There’s Still Time To Order These Hilarious St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirts

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day. It’s the one day of the year when it’s perfectly acceptable — nay, encouraged — to act like a drunken fool. Unlike other holidays, dressing up on Saint Paddy’s is practically mandatory: show up at your school or work without sporting anything green and you’re likely to receive a few pinches (and maybe a noogie or two). Fortunately, because having the right attire is so important, there are tons of great St. Patrick’s Day shirts you can order online.

Sure, you’re cutting it a bit close. St. Patrick’s Day 2021 takes place on Wednesday, March 17, but thanks to the modern miracle that is Amazon Prime, you can order these green t-shirts today and have them arrive just in time to start day drinking on Wednesday.

Though this year’s St. Patrick’s Day is going to look a little bit different than St. Patrick’s Days of years past, with some COVID restrictions lifting around the country, we’re sure you can figure out a solid way to spend the lucky holiday this year. From socially-distanced backyard BBQs to outdoor tables with friends at a local pub, you’re going to need to dress up. A little effort never killed anybody — especially during a pandemic.

From cute and cuddly shirts to NSFW options and a few historical references thrown in for good measure, we’ve gathered up eight of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day shirts for men. Now you don’t have to scramble to put on something green at the last minute. And while you’re preparing for St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget to pick up some quality Irish whiskey for your celebrations. Outside of green beer, nothing says Saint Paddy’s like a shot of Jameson.
