Sparklers, hot dogs, and automatic OOO email response; three things that would otherwise be unrelated had they not been bound together by the Fourth of July holiday. Year after year during the height of summer, we’re reminded to go deep into our closets to find past one-time-wears branded by stars, stripes, and the ever-classic red, white, and blue color combination. However, if your style has since evolved to be more subtle than the annual Old Navy Fourth of July tee shirts, it can be difficult to find an outfit that feels patriotic without being tacky.
This Fourth of July, forget what you know about dressing for a specific day and lean into pieces that can be repeated again and again, yet still feel festive enough for whatever backyard barbeque or beach day you have planned. Below, find our styling suggestions to help you have your most refined, confident, and fashionable Fourth yet.

Casual Cowgirl:
What’s more quintessentially Americana than a cowgirl? There’s nothing like a good pair of boots, trucks, and lots of denim to get you in the mood for a holiday as ‘USA’ as the Fourth of July. Taking a modern spin on a traditional cowgirl-inspired look, use on-trend cuts and styles when compiling your outfit. Pairing a vintage-looking oversized Ford Bronco tee ($40) from Abercrombie that hits right at the waist with this micro-mini Agolde denim skirt ($168) creates a perfect balance of feminine and masculine. For accessories, red hot cowgirl boots ($255) are an absolute must, along with these gorgeous dangling earrings ($38) with hints of navy blue accents.

Quiet Luxury Takes The Fourth:
While “quiet luxury” has been generating buzz in the world of fashion, the phrase “money talks, wealth whispers” becomes even more prevalent in style trends. To carry the appearance of subtle elegance through this holiday, reach for pieces that are timeless and sleek. The iconic flag crewneck ($398) from Ralph Lauren comes to mind as a closet staple that will stand the test of time and couldn’t be more perfect for a holiday that celebrates the subject on your chest. To keep the look cohesive, pair it with fitted white jeans ($128) and some soft red mules ($142). Lastly, use this raffia clutch ($595) from Mansur Gavriel to tie everything together and keep your belongings close by.

Catch Me On A Pool Float:
If you’re lucky enough to spend the long weekend near a pool, you’re lucky enough (as the saying goes). To keep the patriotic vibes high as you lounge on a chaise or in the water, a cute bathing suit is vital. I love the pale blue color of this frilly bikini top ($104) and its matching bottoms ($104). Cover up with this breathable crochet mini dress ($144), and have these square-toe flip flops ($34) at the ready for trips to refresh your cocktail of choice.

Patriotic After Hours:
When the holiday is coming to a close and it’s time to get cozy for firework displays and one-too-many smores, slip into something ultra comfy to keep the good times going. LAKE’s newly launched Americana collection couldn’t be better for winding down after an activity-filled fourth. I plan on slipping into the Liberty Stripe Pima Shorts Set ($94) and having a quarter-button pullover ($159) on hand as the temps begin to drop when I’m relaxing by the fire this FOJ. Veja has the perfect white sneakers ($185) to stay on theme through the end of the day, and Los Angeles Apparel’s slouch socks ($14) are so cozy your feet will thank you.
