The 4th of July is a simple holiday. Everything is doused with red, white and blue or stars and stripes galore and fireworks light up the sky at night! This holiday is the chance to show off our finest reds, whites and blues while celebrating good ‘ole America.
Here are some suggestions for styling the perfect Independence Day look along with some outfits you might want to steal!
1. Use Accessories!
Rather than wearing a red shirt, blue pants and white shoes (or some kind of tri-color combo), try subtly adding pops of patriotic color using your accessories. Maybe your white shorts and blouse can pop with a red and navy clutch. Perhaps you want to just throw on an American Flag headband! This ideas is are some of the easiest ways to show some subtle pops of patriotism.

2. Use Make-Up!
I’m not suggesting you do a blue smokey eye with red lips and stars on your cheeks. That’s a little overboard unless you’re totally going for an Avant Garde look. I’m suggesting maybe adding a little bit of blue liner or maybe some bold red lips.
We LOVE this super wearable 4th of July beauty look from KathleenLights. She uses red, white and blue colors in subtle ways to make a look that could easily be worn any day of the year.
3. Wear A Patriotic Tee!
The key to wearing an American Flag or patriotic shirt is how you style it. If you’re wearing a super patriotic shirt, you might want to keep your accessories minimal or avoid accessorizing with too much red, white and blue. There are also a lot of unconventional Americana shirts that can top off the perfect 4th of July look!

4. Try a solid dress!
