I love, love, love the 4th of July! It is a great day of unity and appreciation of the freedom we are able to have here in America. When you think of the 4th of July of course you think of red,white and blue and stripes and stars. However, I am telling you now don’t try to wear all of those at once. Some people get too literal with showing pride for America through clothing and make it very cheesy. There are great ways to show American pride through your clothing in a stylish fashion-forward way, let me show you how!

First pick one main color. Choose one color and accent it with your accessories. If you are going to be active participating in sports activities, an amusement park, carnival or swimming etc. I would opt to wear shorts. If you are going to be having a more relaxed day than you can wear something more dressy like a dress.
