4th of July Clothes

BBQ Chic: Rocking Bell Bottoms and Crop Tops

If you are looking to be the trendiest person at the BBQ, this outfit is for you. Bell bottoms are the classic fit to low-rise jeans that were all the rage in the 90s and are making a huge comeback in 2024 fashion. You can pair these jeans with anything from graphic tees to a cute button-down. But to keep it festive and trendy, try a bright red cutout crop halter top! If red isn’t your color, a white top combined with a pop of red lipstick is a great way to keep it classy. Don’t forget to complete the look with a pair of heels to make sure you show off those bell bottoms!

4th of July Flair: Corset Tops and Mini-Denim Skirts

It is summer; the sun is out, and it is HOT! So, if you’re not feeling jeans for this 4th of July, that cute corset top can easily be paired with a white mini-denim skirt. Mini skirts are the talk of the town this summer and are the perfect way to be fun and flirty while also keeping it casual. Tie this casual look together by throwing on a pair of red sneakers, and you’re ready to see the night sky light up with fireworks!

Poolside Perfection: Transforming Swimsuits into Stylish Outfits

Planning on making a splash at the pool or beach? This outfit is the way to go. There are so many cute swimsuit trends this summer, including the bikini or the one-piece with cutouts, that would be perfect to wear this 4th of July. But you can’t show up to the party in just a swimsuit! Make your red swimsuit into an outfit by adding an oversized linen shirt and a pair of denim shorts.

 If you want to still stand out even after the shorts come off, add a body chain to your outfit! This accessory is the perfect way to add some bling to a basic swimsuit. They come in so many styles; you are bound to find one that is perfect for you!

Effortless Summer Style: Sundresses for a Fun and Festive Look

Another summer trend is the sundress! This may be the easiest outfit you can do; all you need is a fun dress and some cute shoes. They come in a variety of styles and colors, making the red, white, and blue look effortless. Our favorite is a cute blue dress with some white strappy heels, or you could even find one with stripes! 

Trend Alert: Asymmetrical Shorts and Unique Tops for a Stylish Summer

Have you seen the asymmetrical jeans on TikTok? The button on these jeans is slightly off-centered, which creates a cute V-shaped waistline. They are slowly but surely making their way to stardom… get on top of the trend by trying out these unique jean shorts! Complete this outfit by wearing a cute blue baby tee, white, or red. These trendy tops are available at stores, making them easy to find and wear. However, if you’re feeling risque and have an old bandana lying around, you could simply tie that on to make a cute top! You can also complete this look by adding a pair of embroidered western cowboy boots.

Elegant 4th of July: Jumpsuits, Rompers, and Matching Sets

Looking for a more elegant outfit? Jumpsuits, rompers, and matching sets are the way to go. These simple yet classy pieces have been extremely popular recently and will be sure to have you serving looks this 4th of July. They are easy to wear and style, not to mention comfortable. If you decide to wear a blue romper, a pair of white strappy lace-up heels would be the perfect way to pull the look together while accentuating your legs.

Simple and Patriotic: Casual Flag-Inspired Outfits for the 4th of July

Are none of these outfits calling your name? If you prefer a simple casual look, this one is for you. Simply wear the flag! Most stores during this time of year have fun graphic tees displaying their love for America. Grab one of these along with a pair of your favorite shorts or jeans and you are 4th of July ready!
