July 4th is one of my favorite days of the year. Barbecues, pool parties, fireworks.. it’s peak summer. When planning my outfit, I do like to coordinate with some combination of red, white and blue — but I prefer it to be more subtle and not look like a parade costume.
Here are 5 pieces that can bring the perfect balance to your look.
I would wear these darling little gingham slides from For Love & Lemons with a white dress or matching set.


This ASTR white eyelet set is a blank canvas for any red or blue accessories.
Red is everywhere right now, so you should easily find something that works for you. I love the square neckline and button detail of this linen mini from Sezane.
This Aqua top and skort set have an elevated, nautical vibe that you can wear beyond the 4th.
If you want to rock all the flag colors, this more abstract Faithfull mini dress is a great option.
As the song goes.. baby, you’re a firework! Bring that energy to the party and enjoy the holiday week.
