The 4th of July is right around the corner and the upcoming weekend has me thinking about what I am going to wear this year for the celebration of America. While there are tons of red, white and blue items you can pick up at just about any store, I prefer to wear subtle blues, whites and pops of red. Being just left of preppy, I gravitate towards more feminine touches and a slight nod to America for the 4th of July. White, blue and red are a classic combination and any of these items are guaranteed to come back for a repeat appearance this summer.
I put together two looks to provide some 4th of July inspiration that will fulfill your party's dress code while not compromising your personal sense of style. Let me know if you like them in the comments below!
Outfit Details - Surfside
If you are spending the weekend at the beach or lakeside, keep it casual with a classic striped shirt and denim shorts, two items most of us probably already have in our closets. Some bold shades and a patterned bag add some personality to the simple top and shorts. A swipe of red lipstick brings in red for the holiday and enhances a suntan.
DB Sunglasses - Valley Eyewear
Striped Top - J.Crew (similar alternative option)
Boyfriend Jeans - Current Elliot
Naguisa Fusa Espadrilles - Anthropologie
Outfit Details - Turfside
If you'll be residing in the city this year, wear your red, white and blue in a less obvious and more sophisticated way. A easy-fitting blue striped dress and red jacquard scarf are comfortable while still looking festive. I love the texture of these pom-pom sandals and how the clean white bag balances out the patterns in the other items.
