PRETTYGARDEN Womens Summer Satin Dress
If you want festive looks without buying new pieces, these DIY St Patrick’s Day Outfits are made to be put together from things you already own. Quick craft touches like felt shamrocks, green embellishments, and playful layering turn casual pieces into holiday-ready looks.
These ideas work for brunch with friends, parades, or a cozy night in.
Most projects take under an hour and use basic supplies—fabric paint, iron-on patches, safety pins—so you can personalize color, fabric, and fit for your shape and comfort.
Knit Shamrock Sweater with Jeans
A chunky knit sweater gets an instant holiday lift when you sew or glue a felt shamrock over one shoulder or near the hem. Choose a green wool or cotton-blend sweater in moss, emerald, or mint and pair with high-rise straight-leg jeans for balance. The texture of the knit contrasts nicely with denim, and a cropped hem keeps proportions modern. For warmth, layer a thin thermal underneath. This look is forgiving on most silhouettes—swap boyfriend jeans for a slim leg to highlight your waist.
How to Style This Look
- Sew a layered felt shamrock in a contrasting green or gold thread.
- Add ankle boots and a leather belt to ground the look.
- Roll the sweater sleeves and push jeans to show ankle or socks.
Green Sequin Skater Dress
A short skater dress in green sequins reads festive and playful without being costume-y. Pick a dress with a modest neckline and a gently flared skirt in emerald or kelly green sequins; pair with matte tights to keep the shine balanced. For cooler weather, add a fitted moto jacket or tailored blazer to introduce structure. Choose block heels or Chelsea boots depending on the mood. This style flatters hourglass and pear shapes thanks to the cinched waist and skirt flare; those preferring less sparkle can use appliqué sequins on a simple dress instead.
How to Style This Look
- Pair with black opaque tights and low block heels for evening.
- Add a cropped blazer for a more polished contrast.
- Keep jewelry minimal—small gold hoops or a thin chain.
Plaid Flannel and Leather Boots
A flannel shirt in green tones feels casual and approachable. Button a mid-length flannel over a white tee and tuck into high-waisted black shorts or skinny jeans. Finish with sturdy leather ankle boots and a belt. For a DIY touch, add small shamrock iron-on patches along the cuff or back pocket. Lightweight cotton flannel breathes well, while brushed wool blends are warmer if it’s chilly. This combination suits those who prefer low-effort looks but still want festive color; roll sleeves and leave a couple of buttons undone for relaxed layering.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the front of the flannel into jeans for waist definition.
- Add ankle boots and a braided belt for texture contrast.
- Apply tiny iron-on shamrocks near the hem for a handmade accent.

Velvet Blazer with Tailored Pants
A velvet blazer in deep emerald elevates a simple base. Pair it with high-waisted tailored trousers in charcoal or navy, and a silk camisole or fine-gauge knit underneath. Velvet lends a luxe feel even when combined with simple pieces; choose a slightly structured blazer to define the shoulders and waist. Add loafers or pointed flats for daytime, and swap to heels for after-dark. This ensemble works well for those who want festive color at work events—opt for subtle accessories like a gold brooch or thin chain to keep the look refined.
How to Style This Look
- Balance velvet with matte trousers to avoid overwhelming shine.
- Roll blazer sleeves slightly to reveal cuff details underneath.
DIY Shamrock T-Shirt and Shorts
Turn an old white tee into a holiday piece with a hand-cut shamrock stencil and fabric paint. Use a sponge for a soft, slightly distressed look or iron-on vinyl for crisp edges. Pair the finished tee with denim shorts and green sneakers or canvas shoes. Lightweight cotton tees are ideal for painting because they hold color and wash well. For a wearable variation, place the shamrock off-center near the hem or on the pocket area. This is great for last-minute plans and works for all ages—adjust length and layering for comfort.
How to Style This Look
- Create a layered stencil with two greens for depth when painting.
- Wear with high-rise denim shorts and white canvas sneakers.
- Tuck the tee into the front of shorts for a casual silhouette.
Layered Green Cardigan with Slip
A lightweight satin slip dress layered beneath an oversized knit cardigan creates an interesting contrast between soft shine and cozy texture. Choose a slip in pale mint or deep green and a chunky cardigan in cream or olive for balance. Add ankle-strap sandals for warmer days or tall boots and tights if it’s cooler. Satin slips skim the body and are forgiving, while the oversized cardigan hides hips and adds volume near the top—handy if you prefer a more relaxed shape. Add a thin belt over the cardigan to define your waist if desired.
How to Style This Look
- Wear a delicate camisole under the slip for extra coverage, if wanted.
- Match metallic accessories like a gold bracelet to the satin sheen.
- Tie a slim belt over the cardigan to create a subtle hourglass line.
Emerald Wrap Dress and Heels
A wrap dress in emerald green flatters many figures because the waist tie creates shape and the neckline frames the face. Choose a lightweight jersey or crepe fabric that drapes well without clinging. Length can be midi for a classic look or knee-length for ease of movement. Pair with block heels for steady footing during outdoor events or wedges for uneven ground. Add a narrow belt if you prefer a more structured waist. Simple stud earrings and a clutch complete the look without competing with the color.
