St Patricks Day Fashion: Green Styles

Most St Patricks Day fashion is downright tacky. Green beads, shamrock earrings/boppers/glasses, red beards, these are just a few of the less than elegant green garb. Yep, guilty of wearing a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” T-shirt and a neon green fake eyelashes and green bob-cut wig. It’s fun to go that route, but what about redefining St. Patrick’s Day fashions?

Spotted at Harper’s Bazaar.com, here are some green styles from the runway that won’t have you looking like a loony leprechaun:

ACNE

GUCCI

BURBERRY

MICHAEL KORS
