Hi everyone,

I am an American college student who will be visiting Ireland for six weeks this summer as part of an international study program offered through my university.

I am in the midst of deciding what kind of clothing to pack, and while I had planned on wearing casual clothing such as jeans and t-shirts during the daytime hours, I was wondering what would be appropriate attire for going out at night?

I have heard that some pubs enforce a strict dress code, and since I am an avid music lover who plans to fully experience the Irish music scene, I want to ensure that I bring the proper attire.

If I wore a nice shirt, such as a button down blouse, would it be acceptable to wear jeans and dress shoes/boots, or would I need dress pants, too?

Thanks!

Sarah