How to Style This Look
- Select a dress with a soft inner lining to prevent cling in jersey fabrics.
- Pair with low block heels for parades or long days of standing.
- Add a cropped jacket for extra warmth while keeping the waist visible.
Casual Denim Jacket and Tee
A denim jacket is a neutral base that works with green accents. Layer it over a soft tee in mint or kelly green and pair with black leggings or straight jeans. For a crafty touch, stitch small felt shamrock patches along the collar or add enamel pins for dimension. Denim’s sturdy cotton holds embellishments well. This combination is comfortable for travel and outdoor gatherings, and it adapts to different body types—choose an oversized jacket for a relaxed vibe or a cropped style to emphasize the waist.
How to Style This Look
- Add enamel pins or small felt patches to the jacket lapel for DIY flair.
- Wear with white sneakers for a fresh, casual finish.
- Roll the jacket sleeves to show layered cuff details from your tee.
Faux Leather Skirt and Knit
A faux leather mini or midi skirt paired with a cozy knit in forest green balances edge and warmth. The sheen of the skirt contrasts with the matte texture of wool or alpaca-blend knits. Tuck the front of the sweater into the skirt to create definition, and add tights in colder weather. Choose a high-waisted skirt to lengthen the leg line for petite frames. Finish with combat boots for a tougher look or suede ankle boots for a softer finish. Small DIY details like a stitched shamrock tab at the hem add personality.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the sweater loosely into the skirt to maintain a relaxed silhouette.
- Pair with chunky boots for balance, or heeled boots for polish.
- Add a small stitched patch near the skirt hem for a handmade accent.

Sporty Green Windbreaker Outfit
A lightweight green windbreaker with reflective trim is practical and playful. Layer it over a white performance tee and black joggers for a sporty, comfortable look. Add white trainers and a simple baseball cap with a small shamrock patch for a coordinated theme. Nylon and polyester blends are water-resistant and easy to embellish with iron-on vinyl. This ensemble is perfect for outdoor parades or active plans. For a sleeker silhouette, choose a fitted windbreaker and slim joggers; for a relaxed vibe, go oversized and add chunky sneakers.
How to Style This Look
- Add a small iron-on shamrock to the sleeve or cap for a DIY touch.
- Wear with crisp white trainers to keep the look clean.
- Choose tapered joggers if you want a more streamlined silhouette.
Cable Knit Vest Over Shirt
A cable knit vest layered over a crisp white button-down gives a preppy nod to the holiday without going over the top. Pick a vest in moss or olive green in wool or cotton blend and pair it with straight-leg trousers or a pleated skirt. Roll the shirt sleeves for a relaxed feel and add loafers or oxfords to complete the collegiate-inspired look. Vests help create shape without bulk, making them a great option for those who prefer sleeveless layers. Add a small gold pin or brooch near the collar as a finishing detail.
How to Style This Look
- Choose a slightly oversized shirt for intentional ease under the vest.
- Pair with loafers and classic socks for an academic feel.
- Add a delicate brooch or pin near the vest shoulder for flair.
Green Tulle Midi Skirt Combo
A layered tulle midi skirt in soft green reads festive and feminine. Pair with a fitted rib knit top or a cropped sweater to balance volume. A satin camisole under the tulle keeps the silhouette smooth and comfortable. For footwear, ankle boots or ballet flats keep the look grounded. Tulle can be a fine nylon or a softer cotton-blend—choose multiple fine layers for movement without bulk. This look suits pear and rectangle shapes particularly well; add a structured jacket if you want more shape at the shoulders.
How to Style This Look
- Wear a fitted top tucked into the skirt to define the waistline.
- Layer a camisole under the tulle for comfort and opacity.
- Pair with ankle boots for daytime or strappy sandals for evening.
Cozy Hoodie with Green Accents
A cozy hoodie gets holiday-ready with small sewn patches or embroidered initials in green thread. Start with a neutral hoodie—cream, gray, or black—and add a pocket-sized shamrock or green piping along the hood seam. Pair with leggings or relaxed denim and slip-on sneakers for an easygoing look. French terry and fleece hoodies are warm and handle embellishments well. This casual option works for those prioritizing comfort; choose an oversized hoodie for a relaxed silhouette or a cropped version to show a waistline.
How to Style This Look
- Sew a contrasting felt shamrock near the pocket for a subtle accent.
- Pair with monochrome leggings and slip-on sneakers for comfort.
- Add a beanie in a complementary green shade for chilly days.
Patterned Tights Under Denim Skirt
Add patterned green tights under a denim mini to introduce festive color in a subtle way. Choose tights with small shamrocks, argyle in muted greens, or speckled textures and pair them with a chunky knit or cropped sweater. Denim skirts in mid-wash are versatile and pair well with ankle boots or loafers. Patterned tights draw attention to the legs and elongate when paired with ankle boots. This is a playful option that still feels polished—select opaque tights for warmth or sheer patterned ones for a lighter effect.
How to Style This Look
- Match the dominant green in the tights to a small accessory like a bag or hair clip.
