It’s that time of year again: when you’re supposed to cover yourself up in clovers and “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” buttons with friends all in honor of St. Patrick’s Day!

The retail industry really stepped it up a notch when it comes to this year’s St. Patty’s Day fashion. We have clover ear cuffs, face tattoos, fashionable tees. The list goes on. If you’ve already decided where to go for St. Patrick’s Day, but you still don’t know what to wear—keep reading!

 

Bar Outfit

A good idea is mixing up the festive pieces with the ones you can wear everyday. For example, pair a festive t-shirt with military style jacket, jeans and a comfy pair of sneakers or boots. This can be a casual yet put together bar outfit. Just don’t spill any green beer on yourself.
