Feeling GreenHave you ever wondered why a leprechaun dresses in green? Well, originally the Irish fairies dressed in crimson like their cousins the far darrig and clurichaun. It made sense for a time because all 3 cousins were of a solitary type and full of mischief-making schemes. Dressing in similar fashion, kept them easy to relate. But the far darrigs got nasty with their tricks, swapping babies for changelings or making peaceful sleeps terrible with gruesome nightmares. And the clurichaun cousins took their love of the party too seriously until they became a sodden mess instead of a playful prankster. So, after too many years being tied to the lot and feeling sick about the comparisons, leprechauns decided to distinguish themselves with a fancy new look! Instead of red as a warning, green suggested leprechauns were of a calmer nature. And though the trickster fairies didnt quit their mischief, the choice definitely made them standout amongst other wee folk!Fun DetailsCelebrate the worlds favorite mischief-makers in style with your own Lucky Leprechaun Costume.
