5 outfits to bring you luck this St. Patrick’s Day

5 outfits to bring you luck this St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day calls for an outfit that won’t make people throw up, no matter how much green beer they consume. Whether you’re attending a party, a darty or the bars, these five outfit ideas have you covered.

This ensemble centers around the skater skirt — because it’s green, obviously. Add some basics, and you’re ready for St. Patty’s Day. A white halter top and matching baguette bag elevate the look without distracting from the skirt. You can dress down the look with frilly sneakers like this pair for a party, or dress it up with sandals or heels for an upscale bar or event. If you’re hopping from place to place, a versatile outfit like this one is the way to go.

For a slightly edgier look, try a corduroy skirt with a funky top and knee-high boots. The green skirt brings out the green stripes in the top, and the boots pair nicely with the short skirt. The pink earrings and green-gemmed bracelet match the top perfectly, and the purse is just large enough to stuff a mysterious green beverage of your choice into. Plus, if you’re short, the heels on the boots will prevent leprechaun allegations.

This outfit is great for the elegant partygoer who doesn’t have a pot of gold to spend on a new outfit. A green blouse is a must if you want to look chic and stay on theme, and Mary Janes are a great alternative to sneakers if you want to be comfortable but still a little dressed up. The jewelry here is bold, giving the outfit a touch of whimsy.

For a more casual option, go for a light green baby tee to match your BORG, along with blue jeans and some accessories. You can add a little flair with a chunky bracelet like this one and grab a leather purse for all of your partying essentials. Wear this to follow a parade, and, if you get lost, just follow the rainbow.

This is the perfect outfit for going clubbing on St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve got a fancy army-green top, a figure-hugging white denim skirt, a bold purple purse and shoes you can walk across unidentifiable substances in. The sleek gold wristwatch and jewelry make this outfit the perfect combination of sophisticated and party appropriate. Seeing your reflection will give you a boost of confidence when you’re running on empty — just make sure your BORG isn’t.

Like a four-leaf clover, cute clothes are hard to find. If you happen to stumble upon either one of them, you’d better make the most of it.
