If you don't have big plans for St. Patrick's Day, you can still get into the spirit with a casual look. Put together a neutral white, grey, or beige T-shirt paired with your favorite denim shorts, skirt or jeans, classic sneakers, and a shamrock shade of green for accessories like jewelry, scarves or handbags. Great for celebrating with friends at a party or for a festive pub crawl.

If you work in an office setting and want to dress business chic with some St. Patrick's flair, wear a solid or printed green pencil skirt that is more on the tropical green color palette, with a white button-down tucked in, tied together by a bronze or gold belt and matching pumps. Go a little glitz with statement jewelry.
