What are you supposed to wear to avoid attention there?

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 68 points 1 month ago

From my experience, anything you wear has the possibility to be mocked so just roll within it. If it's funny enough buy the instigator a beer.

That's how I had some good nights in Ireland when I was 21, of what I can recall that is. Its a wee bit hazy for some reason.

Something absolutely outrageous like a pink jacket or a boa, a big flashy hat or pants with the cheeks cutout.

No one will say a thing because all the Irish people will be flopping around on the floor having seizures trying to spit out whatever thing they wanted to say.

I think this is unironically the correct answer. If you are blatantly attention-seeking, it kind of robs the Irish person of their ammo.

So basically "Only Gay in the Village" Little Britain cosplay with a hat?

Trying to avoid attention will probably only draw attention
