Maybe you don't always think about underwear on St. Patrick's Day. You might be one of those people who only wears green on St. Patrick's Day to avoid getting pinched by the creepy guy in the cubicle next to yours. Unfortunately, green underwear does you no good because he can't see it and he still wants to pinch you, so in order to stop him from pinching you, you'd have to show him your underwear and (to him) that beats pinching you any day of the week.
It's estimated that 95% of non-Irish Americans pretend to be Irish on St. Patrick's day. If you're going to do it right, you'll need some Guinness (or Irish Whiskey) some green clothes and definitely some green underwear. Your alternative is to paint your body green and go to work naked and we both know you're not that Irish.
With that in mind, here are 5 suggestions for what to wear under there this St. Patrick's Day...
1) Cette Dublin Opaque tights (above). Here's something you can actually wear that will keep the creepy guy from pinching you while at the same time avoiding the problem of showing him your underwear. Don't tell me I never did anything for you. They have a matte finish and they'll keep you warm. You can't really get a more Irish name for a pair of tights, either.
2) Elle MacPherson Echo Contour Bra. This is one of those things that you definitely don't want to show the creepy guy, unless you're into teasing the creepy guy in which case you deserve the creepy guy. It has graduated padding for a natural curvy look and the combination of dark green paisley and chartreuse makes for an elegant look on any day of the year. There's also a matching string thong (you've gotta match) and an underwire bra (in case you need a little more support).
3) Scanty Peace Sleep Boxers. For something a little more fun, these comfortable cotton boxers are better than a pot of gold. They're green (bonus) and they're covered with peace signs. I'll admit that they'd be much better if they were covered in shamrocks or leprecauns (hint for next year, Scanty). The waistband contains the Scanty logo and the front is fastened via “flirty” buttons. They're really no different than regular buttons - some people just find buttons flirty in general. Unlike the model shown here, you are allowed to wear a bra with them, though. Just don't sleep in the bra.
4 ) Leigh Bantivoglio Claudia Soiree Jacket. If you're looking to step out for an evening on the town this St. Patrick's Day, then try out the this 100% silk jacket from Leigh Bantivoglio. Now, it's technically sleepwear, but it's awfully elegant and certainly suitable for a night out. I know, you've been told by a certain husband and wife team of lingerie bloggers not to wear your pajamas to the nightclub, but there are exceptions to every rule. It has delicate floral lace details along the edges and a lovely silk self tie ribbon that makes for a fitted silhouette.
5 ) C-In2 Juniper Green Lo No Show Army Trunk. This one's for the guys. This army trunk from C-In2 is made of super soft ribbed cotton. It features a profile enhancing contour pouch (that means it makes his “junk” look bigger) and it's ideal for low rise jeans.
While Christmas and Valentine's Day are the biggest “lingerie holidays”, we're all about spicing things up all the time. In fact, we wish there were more green choices for St. Patrick's Day. For now though, these choices will have to do.
