I lived in Galway for two years so I can tell you that it is nearly always very windy there regardless of the weather and time of year, and it does rain alot, having said that on the rare occasion when there is no wind and it is sunny it is one of the niciest places in the world to walk around, I would be more worried about suitable clothing for weather than style , but the style is pretty casual due to the big student population

Are you going to Galway university? Usually people here just wear ordinary casual clothes during the day ie jeans & jumper. At night time to go out most people will get dressed girls will wear dresses, skirts, tops, heels. Remember a really good warm coat, scarf, gloves and hat Galway is on the Atlantic coast and will get very cold during the winter.

Jeans and jumpers - but like, stylish jeans and jumpers. Good leather shoes.
Warm clothes, wool is good. Raingear - no, not umbrellas, the things will be in smithereens within minutes what with the gale force winds that regularly blow in from the Atlantic. Proper raincoats. Hats. Scarves.
Think layers.

Like every where else in the world! We follow the American, French, English, etc, styles and fashion!! Just bring a nice warm coat and funky scarves!! Everyone has their own style, so wear what you want!!

Ive been to galway good choice its very nice. make sure u bring a variety of clothes, but something waterproof because it does rain. make sure u have something to keep the wind off as well. their styles are fairly similar to the US, but when i was there this summer leggings were very popular

Why dont you check out some of the high street stores online and get a feel for whats on offer in the shops ie. New Look, Oasis, Ms Selfridge's, Top Shop, River Island etc...

placed on what you will possibly normally placed on, you will fit in advantageous. And in case you experience such as you decide on greater clothing, only make a journey to Penneys, it is your one wide-unfold clothing shops once you get right here, you may get severe-high quality clothing for lifelike/much less costly expenses. Or H&M, New look or River Island. in case you ever come as much as Dublin for the weekend you may save in perpetually 21 too. The term 'black Irish' isn't surely used lots or in any respect in eire via the way.

skinny jeans, dresses over leggings, knee high boots - wedge heels, biker boots. The 80s are back, so petrol blue and purple are in. Coats with belts that nip in the waist. 40s style blouses (light, lacy things) pencil skirts. Metalic colour shoes with round toes.
But primarily, a coat that will keep the rain off, abercrombie sweats, anything casual from the Gap. Stay warm, stay dry.

clothes are generally the same as anywhere else and they change with the seasons. at the minute deep purple is in as is waistcoats, high waisted jeans etc. you'll see plenty of the styles when you arrive and dont worry this country doesnt care what you wear but remember bring warm clothes !!!

Ireland is in Europe so any normal casual clothes are fine, plus some rain proof clothes
