The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays in the summertime! I love getting to spend it outdoors with friends having a cookout in the sun and getting to watch fireworks. This year will be extra fun with the holiday being on the weekend, so now there is even more time to celebrate. Every 4th of July, I always look forward to the outfits too. I love getting to mix bright red and bold blue to create fashionable Fourth of July outfit ideas. Whether you are looking for a casual outfit or dressed up, I have over ten different outfits that you will love!

What to Wear on the 4th of July
Striped Set
I love this vest set from Show Me Your Mumu. It’s cute all summer long, but the red stripes are perfect for the Fourth! I’ve been pairing a lot of my dressier outfits lately with these sandal heels from Amazon. They also sell a dark blue and white set as well – that I linked along with the red stripes when you click the picture of my outfit!
Denim Shorts
You can never go wrong with classic denim cutoffs for your 4th of July outfit. Whether you’re attending a backyard barbecue or a beach firework show, shorts are always cute and comfy. A sweatshirt or sweater is so cute when paired with cutoff jeans at night when it gets colder – or if you’re boating and it’s windy! A headband and flats can also make the outfit look so much dressier while still being super comfortable.
Red, White or Blue Swim
American colored one piece swims or bikini sets are a must if you’re spending the holiday at the ocean or lake! If you’re lucky enough to spend the day boating or beaching – or even at a pool party – don’t forget to pair your swimsuit with a cute coverup and accessories. I love finding swimsuits with a matching coverup, like this option on the left from Amazon, because it looks so put together and festive!
Baseball Cap
There are so many style hats that are cute in the summertime, such as baseball hats, cowboy hats, or even trucker hats. An “American” themed or colored cap is such a cute way to tie in the holidays, especially if you’re wearing a fairly simple outfit.
Denim Skirt
Maxi denim skirts and shorter denim skirts – or even skorts – are all such cute options to incorporate if you want subtle 4th of July outfit ideas. I’m such a fan of all 3 of those options and I really don’t think you can ever go wrong with either! My favorite part of a skort, however, is that shorts are built in to them, so they’re super functional! You can pair any of these simple denim options with white tops – or even stripes to be more festive.
Cute Skirt
Wearing a fun skirt is also a comfortable and chic option for independence day. This ruffle gingham one is so adorable and summery, especially. If you’re going for a more elevated look on the 4th – perhaps you’re going to a nice brunch or party – then a skirt option may be perfect for you!
Cowboy Boots
Simple brown or white cowgirl boots are very 4th of July feeling, but you can be even more festive by wearing red or blue western boots. You can wear them so many ways to reflect your personal style!
Linen
Linen is such a summery outfit item that could be worn so many ways on the fourth. If you don’t like to dress too festive for holidays, this look can be super classy and chic. Whether it’s a linen set, a flowy linen top or linen pants, you can make linen a fireworks-worthy moment this year.
Red, White or Blue Athleisure
On the morning of the 4th of July, my family often likes to start the day being active with a hike or walk with some coffee, so I love wearing a cute red white or blue active look. If you’re spending this holiday in the outdoors – or if you’re just wanting to dress comfy and functional – you can wear athleisure too! An athletic dress, romper, or skirt are all such cute options without looking overly casual/sporty.
Platform Flip Flops
Wearing sandals doesn’t have to be boring! Platform flip flops are so functional yet also fabulous. They look so summery and fun whether you’re pairing them with a dress or shorts.
White Dress
A classic white dress is always cute on the 4th, especially if you’re going to a classier celebration. White maxi dresses are especially cute all summer long! You can pair a white dress with wedges or platform sandals – but you can also dress it down with sneakers and other casual accessories, or even with flip flops and a swimsuit underneath.
Classic Denim Jeans
Jeans are always one of my favorite outfit items, and if you’re expecting colder weather – or a colder evening – jeans can be so cute and classy – yet also casual! Depending on what shoes and top you pair with your jeans, you can be as fancy or as casual as you want. The look on the right would be so cute paired with a baseball cap and red sneakers – or a red handbag – for the occasion!
Ballet Flats
I’ve been loving ballet flats lately and I think they’re such a cute option for the 4th, whether they’re white, metallic, or red! I think they’re so cute when they’re worn with a maxi skirt, jeans, or even denim shorts if you style them right.
This year, I am still deciding if I will wear something casual or to go with a more glam Fourth of July outfit. Most importantly, I do know that I am so excited for a fun weekend spent with friends to celebrate the summer!
