Not I – I never do. I’m wearing black jeans, a black and white checked shirt, and a charcoal gray cashmere sweater (which I got for $2 in a thrift store). Oh, and black sneakers with a white racing stripe, and white socks. ---

It didn’t occur to me to do so when I was getting dressed, so it’s pure chance that I’m wearing a green shirt. ---

I’m wearing the work safe one right now, but when I head out I’ll don my less than work safe shirt and go out looking for trouble 😉 ---

Oops, I forgot. Saw your thread and got changed, because I know one co-worker who will probably pinch me if I’m not wearing green. It’s just easier this way. ---

I’m wearing green, but I’m a redhead, so green’s a major component of my wardrobe anyway. Daniel ---

All my green stuff is currently in the wash. :smack: ☹ ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > It didn’t occur to me to do so when I was getting dressed, so it’s pure chance that I’m wearing a green shirt. Word for word what I was planning to write, except I would have added “Kelly” to “green.” It’s the shirt that I wore for an hour or two on Tuesday, and it was on the back of my chair this morning. ---

I am! I’m wearing a sleeveless green (olive) v-neck top under a cream uncut corduroy blazer, jeans, and matching necklace. I think there’s only one person in our office today who’s not wearing green. I won’t pinch her. Plus, one of my co-workers made shamrock-shaped cookies with green icing! Yum! ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > It didn’t occur to me to do so when I was getting dressed, so it’s pure chance that I’m wearing a green shirt. Me too. It’s polar fleece and very warm. Other than that, I usually make it a point NOT to wear Green on St. Patrick’s Day. ---

I am not doing so right now, but will later when I go out. ---

I am! I really like this shirt anyway, so I made sure it was clean for today. It’s a bright, almost lime-y green V-neck T-shirt. ---

I didn’t realize it was an option to not wear green today. 😉 I have a green Polo shirt on. Have a Happy St. Patty’s Day. Jim ---

I don’t own anything green but I bought some green nail polish and will be doing my nails before I go to work. ---

Are you kidding? With a wife named Eileen? She didn’t give me an option this morning. I came out of the shower to find she’d laid out my clothes for the day (not a typical occurance). So, yes, my shirt is green. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > Me too. It’s polar fleece and very warm. Other than that, I usually make it a point NOT to wear Green on St. Patrick’s Day. Me too. However, some unbearably chipper person has inexplicably come to inhabit my body today and thought, “Oh, won’t it be fun to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day!” Don’t worry, she’ll be gone tomorrow. ---

I plan to wear my only green t-shirt. It states “I’m a Sucker for an Italian Boy!” in white lettering. (That shirt’s my own personal inside joke. My husband is half Sicilian.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-wearing-green-today/348747.md?page=2)
