St Patrick's Day Shirts: 35 Ideas for Pub Crawls, Groups, Couples and Kids

St Patrick's Day 2027 falls on a Wednesday, 17 March, which means the shirts get worn to work, to the parade and to the pub in one day. Here are 35 ideas, most of them beyond the leprechaun, plus the green that photographs best and the order date.

The green problem

Kelly green shirt, kelly green print: invisible. Use a green shirt with white, gold or cream print, or a cream, black or heather grey shirt with a green print. Two greens (forest and lime) on one shirt read well in daylight.
