RTÉ Radio 2FM DJ Gerry Ryan on his wardrobe and dressing for work.
Gerry Ryan is a familiar voice heard on weekday mornings in thousands of homes and workplaces across the country. He is not too bothered by what he wears to work. He does have an attachment to a pair of boots given to him by 'The Gay Byrne Show' during a survivalist challenge last year.
Gerry Ryan's preference is for casual attire, which also sends a message to his colleagues,
The way I dress this hour of the day is a barometer for the rest of the staff.
A favourite item of clothing is a long coat worn while out walking, his preferred form of exercise,
I like going for walks to escape from the mausoleum in which I work.
