The Fourth of July is coming up, and whatever your plans may be — whether it’s a backyard barbecue, fireworks show, or pool party with friends — you might feel inclined to wear a version of red, white, and blue. As much as we love being festive and going all out for holidays, we also know that it can be hard to stick to three specific shades — particularly ones that you might not normally wear beyond Independence Day. To help you perfect your Fourth of July outfit with a look that’s not too flashy, we’ve come up with a handful of options for you to wear just in time for the national holiday. From ’90s-themed dyed shorts to pretty striped summer dresses, there are a slew of items in here that nod to Independence Day without screaming America.
Whether you’re attending a cookout, posting up near a body of water, visiting with family and friends, or just staying local and avoiding the crowds, these Fourth of July outfit options can be dressed up or down, all while still paying tribute to the American flag. From dresses to jackets and cheeky denim shorts, keep reading to shop our favorite clothing picks to snag in time for Independence Day.
