St Patrick's Day Costumes for Men and Women
Our St Patrick's Day costumes are green from hat to shoe: a leprechaun suit for men with the ginger beard attached to the top hat, a clover-print leprechaun dress for women, a leprechaun piggyback that looks like a leprechaun is carrying you, a plain green Morphsuit for groups, and a green and purple jockey costume for race week. All five are adult costumes, with what is in the pack listed on its product page.

What People Wear for St Patrick's Day
St Patrick's Day is 17 March, and St Patrick's Day fancy dress is mostly about green: a leprechaun outfit, a green top-to-toe suit, a clover print, a green top hat. You do not need to be Irish. One costume covers the parade in the afternoon and the pub at night, and the same green goes out again on a stag do, a hen do or a race day.
Our St Patrick's Day Costume Picks
 |
The Mens Leprechaun Costume packs the whole outfit into one box: green jacket with a shirt insert, so nothing goes underneath, green trousers, green waistcoat, yellow bowtie, buckled belt, and a top hat with the ginger hair and beard already attached. Sized by body measurement in Medium, Large and XL. |
For women, the Womens Sexy Leprechaun Costume pairs a green clover-print dress with a buckled belt, striped knee-high socks and a large green top hat. UK dress size Small (8-10) to X-Large (20-22), and it does hen dos as well as St Patrick's Day. |

Ride into the pub on the Leprechaun Piggyback Costume: one lightweight polyester piece that puts a leprechaun under you, with stuff-your-own legs you pad out with rolled fabric, worn over your own clothes. One size fits most adults; the size chart is in the product images. |
Green from the neck down and the neck up, the Mens Green Morphsuit Costume is a full body suit in a 91% polyester, 9% elastane four-way stretch, with double zips and a fine knit you see and breathe through. Sized by body measurement, height first, from Medium (5'5" to 5'10") to XXL (5'10" to 6'5"). |

Race week and St Patrick's Day land close together, and the Mens Green & Purple Jockey Costume covers both: a zip-front green and purple top, white trousers, matching hat, black goggles and boot covers, all in one box, in Small to XL by your usual clothing size. |
The green suit sits beside orange and white, an Irish flag in three suits, and four more colours on our solid colour Morphsuits page, the rest of the ride-on range is on our piggyback costumes page, and a stag or hen do starts at our stag do and hen do costumes. Every other date, Oktoberfest costumes included, sits on our costume occasions page.
Sizing and Wearing It All Day
Order by the product page's own size guide, because these picks are sized three ways: the leprechaun suit and the Morphsuit by body measurement, the leprechaun dress by UK dress size, the jockey by your usual clothing size. Between sizes, size up. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and what is in the pack matches what is on the page.
Care afterwards is a cold hand wash and an air dry, and both leprechaun product pages say to store the top hat on its own so it keeps its shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you wear for St Patrick's Day if you are not Irish?
Green. A leprechaun costume does it in one pack; a green top hat, a clover print or a green suit over your own clothes does it too. Being Irish is not on the list.
What is a funny St Patrick's Day costume?
The leprechaun piggyback is built for the laugh: it looks like a leprechaun is giving you a lift. The ginger beard attached to the men's leprechaun top hat gets one too, and a group in matching green Morphsuits gets one at parade size.
Are there St Patrick's Day costumes for couples or groups?
Yes. The leprechaun suit and the leprechaun dress make the couple's pair; for a bigger group, mix leprechaun suits and dresses with a piggyback, or put everyone in the same green Morphsuit.
Can I wear a leprechaun costume on a pub crawl all day?
Yes. Ours are 100% polyester, and the men's leprechaun jacket has a shirt insert, so there is no separate shirt to manage between pubs.
Can I wear a jockey costume for St Patrick's Day?
Yes. The Cheltenham Festival runs in mid-March, within days of the 17th, so one green jockey costume covers a race day and St Patrick's Day a few days apart.
Do you sell St Patrick's Day costumes for kids?
The picks on this page are adult costumes. For children, our Kids Green Morphsuit is the green option, the wider range is on our kids costumes page, and all of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.
