The original appearance always attracts and attracts the eye. The more unusual a person looks, the more interest arises in his person. Often people change their appearance themselves to stand out from the crowd. But there are people who do not need to do anything, they are bright and unusual in themselves.
For example, the Irish, whose appearance can definitely be called memorable and non-standard. Of course, we are not talking about all the representatives of Ireland without exception, but about typical carriers of Irish appearance.
Let's go back to the origins
The Irish people (or the Celts) give the general impression of a kind of soulful simpletons, merry fellows and lovers of noisy companies and booze accompanying the festivities.
The Irish are interesting and world famous for their culture. St. Patrick's Day alone is worth something. It is celebrated with joy by residents of various countries. And Irish tunes are lovednumerous fans. Some of them are even seriously interested in Irish culture and call themselves Celtomaniacs.
The Irish, whose appearance description is fully consistent with their lifestyle and habits, are one of the most positive nationalities in the world.
What did Irish men originally look like?
Initially, Celtic men looked somewhat different than modern ones. Traditionally, long hair no lower than the shoulders was considered a sign of a real Celt. They wore them straight, combed towards the back of the head, or they made special weaves, Irish braids. Of course, as in all times, there were Irish people who did not adhere to traditions, their heads were decorated with short haircuts.
The same applied to the beard, someone left it, and someone completely shaved off. The nobility was characterized by shaved cheeks and chin and the presence of a mustache above the upper lip.
Depending on where they lived, the Irish, whose appearance in general and hair color in particular were variable, were proud of their data. Their hair color ranged from very light shades to fiery red. At the same time, the owners of light hair lightened their hair even more with natural means. And the red-haired Irish simply had to enjoy their difference.
The Irish were tall, broad shouldered and athletic. The Celts were very kind to their body and tried to constantly ennoble it.
Over time, as the Celts settled in different regions,typical, pronounced, signs could be somewhat erased due to the creation of interethnic families.
Modern Irish men
Over time, the Irish, whose appearance was originally very pronounced, have somewhat changed.
Familiar blond and red hair is now rather a stereotype. They, of course, are, but literally only a few. Most modern Celts have dark hair and a red beard. But light eyes and freckles are much more common. The faces are narrow in type, one might say sunken. The athletic heroes were replaced by young Irishmen of thin build and average height.
In the manner of dressing and presenting themselves, there are now different Irish people. Appearance (a photo of an Irish man is presented in the article) can be imagined quite clearly, especially if you talk to them personally. More specifically, three types can be distinguished:
- Street boys who don't hold back much. They smoke and often drink. And they can easily stick to a passerby with stupid questions or mockery.
- "Handsome". The Irish, who clearly speak their roots, take care of themselves, have a beautiful figure, stylish clothes and a well-groomed appearance.
- Ordinary guys. These can be found in any country - absolutely unremarkable outwardly personalities, without a special type and distinctive features.
What did Irish women originally look like?
If you go back in time, the beautiful half of the Irish community was describedas follows - long-haired women, and the hair was often much lower than the waist, an incredible, dazzling red color. The hair is very thick, so much so that it was quite difficult for their mistresses to wear it and cope with such we alth. But at the same time, the women themselves looked very impressive - tall and more than large physique. If you do not take into account the incredible length and beauty of the hair, then the Celtic women were very similar to men. And it was not only the appearance, but the real power. Found descriptions read as follows: "Women are able to compete with men in strength, and each can easily fight back even a group of aggressive rivals." Writers defined Irish women as huge, masculine representatives of humanity, with terrible features and a thunderous voice. But, despite such unflattering reviews, the Irish family continued.
Modern Irish women
It's not just Irish men who have changed over the centuries. The woman's appearance has also changed noticeably.
There are two main types of Celtic women:
- Flat broad face with a flat nose. Dark (often black) hair and blue (rarely green) eyes.
- Long face with a long elongated nose, sunken cheeks. Blond hair and light eyes in various shades.
When looking at a modern Irish woman, one does not get the feeling that she is beautiful. Even though the girl looks after herself and is fashionably dressed, it seems that"something is missing". Charm, attractiveness, charisma - this is mostly not about Irish women. It is important to note here that we are talking about standard, average girls who did not resort to the help of plastic surgeons and cosmetologists.
There are practically no skinny people among Irish women. From their great-great-great-and so on grandmothers, modern women have inherited magnificent forms.
And I want to pay special attention to the hair. Celtic contemporaries absolutely do not worry about the appearance on their heads, and artistic "bumps" are the most common option for everyday hairstyles.
Irish national clothes
The Irish, whose appearance is very peculiar, originally wore national clothes, unusual and quite interesting.
The Irish national costume consisted of a long skirt in red or orange shades (in some exceptions, skirts could be dark blue or green) and an elongated light shirt. It fit to the waist, the sleeves reached the hands, the neck was most often rounded with frills around. A bodice was worn over the shirt and a fringed shawl over the shoulders. And a large, most often checkered apron was required for the skirt. Here is such a multi-layered, but certainly beautiful and original outfit worn by the Celts in the early centuries.
For men, the skirt (kilt) was much shorter than the women's, mostly yellow-brown. From above the elongated vest and a light shirt. And a cloth beret was required.
Currently, the clothes of the Irish onlyremotely resembles the costumes of ancestors. Only for family holidays or for any thematic performances, the Irish dress up in national clothes. And basically now they are dressed in the same way as the majority of the world's population. They also follow fashion and try to choose high-quality and stylish things.
The image of the Irishman in cinema and literature
Celts (Irish) are often mentioned in cinema and literary works. Appearance, red hair, characteristic of the nationality, special facial features - these are the nuances that are remembered by the viewer and reader and are used by the authors. You can give the most striking examples of the use of the image of the Irishman in cinema and literature:
- John Ronald Weasley (Ron) from the Harry Potter epic. Probably the most famous of the Irish characters. A typical boy, as the majority of the world's population imagines an Irish child - red hair, freckles, good-natured and open eyes.
- The famous Leprechaun from the film of the same name.
- Red-bearded pirates. Quite often found in both literary and cinematic works.
- And even Princess Fiona from Shrek is just a standard Irish woman in her human form.
Bright and unusual Irish (appearance, photos of which are described and presented in this material) are popular and interesting, and definitely will not leave indifferent a person who communicates with a Celt for the first time. And even without personal contact, Irish men andwomen are able to interest, just look at their photos or an interesting film with Irish images.
