The Ultimate 4th of July Outfit Guide

It’s time to go red, white, and blue. Cue the fireworks, because we have you covered for the cutest 4th of July outfits. Whether you’re headed to a barbecue, pool party, or a beach bonfire, the only thing that would improve these looks is a hot dog in hand.  

If your plans include potato salad and a picnic table, nothing screams summer barbecue more than a lightweight blue dress like this striped poplin number from Atelier Victoria’s Secret x Altuzarra. More of a shorts and shirt gal? This Poplin Pocketed Shirt Bodysuit is the ultimate hack for never needing to re-tuck your top.  

Your neighbor has a pool? Score. Get ready to make a splash in a blue Bikini made to match the aquatic vibes like this throwback neoprene one from VS Archives Swim. Pair it with a summer staple, like white linen, to up the Americana feel. 

If you’re beach-bound for the big fireworks display, start your day in an ultra-chic white Bikini that is made for lounging in the sand. If you’re more of an active beachgoer, this crochet one-piece will keep it together through a long swim or a game of volleyball. When dusk hits, throw on a matching crochet cover-up like this Beachwear dress so you feel covered, but still super cool. 

No look is complete without a spritz of perfume and a swipe of gloss. Keep it on-theme with a super cherry-forward fragrance like Bombshell Intense. Looking for a patriotic pout? Keep it fresh for summer with a red gloss that makes re-application a breeze—because let’s be real, we’re here for the food, right?
