Cookouts, family, friends, sun and fun—The 4^th of July is a favorite summer holiday of mine. There’s nothing like gathering together and taking a break from all of the summer chaos. As you plan your outings, check out some lovely American pride outfits for your festivities.

Spending your day at by the pool? Grab your American themed bikini and you will be good to go. If you don’t happen to have a flag suit, then mix and match red or blue tops with white bottoms. The jean shorts below are an easy DIY project. You can find the instructions on the Free People blog. Throw a crochet top over your suit for your arrival look. Tie your look together with the perfect summer hairdo .

If you find that your cookout won’t be poolside this year, check out these looks. Crop tops and shorts will ensure that the sweltering summer heat won’t be an issue. Keeping with the Americana look, dare to mix red, white, and blue throughout your outfit and accessories. These outfits will easily flow into the nighttime festivities full of sparklers and fireworks.

If you find yourself celebrating our nation’s Independence Day later in the evening, you can skip the shorts and bathing suits, but not the prideful fashion! Aim for a red, white, or blue dress and some cowboy boots. Cowboy boots are fun accessories that seem to put everyone in the American spirit. Adorn your look with some classy jewelry and head off to your 4^th of July dinner and fireworks get-together at a friend’s house.

So, whether you find yourself at the pool or celebrating after a day at work, rock some of these festive and fabulous 4^th of July fashions.
