It's the luckiest day of the year. Well, not really, but it's one of the most cheerful. St. Patrick's Day is around the corner (March 17th, in case you forgot), and you know what that means. Green everything. Outfits, food, drinks, décor, even the Chicago River—the green knows no bounds. So let's talk about outfits because that seems like a manageable place to start.
But first, when exactly is St. Patrick's Day? It's on a Friday this year, with parties and parades ensuing all weekend long. In celebration of the foremost patron saint of Ireland, the jubilant day is all about festive extravagance, and thus, your outfit must reflect that. From shamrock shirts to Guinness scarves, there's something in theme (and chic) to get you to the St. Paddy's parties in style. As you can expect, most of it's green, but if that's not your color then we've got a few things that are equally festive.
Get in the Irish spirit ahead of time, and find an outfit that you will be proud to wear come the 17th. We've got the 32 best pieces to inspire your St. Patrick's Day look, so take your pick today.
