11 Ways to Wear Green for St. Patrick’s Day Without Looking Cheesy
Mar 17, 2017
Ah, St. Patrick’s Day: With all its fanfare, parades, and crazy traditions (Chicago has ALREADY dyed its river green), it’s no wonder that even those with zero Irish heritage clamor to get in on the fun. There’s one area of celebration that’s a little trickier to master, however; at least if “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” shirts aren’t exactly your thing. Yep, we’re talking St. Patrick’s Day fashion. Primary greens aren’t for everyone, but not to fret — we’ve got you covered. Here are 11 ways you can rock the hue without looking super cheesy.

This floral duster gives you just enough green to not get pinched (is that still a thing?) while maintaining your status as a fashionista.
Madewell Silk Button-Back Tie Tee
Anything but basic, the silk fabric, tie-front, and buttoned-up back of this tee lead to an overall look the site describes as a “party in the front, party in the back situation.” We’re all for it.

If green’s really not your thing, and you can’t seem to get on board, $10 will net you this mint hair glitter for a hint of sheen you can rock in a less obvious — but still totally cool — way. And not to worry: It comes out easily, so you won’t be strobing unnecessarily for days afterward.
