St. Patrick’s Day is known for many traditions, such as shamrocks, leprechauns, parties, parades, lots of flowing pints, and, of course, green.  What it is not known for is romance, love and certainly not lingerie.  But who says Valentine’s Day gets the corner on the market for love and romance?  Sure, it’s all about hearts and red, but why shouldn’t St. Patty’s Day be allowed some fun?  Well, I certainly think so, and I’m here today to share with you some “green” ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with lingerie.

Shirley of Hollywood Sheer Silk Shirt

When you think of green and St. Patrick’s Day, we usually think of wearing green clothing either as a symbol of the shamrock or to avoid being pinched (both traditions created in the United States).  So let’s begin with some great green lingerie choices.  A very popular pick is the Shirley of Hollywood Sheer Silk Shirt (30075) and matching thong (30080).  This dynamic duo comes in a variety of colors, but the shimmery, sheer green is extra enticing and definitely not run of the mill.  Or for a more casual look, try the Cosabella Talco Long V-Neck Camisole and Thong (1931 & 06z). Fun, flirty and perfect under your St. Patty’s Day attire.

Corsets are an unexpected treat for any day (or night).  Try the Victorian Lace Bustier and Thong Set by Carrie Amber (9103).  The all-over lace overlay and eyelash lace trim are both sophisticated and coquettish.  Or check out the Tesa Textured Corset from Escante (91035) featuring shimmering textured satin and a zip front.  So elegant, you could wear it with velvet or satin pants and a jacket, or put on some jeans and head to the pub for a pint.

If you’re not into wearing the color green, you may want to think about wearing something from designer Mary Green instead.  Mary Green is a fabulous lingerie designer out of California whose specialty is silk.  She has the most luxurious silk intimate apparel.  From long gowns and robes (the 40’s collections are always fabulous) to chemises and soft, comfortable panties and thongs, every piece is beautifully designed and comfortable to wear.  And don’t forget the man in your life.  For him, there is Mansilk – luxurious silk boxers in manly colors.

Hanky Panky Signature Lace Low Rise Thong in Sour Apple

For the eco-minded, there are “green” lingerie companies, businesses who care as much about our planet and its people as they do about their products.  Hanky Panky is one such business.  They make every effort to be environmentally responsible, whether it’s in the workplace or in creating their product.  Hanky Panky donates 100% of their fabric fallout to arts and crafts groups; installed filters for their tap water instead of using water coolers; purchase only 100% recycled paper for office use and utilize 100% recycled paper and board in their packaging.  All this AND they manufacture the World’s Most Comfortable Thong® (and it comes in green, too), plus an entire line of stretch lace undergarments that gently hug your every curve and feel like you’re ala natural.  Yes, green truly is their favorite color.

Finally, if you’d like to save a little green, then think about these fabulous deals.  If you’re in the Denver area, stop by Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie store and check out the wall of $25.00 bras and coordinating $10.00 panties or thongs.  Great lingerie at super great prices!  If Denver’s not within driving distance, sneak a peek at the sale items online.  Fabulous designers and gorgeous selections with more choices than your little heart can desire or your wallet can believe.

As you make your plans for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, remember it’s more than just corn beef and cabbage, a leprechaun’s pot of gold or drinking green beer.  Don’t forget about how you’ll be “wearin’ the green.”  After the last pint is done and you head home with your sweetheart, surprise them with an extra dose of Ireland.  Show them how you “get your Irish on.”  Who knows?  We might just start a whole new St. Patrick’s Day tradition. . . Erin go Bragh!
