With the 4th of July nearly here, folks all across the USA are starting to think about how they’re going to celebrate Independence Day. Whether you’re heading to a beach barbecue, a picnic in the park, or a pool party, here are 20 stylish ideas to inspire you to sport a little red, white, and blue on July 4th.
By the way, I have a secret to share – my birthday is on the 4th of July. Ironically, when I was young, I wanted to wear anything but red, white, and blue on July 4th. Well, over the years, that sentiment has changed. But instead of going all-out in starts and stripes, I now prefer an understated, patriotic-inspired look (like the 20 stylish pieces below), including my personal fave – stripes.
