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!
