Summer days are heating up, which means the Fourth is just around the corner.
This year we’re seeing the return of 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 Eye Candy LA’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 fun pops of red. In this case we’re craving the combo of M. Gemi’s gladiator sandal, Zenni’s ruby-rimmed browlines and this super tasty Mansur Gavriel x Marimekko collab crossbody (from their new season). 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.

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 mirror-polished aviators from Blenders.
