The best St. Patrick’s Day outfits to avoid getting pinched
Getting accused of having no holiday spirit isn’t the worst thing in the world, but you can come off like a drag to friends, family and co-workers if you don’t at least try. Wearing green is practically a must on St. Patrick’s Day, especially if you want to avoid getting a nasty — albeit playful — pinch from those in disapproval of your lack of cheer.
In this article: Viishow Women’s Short-Sleeve Loose Plain Maxi Dress, Korsis Women’s Summer Casual T-shirt Dress and Milano Moda Men’s Long-Sleeve Dress Shirt.
What to wear on St. Patrick’s Day
What you wear on St. Patrick’s Day depends entirely on where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing. For those who want to keep things casual and hit the local bar with friends, a simple outfit consisting of jeans, a T-shirt or a sweater is acceptable, while women can opt for a T-shirt dress or a crop top if the weather is mild. However, if you want a more sophisticated look, a button-up shirt and a trench or pea coat are excellent choices and will keep you warm if you’ll spend a lot of time outdoors.
