4th of July Outfits to Wear for This Year’s Celebration

avatar Kristin

4th of July is my favorite holiday; there is just something about a holiday being in the middle of the summer with the weather warm and sunny. Most of my life I spent the holiday out on Lake Chatuge in North Georgia. I have many amazing memories of those times, so I think the 4th of July makes me a bit nostalgic for those days. No matter where I’m spending July 4th, I love to wear a patriotic outfit. Today’s post is a collection of seven different outfit ideas to help you rock a festive look this 4th of July.

Outfit #1

I would wear this outfit if I was spending time at the lake or beach. Throwing a linen shirt and denim shorts on over a swimsuit elevates the look without much effort. This would also be a cute outfit for hanging at a beach bar for lunch or drinks.

Outfit #2

This is my go-to look during the summer. These jean shorts pair nicely with any cute blouse or top, no matter the day. I think this bright red top with puff sleeves is very fitting for the 4th of July!

Outfit #3

I am definitely loving the coastal grandma aesthetic that’s popular right now. Blue is a staple color for this wardrobe, so I decided to pair this adorable blue and white flower print top with some denim cutoffs and my Birks. It’s a very soft, girly take on 4th of July!

Outfit #4

This outfit is great for a family get together. These white linen shorts are some of my favorite- I have them in multiple colors! Coupling a graphic tee with the linen shorts creates a casual, laid-back fit perfect for a backyard cookout!

Outfit #5

If I was attending a 4th of July parade or exploring a new town, I would first have to throw on my most comfortable white sneakers. Paired with shorts and a white and red striped top, this look is casual and cute for a fun-filled day.

Outfit #6

Dressing up is perfectly acceptable for the 4th of July. Grabbing drinks with friends or have a date night planned? Or are you like me and just love to wear dresses? This navy wrap dress is the perfect lightweight material for the summer heat.

Outfit #7

I automatically think vacation outfit when I see sets like this one. I previously wore it on a cruise as an outfit, and as a cover up over my swimsuit! It is super versatile. Here, I chose to pair it with a red tank top for a pop of color.

I’m leaning towards wearing outfit #2 next week for the 4th of July. However, all of these pieces are versatile and able to be worn throughout the summer. I will be getting lots of use out of each and every one of these outfits, no matter the day!
