Zee Gee Why Cheeky Rider Chambray Romper, $78, nastygal.com
Chambray Romper: There’s nothing more American than denim in every type of garment. This season go for chambray, a lighter, softer material with a denim look. The romper is the ultimate effortless outfit choice. Dress it down with white Converse or pair your romper with red sandals or heels for upscale cookouts.
Free People Bandana Bolo Necklace, $38, freepeople.com
Bandanas: Rosie the Riveter with a twist. Replace your necklaces with a tied bandana to make any outfit look more patriotic. Make a bandana the statement piece of your outfit, pairing it with a simple white top and denim cutoffs.
Madden Girl Beela Red Ankle Strap Heels, $49, lulus.com
Red Heels: Avoid stilettos on this fairly casual holiday. Opt for a chunky heel in a bold red tone to pair with cutoffs, raw hem or white jeans, and dresses. A versatile choice, your shoes can be the standout piece with a simple outfit or pair them with another small red accessory, such as a clutch, that pull the outfit together from head to toe. Whatever you choose, red heels are sure to make your look patriotic.
Premium Crepe Wide Leg Trousers in Blue, $40.38, missguided.com
Wide Leg Pants: This style is perfect for a classier look this weekend. With a loose yet flattering fit, wide leg is the way to go for a summer pant. Try a bold color or pattern to brighten your look like the royal blue style below, or a pinstripe to complete your patriotic look. To avoid losing any height in these pants, pair them with a heel and fitted top.

Graphic Tee: The graphic t-shirt is a classic look for the Fourth of July. This year, add style to the look by pairing a graphic tee with a jean skirt or tucked into white jeans with simple accessories. Instead of an overdone flag print top, choose a more subtle look–a white shirt with bold red or blue lettering, a striped top, etc. Complete the look with Converse, strappy sandals or espadrille flats.
