As one of Ireland's 'male fashion personalities', I am often involved in a variety of fun and different fashion projects across the country. This means that I am up-to-date and 'in the know' when it comes to understanding what Irish men are wearing.
From farmers to bankers, indie guys who sit on the steps of Clement & Pekoe to posh country folk, the men of Ireland all fall into a distinct category - whether they know it or not.
Ladies, this test is not aimed at the men themselves to take; it's for you to discover what type of Irish fashion guy you are dating. If you are unhappy with the category your beau falls into, be prepared for the all-important, 'you have no fashion sense' talk. When facing a problem like this, I recommend you always come adorned with the solution; in this case, the solution is a car trunk full of stylish clothes you have hand picked for your man.
OR perhaps you are simply just fed up with being a fierce fashion bitch and need your man to keep up? I mean fair is fair. If this is the case, please feel free to use this test as a kick up the arse to show your man which category he (unfortunately) falls into.
So without further ado, let's find out which type of Irish fashion man you are dating. Choose which answer is most relevant to your guy and take a note of the letter (a, b, c etc.) each time. Here we go!
