While I’m all about rocking red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, it can be hard to look patriotic without resembling a firecracker. Here are some quick tips to keep your fashion game on-point while you celebrate the holiday:
Remix Your Wardrobe Favorites
Who says you need a brand-new outfit to look patriotic? Remix a few of your favorite red, white, and blue pieces to put together a creative new look. I adore how Jess of The Golden Girl Blog rocks this trendy wrap skirt with her favorite coral red sandals for a fresh look on the cheap. Plus, it's perfect for a 4th of July fete.

Pair Prints With Bold Shades
I heart stripes and polka dots with a festive solid. This look from Hallie of Corals and Cognacs matches a vibrant red skirt with a mellower striped shirt. Love!
Play With Patterns
If you’re not into color-blocking your patriotic look, try a bold print to make a summer statement. This maxi dress (featured on Kelly in the City) is perfect for parties and parades. Paired with a white clutch and classic Jack Rogers, you’re ready to set sail on any 4th of July adventures.

Get Festive With a Classic Silhouette
Sometimes, the right shape can make all the difference. Take the classic silhouette of this gorgeous shirt dress from Jenn of Style Charade. It's chic but still festive.
Get a Little Nautical
American style is synonymous with classic nautical looks, so the 4th of July is the perfect excuse to get a little preppy. Grab your favorite sea-inspired pieces in red, white, and blue (as Kelly in the City does here), and get creative mixing and matching textures, patterns, and silhouettes. Oh, and adding a string of pearls definitely won’t hurt, either!

Add a Pop Of Color
Can’t commit to wearing all brights for the holiday? I love these bright patent leather heels (with that adorable bow!) paired with a more subtle denim shirt and classic white jeans. Kelly (of Kelly in the City) looks effortlessly chic and definitely not over-the-top, which is always a win in my book.
See? It’s totally possible to look patriotic-chic for the holiday!
