Seeing Stars — and Lots of Red, White and Blue — for the Fourth of July
This Independence Day, wear your patriotism on your sleeve — or on your legs, waist, wrists, earlobes, and feet —with party-ready, festive and perky, Americana-themed clothing and accessories. Salute the flag with star-covered boyfriend jeans, flirty denim shorts featuring flag prints, or canvas kicks with vintage-feeling stripes. Head for the beach, the park, or the pool in an ensemble that cleverly combines red, white, and blue. And remember to work in some nautical stripes, chambray fabrics, paisley patterns, rope-adorned belts and bracelets, or cheeky polka dots to make your outfit feel playful and coquettish. Just remember that, when building an outfit with starry or striped prints, one garment or accessory should suffice — otherwise you run the risk of looking like an Uncle Sam impersonator (or Apollo Creed before his big fight in Rocky III). Otherwise, have fun and make your born-in-the-USA look be boss — word to Springsteen!
Below, check out some red, white and blue pieces you can mix and match to create a Fourth of July outfit that will set off the fireworks ahead of time!
