With Memorial Day in the rearview mirror, it’s officially time to shift your style focus to the next big summer moment: the 4th of July. Arguably the peak of summer fashion, it’s one of those occasions where you want to bring your A-game, even if you’re just headed to a backyard barbecue. But curating the perfect Independence Day look that’s trendy and casual is no easy task. You want to look put-together without being overdressed, festive without diving headfirst into full-blown Americana. Luckily, this isn’t my first rodeo. I like to think I’ve mastered the art of effortlessly chic dressing, and I’ve done a deep dive into my own closet to put together a handful of 4th of July outfit ideas. Each look is stylish enough for any celebration, yet versatile enough to wear long after the fireworks fade.
