Patriotic Looks You Can Use

red white and blue flag - 4th of july

Independence Day brings its celebratory style, each year. Even though 4th of July fashion is not out of style in the U.S., it reaches its peak of popularity right about now. And you know when there involved how it is — you have to shop fast to get the best pieces.

Whether you’re visiting a barbecue or hitting the parade that was closest, we’ve found you some adorable and Americana pieces. The best part is, all these 4th of July selections are below $40!

4th of July Picnic Outfit

American flat cutout tee shirt

You can’t wear this top that is cutout if you want coverage, but it does get style for being clever, cred! Pop this entertaining, American apartment cut t-shirt ($16) over your bralette for a picnic, or use it like a cool-girl swim cover-up at the shore. Just don’t forget the sunblock, unless you need a lasting tribute to the flag on your back.

Gap denim bermuda shorts

You may pair the tee shirt with a simple pair of denim bermuda shorts ($25 in GAP). A wash that is lighter includes a relaxed feel picnic.

White Keds

Anchor your blue, white and red ensemble with a crisp, clean pair of Keds. These will be the Champion Originals, for $40.

4th of July Beach Outfit

Blue and white tankini

Blue swimshorts for women

The practical women on the beach will soon be donning the stars and stripes triangle suit, which is obviously a hit the 4th. However, I like a combo for ensemble flexibility. Pick this collection at Target for less than $50 up. Put it from the water, to the court or to the café.

Tough-wearing sandals

Teva Hurricane sandals

You prepared to bring an inexplicable increase if you add in a set of durable sandals in red. At $70, Teva Hurricanes are a tiny splurgy for sandals, but you’ll love wearing them. Keep them around they are fantastic for anything from hikes to exploring.

Patriotic Post-Party

Red and blue striped shirt dress

If you’re reluctant to go full stars-and-stripes of buying a piece for fear, go with an outfit that is Americana-inspired rather. This button-down, ruffle sleeve top dress is stylish and patriotic, due to both red and blue vertical stripes. It’s accessible at Venus.com in XS to 3X for $33.

And, bonus, this dress will work with the Hurricane vases or the white Keds.

Americana Accessories

The essential tote

4th of July tote bag

A bag is needed by every party woman. And this tote is a steal at $15. The rope strap is sturdy and a magnetic button retains your odds’n ends secure inside this bag.

The cool-down towel

Red white and blue microfiber cooling towel

An gathering in July could get sweaty and dizzy. When you pull an American flag cooling towel ($15) from your bag, you are very likely to be the most popular guest in the party. The towel stinks to 30 degrees below average body temperature when you wring it out, get it wet and snap it a few times. Get up to two hours of action that is cooling, then re-soak and snap .

And here’s one final tip for deciding what to wear on the 4th of July: white, red and blue flag patterns generally work best as accessories, paired with a outfit that is more subdued. You just might give your partygoers vertigo, if you go about the stars and stripes.
