10 Classy 4th Of July Outfits To Celebrate In Style

For a weekend brunch or a pool party, make sure your cute outfits for the 4th of July weekend are ready to wow!

The Fourth of July is the Independence Day of the United States. The time of year means the celebrations are the best of the summer pool parties, brunches, and for some an excuse to get out of town for a few days.

All these celebrations mean it’s important to find cute 4th of July outfits! People generally choose to wear red, white and blue – either a combination of all, or a monochrome outfit, inspired by the colors of the US flag. 

What might be surprising is that these colors are very popular amongst high-end brands and lend themselves to being styled in a classy and chic way. So most of us likely already have the right pieces to wear for the Fourth of July, but may just need some help styling them to be more elevated. That’s where we come in!

We’ve put together 10 easy red, white and blue outfit ideas for whatever you plan to do this Fourth of July, with styling recommendations if you need a helping hand.

4th Of July Outfits To Recreate

1. Little White Dress

If you struggle to dress for the summer without doing denim shorts and a tank top, you must invest in a good little white dress. Look for natural fabrics like cotton or linen which are breathable, and ensure you won’t feel too hot whilst celebrating.

For accessories, this is a great way to add your red or blue, such as a statement red ballet pump, or a fun pair of denim espadrilles. Whichever you go for, match your bag to this color, or go for something white if one pop of color is experimental enough for you.

2. Fun Red Blouse

Having some fun tops in your closet is a great secret weapon for making it look like you’ve dressed up when in actual fact, you’re wearing a comfy top and jeans! The trick is to make sure the color is flattering, as well as the fit – and red is a color which suits pretty much anyone.

For your jeans, straight-leg, light-wash denim is suitable for summer and flattering no matter the shade of red you opt for. If you’re likely to be out the whole day, opt for flats like loafers or ballet flats to make your day of bar hopping easy on your feet.

3. Blue Florals

These blue and white florals are inspired by bone china and are the perfect pattern to wear during the summer. Not only is it more subdued than other floral patterns with multiple colors, but the white and blue makes it perfect to wear for a Fourth of July celebration.

As for your accessories, keep these subdued as the eye is already drawn to the floral print, and so adding a bright red shoe would make this look busy. For a garden or pool party, a pair of wedge espadrilles would work really well here.

4. Striped Shirt

Nothing beats a classic button-down striped shirt. These can be styled for day with a pair of shorts or jeans, and night with a pair of pants, or a fun mini skirt. For the shirt, this could be red or blue, and pairing it with cream or white shorts keeps the look fun and festive for a Fourth of July brunch or party.

If you want to wear heels, but stilettos or heeled sandals are likely to be too uncomfortable to wear the whole day – opt for a pair of platform sandals instead.

5. Blue Maxi Dress

If the Fourth Of July celebration you’re attending is a little more formal, like a daytime gala – a maxi dress will never look out of place. This cornflour blue color has warm undertones, so looks great if you’ve managed to catch a tan during the summer. 

If you’re concerned about the dress looking too formal, pair it with flat sandals in white or tan to blend into the outfit. A great tip is to pair this with a bigger purse as a clutch here will look too evening-y.

6. Little Red Dress

Much like the little white dress, a red dress works perfectly for the Fourth of July, and depending on the style can be styled to be worn year-round. A mini wrap dress works well if you’re just going for casual drinks, or a picnic, and can be dressed up if you’re going out in the evening as it’ll be easy and breezy during the warm summer nights.

You can pair this with ballet flats, or even a pair of white Converse All-Stars which are just about as American as it gets.

7. White Shorts

If your Fourth Of July weekend looks like a boat day, this super chic outfit is the one for you. Shorts are usually disregarded in the world of chic dressing, but really they just need to be styled appropriately. If exposing your legs, it’d be a good idea to wear a long-sleeved shirt or blouse as this keeps the outfit elevated.

Tan brown and white pair together beautifully, and adding a belt helps to break up the colors, and cinches in the waist. This is also a great outfit to wear a swimsuit under if you’re likely to take a dip in the ocean.

8. Classic White Dress

This dress is more of a classic silhouette than we’ve shown before, but it perfectly displays how white dresses can still be worn in the evening with some smart styling. White satin dresses like this can look like nightgowns if not styled correctly, so making sure your hair is styled will go a long way. This is a great opportunity to do a bold red lip if you dare!

As for the shoes, it is finally time to get out your favorite red ballet flats or heels – just make sure you’ve broken them in before wearing them for Fourth of July.

9. Blue Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are a must during the Fourth of July weekend if you’re in college where the parties can get a little…messy. Or they just work as a comfortable thing to wear if you’re going with the flow and want to spend the day bar and food hopping around your city.

You can pair this with a white tank, or a red and white striped t-shirt [if you don’t mind any “where’s Wally” references.] As for accessories, this is the perfect blank canvas for some pops of red, or you can opt for neutrals if you aren’t one for color.

10. Hint of Red

Speaking of color, it’s important to represent the hint of red. Just because it’s the Fourth of July doesn’t mean you must look like a walking US flag. This outfit is the perfect example of having a chic outfit for the celebrations which hints at “red, white and blue” but looks like a well-put-together, elevated outfit rather than a costume.

This outfit would be great for evening drinks followed by a dinner, and maybe an after-party. The beige accessories also help sober down the bright tones of pink and red in the skirt – which make it palatable during the day.
