These looks are cute for the occasion and will keep you cool if the weather heats up too. Any outdoor get-together will also make get the perfect excuse to jump on this summer's trend of straw bags—and they'll look super stylish with all of these outfits. If you want to bring some glam to the festivities, try out a few of our 4th of July makeup looks with your outfit, too.
Cute 4th of July outfit ideas
1. Something red
A subtle tribute to the American flag, a red dress is the perfect option for a backyard bbq. Pair it with a white button down—another nod to our nation's colors—if the temperature drops slightly when the fireworks start.

2. Gingham
A little gingham goes a long way during the summer. For an Americana look, opt for Reformation's Bea Top in red—it essentially screams "cherry pie."
It will look great with relaxed jeans and a flat sandal. Even better? Reformation is one of the best sustainable fashion brands out there.

5. Crochet tops
Crochet tops for women are a hot topic of interest on TikTok. They give off a retro, 70s-inspired energy that we welcome during the summer.
If you don't have time to whip out the yarn and needles before your get-together, we suggest taking a stroll over to your local H&M.

6. A romper
Need a classy, chic option for your family picnic? A romper is the way to go. It's certainly stylish, but—fair warning—don't expect a terribly easy process when it comes time to go to the bathroom!
