Footwear
Ireland is rainy year-round, so waterproof shoes are essential. These are the best walking shoes and boots for Ireland, comfortable for long days exploring, hiking coastal trails, and keeping your feet warm and dry.
These were the only shoes I brought along with me! I paired it with long dresses as well as the usual jeans and leggings. It kept my feet warm and dry, especially when it rained. Pretty sure it’s waterproof or at the very least *very* water resistant...

Before my Blundstones, these were the shoes I brought along with me. They’re versatile and waterproof! They have great grip on them, so I wasn’t worried about potentially slipping as it rained. Also, I wore them with dresses, skirts, and the usual hi...

The Cloudrock Low WP: Women's Fast and Light Hiking Shoe
My tried and true!
It’s a little pricey, I know, *BUT* I promise they are worth it.
These are thicker than the regular quarter socks, so more cushion to them. I find that these pair quite well with the Blundstone boots because it keeps my feet in...
Men's Golf Quarter Sock 3-Pack
These are thick as well! but not as thick as the golf ones
Women's Hiking Quarter Sock 3-Pack
I have this! It’s the merino wool version of the other hiking sock.

Comfortable Travel Leggings
Comfort is key for Ireland travel. These high-waisted leggings and versatile basics are ideal for long walking days, travel days, and layering under coats during cooler months.
No seams!! I have about 25 pairs of these—truly my favorite leggings (and company). I love that it’s affordable and lasts for a long time.
Dreamlux High Waisted No Front Seam 25" 7/8 Workout Legging
These are the fleece lined version of the No Seam leggings. It kept me warm without feeling like I was hot wearing them—and trust me, I get hot way too easily 😅 If you run pretty hot like I do, these pass the warmth check.
Fleece Lined No Front Seam 26.5" Thermal Leggings w/ Pockets
Outerwear
Ireland’s weather changes quickly — misty mornings, coastal wind, and chilly evenings are common. I always pack a waterproof rain layer for sudden showers and a classic wool coat for warmth and polished city days. The key to dressing in Ireland is la...
I love that it’s long! I wore this over my wool coat. I could have probably sized down to a large, but the XL worked fine with all the layers I had on.
Weatherproof Rain Trench Coat in True Black
This kept me so warm!! I’m 5’7” and these went right above my knees. It kept me nice and warm, especially when the wind picked up. I got the 2x so I have room to layer without feeling restricted.
It also helps elevate an outfit, easy to dress up or ...
Italian Wool Cocoon Coat - Plus Size in Black
The same coat but in regular size!

Intimates
Supportive, comfortable undergarments make a big difference when you’re walking all day in Ireland. These are my go-to travel basics for comfort, layering, and all-day wear.
No wire, no problemsssss! This bra is so comfortable that it doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing one!
Wire-Free Push-Up Smooth Bra
Great support, feels like I’m wearing a tank top.

Handy to Have
Compact travel essentials make packing for Ireland easier. A quick-dry travel towel and lightweight accessories are perfect for coastal swims, spontaneous adventures, and carry-on travel.
My go-to travel towel!
It’s quick drying and very compact. I use this especially when I go for a swim in the ocean. It also provides decent cover as I change into dry clothes.
Tech Towel - Ocean Fade
I have the Yosemite design. The blanket is great for impromptu picnics (weather permitting), hanging out at the beach, and also provides great cover if you need to change. It’s light & compact as well as water (and sand) repellent.
