Non-tacky patriotic fashions

Tote bag

One of summer’s must-buys is a large, durable tote bag you can take anywhere -- from a pool party to a road trip. No matter what you’re doing this 4th of July, you’ll look fab with this nautical-inspired canvas tote on your arm . The navy and cream canvas bag is anchored by red and white rope handles for a fresh, fun summer look.

Bracelet

Add some bling to your 4th of July ensemble for a subtle but stylish way to look patriotic. We love this multicolor geometric crystal bracelet with sparkly pops of red, blue and white . This eye-catching piece has a sense of playfulness perfect for summer but is elegant enough to wear when the sun goes down.

Dress

There’s no better way to look chic while still staying cool than with a breezy summer dress. For the 4th of July, we found one that’s perfectly patriotic while still maintaining a ton of on-trend seasonal style. Show off your faux glow in this red, white and blue striped tie strap dress with a handkerchief hem and adjustable spaghetti straps .

Cropped top

While this piece might be more heavy-handed in its patriotic inspiration than the others on our list, we still thought this box-cut tank featuring a faded American flag print was pretty cute . We love scoop necks and comfy deep-cut armholes. Pair with high waist denim shorts, oversize sunnies and wedge sandals for a get-noticed 4th of July look.

Scarf

Add some elegance to your 4th of July evening look with this chic raw silk lightweight DSquared2 scarf covered in a contrasting red and blue circular pattern . The simple yet stylish accessory is perfect for adding some interest and a splash of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. Wear with anything from your favorite LBD to a faded T-shirt and denim shorts.

Oversized tee

You can never have too many T-shirts, especially oversize, ultra-comfy ones that you can toss on and know you’ll feel great in. We’re particularly smitten with this red and white striped V-neck tee in an oversize, boxy cut . The loose fit and rounded hem that hangs lower at the back create a look that goes great with skinny denim. Add your favorite flats and a chic tote and you’re ready to celebrate the 4th of July in style.

Swimsuit

If you’re heading to any 4th of July beach parties this year, we have the perfect swimsuit for you. We’ve just added this one-piece star swimsuit to our must-buy list . It’s cute, flattering and offers a fun way to incorporate a patriotic vibe into your look all summer long.
