St. Patrick's Day costumes – in honor of the Irish patron saint
Green is the color of hope—and, above all, the predominant hue on St. Patrick's Day. Every year on March 17, all Irish people dress up to pay homage to the first Christian missionary in Ireland. But it's not just green clothing that holds special significance on this day; lucky symbols like the shamrock or the Irish leprechaun with the orange beard also hold special significance. Even if you're not Irish, you can join the party and slip into one of the St. Patrick's Day costumes from our online shop . But unlike carnival costumes , these disguises hold a deeper meaning for all those celebrating.

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.
