Men’s Style Guide | Saint Patrick’s Day Outfit Ideas 2017

This is without a doubt one of the best celebrations in Toronto. It is a great opportunity to not only drink green beer and have a pint of Guinness, but to be with friends and run the town for a night. Generally, the theme for attire is simple – wear green! It sounds like an easy colour to wear, but it does take time to come up with a few ideas. Last year I went bar to bar and met great people with different types of outfits to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Below are some of my top ideas when it comes to green shirts, pants and shoes. Take a look!

Green Converse

St. Patrick’s Day is on a Friday night. Right after work, you are going to be heading to the first bar you see, correct? Why not make it easy for you and wear a pair of green shoes. Green loafers or Converse that goes with a casual Friday work outfit is perfect to celebrate this event! They are extremely comfortable and will help you survive the night as you roam the streets looking for the next green beer to drink.


Wool Flat Cap

Instead of wearing your typical big green St. Patrick’s Day hat made for tourists, why don’t you go for something more subtle, more traditional perhaps? My boyfriend’s best friend wore this cap one day and at first, it was not a look that I would prefer. My first view on the hat was it was meant for the older generation but now that I look back, I think it is perfect. It represents Irish heritage and could become an upcoming trend over the coming years. If our friend can rock it on a day to day basis, why wouldn’t you be able to wear it for one night of the year?


Green Cardigan

If you go to Eaton Center within the next few days, guaranteed you will be able to find a reasonable green cardigan on sale. From H&M to The Bay, look for a classic cardigan in nothing but green. It is perfect to wear to work, especially because the celebration is landing on a Friday. I will warn you though, it is more of a bold move! However if there was any day you would get away with it, it is this day! But be wary – you will not be able to get away with this if you are wearing dress pants. Wear dark denim jeans with a white dress shirt and you are good to go.


St. Patrick Day Scarves

Usually I like to stay away from the bright tourist outfits, but the Ireland Football scarves are PERFECT for a night out. If the Irish are anything, they are proud individuals, and what European is not proud of their football team? If you happen to be in Europe, these scarves would go for about €10, but if that trip is not happening anytime soon then buying this online is your best option. Check it out at this website as they are selling for $25 USD. I am sure you will be getting multiple compliments if you rock this scarf on Friday!

No matter what the celebration or what day of the week it is, there is always a reason to dress up. Green is almost never my top pick, but with St. Patrick’s Day, it is a great time to have fun with fashion and try something new.
