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 this March holiday 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 proper attire is so important, there are tons of great St. Patrick’s Day shirts you can order online.

With March already underway, you’re cutting it a bit close. St. Patrick’s Day 2022 takes place on Thursday, March 17, but thanks to the modern miracle that is Amazon Prime, you can order these St. Patrick’s Day T-shirts today and have them arrive just in time to start day drinking on Thursday (and presumably well into the weekend).

As we gear up to mark the two-year anniversary of the start of the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s St. Patrick’s Day will likely look a little bit different. Thanks to COVID restrictions lifting around the country, there will be plenty of ways to spend the lucky holiday in 2022. Whether hitting a parade or spending time with pals at a local pub, you’re going to need to dress up in your best green gear — or at the very least, a great St. Patrick’s Day tee.

From adorable Star Wars Mandalorian shirts to NSFW options and a few historical references thrown in for good measure, we’ve gathered our favorite St. Patrick’s Day shirts for men.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 (or better, Guinness Draught), nothing says St. Patrick’s quite like a shot of Jameson.
