It isn't always easy being green (as evidenced by the model to the right), but St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, so you'd better check your closet now and see what you have to wear. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Nothing, you say? Nothing green at all! Oh, dear!

Well, don't sweat it. Even if green isn't your color, you have to wear something in that hue on March 17, and I've got looks for ladies and fellas and even a few little tykes. As long as you've followed our rules, these items should work well for you. The main thing that I must stress is this: If you wouldn't wear it on any other day, don't wear it for the holiday. If you hate green and never wear it, don't go out in a green dress. Instead, find some accessories, like jewelry or a scarf in your hair, that will ward off the pinchies without sacrificing your personal style.

But please, unless you actually are Irish (and, even if you are), avoid the "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" tees unless you find something incredibly clever. It's just so cliche.