- Wear ankle boots in a neutral tone to extend the leg line.
- Keep the top simple to let the tights be the focal point.
Classic Trench and Green Scarf
A timeless trench coat pairs beautifully with a bright green scarf for a refined look. Choose a lightweight gabardine trench and wrap a silk or wool scarf in kelly or emerald green around the neck for a pop of color. This combination is ideal for transitional weather and works well for work events or a casual lunch. The trench keeps the silhouette long and streamlined; pick a scarf pattern with subtle shamrocks or green plaids for a little holiday nod without being literal.
How to Style This Look
- Tie the scarf in a loose knot to show fabric texture beneath the collar.
- Keep footwear neutral—loafers or heeled boots work well.
- Choose a slim crossbody bag to maintain the coat’s clean lines.
Felt Shamrock Pins on Blazer
Small felt shamrock pins on a neutral blazer create a handcrafted look suitable for offices and gatherings. Cut layered felt shapes in two greens and stitch them together, then attach with a brooch pin. Place them on the lapel or pocket for a subtle accent. A cotton-linen blazer in tan or navy offers contrast and keeps the shamrocks visible. This approach allows you to control scale and placement so the embellishment feels personal rather than costume-y. Pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for cohesive polish.
How to Style This Look
- Create two- or three-layer felt shamrocks for dimension, secured with a brooch pin.
- Place pins on the lapel or near the pocket for symmetry.
- Wear with clean tailored trousers to keep the focus on the pin detail.
Striped Sweater with Cargo Pants
A striped sweater with green accents looks modern when paired with tapered cargo pants. Choose a sweater with narrow green stripes on a cream or navy base, and match with tapered olive cargos and chunky sneakers. The military-inspired cargo balances the preppy stripes for an offbeat combination. Ribbed cotton or merino-blend sweaters provide softness while maintaining shape. This pairing suits rectangular and athletic body types well; add a cropped puffer or vest for extra warmth without losing proportion.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the front of the sweater into the cargo waistband for structure.
- Wear chunky sneakers or combat boots to echo the utilitarian vibe.
- Add a slim belt bag for hands-free convenience and a modern touch.
Emerald Satin Top with Jeans
A satin blouse in emerald paired with mid-rise jeans makes for an approachable yet polished look. Satin’s sheen catches light nicely and contrasts with denim’s matte surface. Tuck the blouse into straight-leg jeans and add a slim belt and pointed flats for a neat finish. For a daytime-friendly version, choose a satin with a subtle matte finish to avoid seeming too dressy. This outfit works for many body types—those preferring less attention at the bust can choose a blouse with a higher neckline and slight gathers instead of a wrap.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the blouse into straight-leg jeans and add a slim leather belt.
- Pair with neutral pointed flats or loafers to keep the look grounded.
- Add delicate gold jewelry that complements the satin sheen.
Plaid Mini Dress with Boots
A plaid mini dress featuring green checks reads playful and can be dressed up or down. Pair it with tall boots or chunky ankle boots depending on the season, and layer a turtleneck underneath if it’s cool. Choose a cotton-blend for breathability or a wool-blend for warmth. The mini length adds youthfulness; those preferring more coverage can wear opaque tights or swap for a midi-length plaid. Add a leather jacket for edge or a long coat for polish. Small sewn-in ribbon bows near the collar can be a charming DIY detail.
How to Style This Look
- Layer a thin turtleneck under the dress for warmth and texture.
- Pair with knee-high boots for a streamlined silhouette.
- Sew small ribbon bows at the neckline for a handcrafted accent.
Green Jumpsuit with Gold Belt
A utility-style or tailored jumpsuit in olive or emerald is a one-piece solution that looks polished with minimal effort. Add a slim gold belt to break the monochrome and introduce a celebratory hint. Pair with block heels or white trainers depending on plans. Fabrics like twill or crepe hold structure; for warmer climates choose lightweight linen blends. Jumpsuits flatter when the waist is defined—choose a belted or tie-waist style if you want more shape. Small DIY details like a sewn-on pocket shamrock can personalize the look without being loud.
How to Style This Look
- Choose a jumpsuit with a defined waist or add a slim belt to create shape.
- Wear with block heels for evening or white trainers for daytime.
- Add a small gold pendant to tie in with the belt accent.
Retro Argyle Sweater and Chinos
An argyle sweater in greens and neutrals brings a retro preppy energy when paired with tapered chinos. Choose a soft wool-blend sweater and neutral chinos in beige, navy, or gray. Roll the chinos at the ankle and add loafers or brogues for a neat finish. For DIY flair, swap one diamond in the argyle pattern with a tiny hand-stitched shamrock in a contrasting thread. This ensemble suits rectangular and pear shapes; adjust sweater fit to be slightly cropped if you want to emphasize the waist. Keep accessories minimal to let the pattern be the focus.
How to Style This Look
- Roll the chinos to show ankle and shoe detail for a modern touch.
- Choose loafers or brogues in a complementary leather tone.
- Hand-stitch a small shamrock in one argyle diamond for subtle holiday detail.
