Shamrock Shirts, Socks, Cardigan & St. Patricks Day Clothing Celebrates Holiday

The Emerald Isles of Ireland seem to beckon with warm and friendly thoughts of spring. Even people without an Irish cell in their DNA are moved to wear shamrocks and drink green beer.

As the saying goes, everyone is Irish on St. Patricks day, March 17th.

Religion, Food, and Myth of the Irish Holiday

Parades, corned beef, and Irish poetry abound. We can expect endless repetition, as well, of Irish-themed movies on TV, such as those about leprechauns – the famous little people of mythical lore who love gold and play tricks to get and keep it.

Here in the Southland, Savannah is best known for its St. Patricks day parade, but New York, Chicago, and other northern cities with large Irish populations set the pace.

If you are longing for shamrock shirts, shamrock socks, and other St. Patricks day clothing, Fashion After 50 has a selection for you.

How to Make Your Own Shamrock Cardigan

But we do have a solution for you. Buy an emerald green cardy and head for a craft store for an iron-on or sew-on appliqué.

If you are good with acrylic paint, you might paint this famous green icon on your sweater.

An stiched-on appliqué has the advantage of being removable, so that you can enjoying wearing your top long after the holiday is passed.

Jewelry, Socks, and Shoe Clips Add Holiday Touch to Your Wardrobe

Shamrock socks are a low-key – almost invisible way – to celebrate the holiday. If you work in an conservative environment, you can hide your touch o’ the Irish. Yet, if anyone asks why you aren’t celebrating, you can life your slack legs to reveal lucky icon.

Shamrock beads, earrings, or a pendant are other splendid ways add a bit of sparkle to your holiday ensemble.

We’ve been kicking around ways to jazz up diabetic shoes for dressy occasions, but this one occasion when any of us might add a shamrock clip-on or removable sticker to our shoes.

A color shoe clip tells the world we’re Irish to our toes – if only for a day.

Party Planning Is Fun With Shamrock-Themed Decorations

Whether you want fine china or paper doilies, you are sure to find something to decorate your home or your work cubicle or office.

So have a ball and say hello to spring in your Irish finery.

Green clothing, even without an iconic shamrock, is always appropriate for this holiday. So enjoy our selection of holiday-appropriate clothing and fashion. And the luck o’the Irish to you.
