The Fourth of July is always a great reason to spend time with your loved ones and celebrate your love for good ole ‘Merica. Whether you’re heading to a barbecue or beach bonfire or camping out for fireworks, there’s an outfit for every occasion on Independence Day. Up your July 4th style game with a few outfit ideas from your favorite fashion bloggers. With these six easy outfit ideas, you’ll be looking patriotic in no time:

Select a monochrome outfit (in red, white or blue, obviously) that’s perfect for rocking at a barbecue or picnic.

Here’s an outfit that will take a few more pieces to pull off. Style nautical stripes with white outerwear and blue and red accents.

There’s no better way to make a statement on the 4th of July than with a stars-and-stripes bodycon suit that does all the talking. This ensemble works great for celebrating at the beach, so don’t forget to layer on the sunblock!

If you want a similar casual look for the holiday, try starting with a classic patriotic graphic tee, a pair of jeans and white sneakers. It’s comfy and cute—perfect for a barbecue and fireworks.

Red and white stripes are always a go-to pick for celebrating the 4th of July. Steal a page from The Golden Diamonds’s style playbook and pair a crop top with a striped midi skirt. Finish off this look with a star-patterned bag.

Is this not the cutest striped jumpsuit for celebrating the holiday? The best part is that this outfit doesn’t have to be worn exclusively for the 4th of July.

With 100+ degree days on the horizon and vacation plans set, there’s just one thing you haven’t checked off your list … it’s time to complete your summer wardrobe with our newest arrivals! Our Summer Edit features five wardrobe staples sure to make outfit-planning and packing a breeze.  

Retro Stripes

The ultimate summer dress: ruffle bottom, tie-front, and midi length. Our Retro Stripe Dress ($42.50) was made for hot summer nights, and it’s the only dress you’ll need on your vacation.

Fray Hem Denim

We love the added texture and summer vibe a good fray adds to any denim piece. Get the look with our Frayed Hem Denim Dress ($42.50)

Pom-Poms

It’s all about pom-poms this season and we absolutely love them as a hemline accent! Our Pom-Pom Blouse ($32.50) pairs perfectly with our Double Stripe Culottes ($35).

Fit and Flare Romper

Our most flattering romper yet! The fit-and-flare silhouette of our Distorted Grid Print Romper ($28.50) makes it the only romper you’ll need this summer.

These styles and more are available at all Crossroads locations this weekend!

If you had told me years ago that I would be pining to find the perfect matching suit set, I would have thought you were crazy. I lean towards a very relaxed, casual style, and suits traditionally don’t fit into that—a stiff suit is meant for professionals with a strict office dress code, right? Not anymore. A perfectly tailored suit set is perfect for winter and an unexpected outfit choice for holiday parties. For summer, I am loving a relaxed-fit suit in playful proportions, styled more casually with sneakers and graphic tees. I’ve rounded up my favorite ways to style suit sets for summer below!

Shorts & Skirts

Matching suit sets that consist of skirts or shorts will instantly create a more casual look, and they’re perfect to wear during the heat of the summer.

Play with Proportions

Courtney of Always Judging has two classic examples of how to play with proportions while styling a suit. The oversized blazer offsets the bottoms and creates a relaxed look that can be worn for many occasions.

Pair Your Suit with Sneakers

Sneakers and flats are the “it” shoes of the season—possibly of the year—and add an instant chicness to any dressed-down look.

Pattern Play

Patterns make any look more interesting! Try classic stripes or go even bolder with a checkered look.
