 length trousers and plastic flip flops with chipped nail polish.

I'm no jackie kennedy but when I leave the house I wear/not wear certain stuff.
 

My mother just loves Basler and while I don't have a problem with that, I would die roaring. before I'd wear it.
