The holiday is just around the corner and from picnic to fireworks, we’ve got 10 great outfits that look stylish, not over-festive
The fourth of July is back, with big parades, community fireworks and all kinds of get togethers from small family gatherings to large groups. All of us are ready to get out and celebrate!
That said, our intrepid fashion editors are once again offering up some fantastic outfits that will have you looking stylishly festive for your holiday.
So let’s get started!
WE’LL BE THERE SHORTLY
Most of us spend our daytime on the fourth in the outside. Hot temps, lots of fun activities…it’s no wonder that shorts are the most popular clothing item. So here’s our take on some great short combos you’ll love…
The fireworks aren’t the only thing that’ll sparkle this fourth. Windsor’s lace up crop top in bright red is perfectly matched with this season’s Joe’s Jeans x Stephanie Gottlieb’s fantastic Ozzie shorts. More bling? Yes, please! Zenni’s cherry red, cat eye shades are peppered with dozens of micro-rhinestones. And speaking of stones, we finish this look with BP’s multi-beaded slides and Glaze Jewelry’s bursting star dangles.

For this next fit, we channel a little nautical with this blue and white striped romper. Comfy combed cotton and easy sizing will keep you cool as the temperature soar. With such a great one-and-done piece, all that’s truly left is to add in some complementary pops of color. In this case we’re craving the combo of M. Gemi’s fun flatform, Zenni’s ruby-rimmed browlines and Dagne Dover’s grab-n-go mini backpack. Still, we just couldn’t help ourselves when it comes to adding some ice on a hot day and so we finish this fit with Gem & Harmony’s blue and white diamond hoops.

Keeping things patriotically playful, we add Dooney & Bourke’s red and white striped crossbody and Blenders new addition to their Meister X2 collection, the United We Blend sunnies. All that’s left is to layer some pieces from Kendra Scott. We chose her Greta Y Necklace and the Bailey chunky chain.

INSPIRED DRESSING
Prefer a summer dress for your holiday? We’ve got looks that’ll show your stars and stripes without making you look like you took the flag and turned it into a maxi dress (unless that’s your thing, in which case – go for it!).
For our first fit we chose this soft, denim blue mini sundress from Windsor. We love how flirty and playful it looks, and with its open back, it’s sure to keep you cool. We’ve paired it with a darling double layer necklace from Americana that sports a pearl seed choker with red and blue seed flowers and a flag-inspired butterfly. Speaking of flags, these red and white striped slides from Beek are definitely giving off some Old Glory vibes. Bonus, they’re made of ergonomic foam, giving you comfort as you step. All that is left is to slide on a pair of dreamy, mirror-polished aviators from Blenders.
