21 St. Patrick’s Day Outfits for a Lil’ Leprechaun

We love a good reason to dress up and make memories and that’s what St. Patrick’s Day is for us. For the one day in March, it's fun to deck ourselves in green and get into the fun. For adults, that might mean wearing a green shirt and having some corned beef with soda bread.

For kids, it likely means passing up the corned beef in favor of mac and cheese, setting the all-important leprechaun trap (this year's gonna be the year we catch one, I feel it), and of course, wearing a festive St. Patrick's Day outfit.

But what is a St. Patrick's Day outfit, exactly? Sure, pulling one of the baby's green Christmas outfits from the pile that still hasn't made its way to the attic and calling it a day is totally an option. But for those who want a true St. Patrick's Day look, we've got you covered.

From over-the-top ensembles perfect for a full-blown St. Patrick's Day photo shoot to subtler green options that can be worn all year and by multiple siblings, we've gathered 20 adorable St. Patrick's Day looks for tiny leprechauns. Grab the little lucky charms and pick a favorite for them to wear.

We love this toned down version that swaps black for green but still highlights the fun of the special day with a shamrock. This is gender neutral, too, so it's a great option to give as a gift.

Green is the color of choice for St. Patrick's Day and there are several ways to wear it. We love the plaid in this outfit because it's got that added cuteness to it. Since the plaid is on the shirt, the pants tie into that by using the same pattern on the little bows at the ankles and hair clips, too.
