St. Patricks Day costumes – in honor of the Irish patron saint

Green is the color of hope - and above all the predominant color on St. Patrick's Day. Every year on March 17th, all Irish people dress up to honor the first Christian missionary in Ireland. But not only green clothing, but also symbols of luck such as the shamrock or the Irish leprechaun with the orange beard have a special meaning on this day. Even if you are not Irish, you can join the partygoers and slip into one of the St. Patrick's Day costumes from our online shop . But unlike carnival costumes , these costumes have a deeper meaning for all those celebrating.

Everything in green? Order St. Patrick's Day costumes online now

Nowadays, St. Patrick's Day is not only celebrated in Ireland, but in many countries around the world. The Christian missionary Patrick from the 5th century is considered a saint throughout the Roman Catholic Church. The St. Patrick's Day parades in the Irish capital Dublin and in many major cities in the USA are particularly exciting - in Chicago, the Chicago River is even dyed green for this. Although beer also takes on a green tinge on this holiday, the national drink Guinness always remains a dark brown. Take part in a parade or dress up for a theme party with the St. Patrick's Day costumes in our costume shop - from waistcoats, top hats and bow ties to a complete shamrock suit, we have it all.

St. Patrick's Day as Leprechaun Day?

Are you wondering what the leprechaun actually has to do with St. Patrick's Day? Actually, not much, because the idea of the leprechaun as a lucky charm dates back to Celtic times - at that time, Patrick was not even thought of. Nevertheless, Saint Patrick's shamrock and the little green leprechaun's pot of gold have come together over the years. This is also why many Irish people organize a search for the "pot of gold" that the leprechaun hides as a treasure keeper on March 17th after the parade.
