This St. Paddy’s Day, rock the crowd with green nails. Choose from sparkles, or plain green, this look will complete the rest! Or, for an even more trendy vibe, paint all of your nails white with only the ring fingers green. Or vise Versa! This is an easy way to add green to your outfit and overall look.

It may seem obvious, but a classic staple is to wear black skinny ripped jeans to neutralize the look. You are going to be covered in green, so keeping it simple on the bottom may be a good idea also. One rule of thumb, you can never go wrong with black jeans. Despite the occasion! Plus, almost everyone has these already!

I love the green hair bow for an easy way to accessorize. The green hair bow is one of my favorite accessories. Pull your hair half up, and tie the bow around that, rock the ponytail, or do a side braid and pin it that way. No matter what, this St. Paddy’s day will have you looking fabulous!

You may remember when these sunglasses appeared on almost everyone in middle school. More specifically, the ones with lines on them. HA, turns out they are back. But hey, I have to admit they are an easy way to accessorize during the parade! Not to mention, they keep the sun out of your eyes. Duh!

Depending on where you are in the country, spandex shorts are a classic. In March, where I live, unfortunately it won’t be warm. If we’re lucky, it will be 40 degrees. Yes, this is my sad reality. But regardless, for all you southern belles, rock shorts, girl!

You may be thinking, “what does this have to do with St. Patrick’s day?” Well, a lot of trendy outfits include jean jackets. To complete any outfit for the parade, throw on the classic jean jacket.

Attention all 90’s babes, this is it, the scrunchie is back! While you may think nobody is going to notice your wrist, well, throw it in your hair, like DJ Tanner, from Full House. The scrunchie is a perfect accessory!
