Summer celebration season is in full swing and whether you’re planning a backyard barbeque or a neighborhood block party for your July 4th get-together, we have three words of advice: red, white, and blue. Get your patriotism on while looking stylish and having fun.

Women’s Renaissance Terry Sneaker

Bring your July 4th party style back to the ‘70’s with these super retro (and COMFY!) trainers. These will literally go with any summer outfit, just without the blisters of those strappy shoes you’re still breaking in. Wear these as you stand around celebrating America (but NOT discussing politics) with your party guests.

Grab them at Keds.

The Classic Pool Float

Give your pool float game an upgrade with these classic circular tubes. Tell everyone you pulled them out of your pool house, (even if it was actually just your garage).

Find them at Nordstrom.

Star Spangled Night Acrylic Tumbler

Pick up a few of these festive tumblers to make your signature party drink feel a little more sparkly. It’s 100% acrylic and BPA-free. It also includes a lid and PBA-free straw to go from pool to patio without spilling a drop.

Pick it up at Shutterfly.

The Rosie One Piece

How to stay comfortable and stylish at a pool party probably requires its own blog post, but this one-piece bathing suit would provide a good intro. It’s a square neck, scoop back style that has earned online reviews of “flattering” and “supportive.”

Shop it at Hill House Home.

4th of July Sunglasses (Pack of 6)

Is there anything more fun than slightly kitschy party favors? We think not. Pass around these sunglasses to adults and kids to amp up the patriotic spirit across your backyard.

Grab them on Amazon.

Women’s Relaxed-Fit Ribbed Half Zip Sweater

When your party’s still ragin’ into the wee hours of the night (say, after 7pm), this light summer sweater will protect you from a chill in the evening air. Also available in Plus sizes, it’s made with a cozy and warm soft-touch yarn.

Find it on Amazon.

Yachtsman Code Mallie Dress

We love this stylish summer dress because it’s got that patriotic color palette, WITHOUT making you look like you draped an American flag over your torso. It can be dressed up or down, but definitely makes a statement wherever you go.

Pick it up at Tuckernuck.

 

Starburst Earrings

Wondering what to wear with your red, white, and blue? These starburst earrings provide the perfect firework finale to your ensemble and add a bit of glamor to even your bathing suit coverup and flip-flops. Made of gold-plated brass with pearl accents, they’ll look good by the pool, or when you wear them out to dinner next week.

Get them at Tuckernuck.

The Classic

American style, but make it Francaise! Named for its classic fit, this super-flattering 100% jersey shirt with three-quarter sleeves is a clean, tailored style that could go with khakis or shorts. It’s Audrey Hepburn meets Uncle Sam.

Find it at Kule.
