And Striped All Over
Unlike a lot of 4th of July outfits that scream "music festival," this casual buttoned dress is suitable to wear all year long. We love the low-key, simple style of the dress paired with big, bold bangles that add some sass to the sweetness of the rest of the look.

Swim Fan
We love this totally modern take on the standard Fourth of July swimwear that usually consists of a red-and-white striped bikini bottom and blue-and-white star-spangled top. The bold vertical stripes on this clean-cut one piece make it stand out in a crowd and lend it an air of sophistication.

Vintage Style
Taylor Swift's legendary Fourth of July parties are basically a tutorial in how to wear classy, patriotic 4th of July outfits. We think it's because Taylor has cracked the code on the red, white and blue color combo with her traditional cherry red lipstick, blue and white stripes and red accessories. A vintage skater dress gives her cute 1950's look.

Varsity Blues (and Red and White!)
For a casual and cozy fourth, pair loose-fitting dark blue jeans with a classic varsity-style cardigan. January Jones makes this look especially amazing by combining it with a tomato red crop top.

White Hot
This outfit combines classic short shorts with a men's style button down to create a fresh, sexy take on the traditional knotted top. Textured shorts, a delicate gold purse and chunky men's watch elevate this ensemble from pretty to pretty stylish.

Rebel, Rebel
American flag fashion looks patriotic and pretty when worn as a headscarf. The contrast created when worn on loose, flowing waves creates a romantic flower child aura. This is one of the most stylish 4th of July outfits to wear for a beach BBQ or drinks on the patio.

Patriotic Punk
Whimsical oversized stars paired up with a classic striped crop top to make this look cute, sexy and festive. We especially love the rock and roll vibe the spiky jewelry gives this outfit.

Just a Little Nautical
We love that this pleated skirt and button down combo is incredibly fireworks-worthy while also providing protection from the sun. The knee-length skirt combined with a long-sleeved cropped blazer still looks summer sexy when paired with nude high heels and matching tote.
