10 Fourth of July Outfits That Are Easy But Festive

It might feel a tad irrelevant to talk about July 4 celebrations given that this year's Independence Day arrives at a time when many of us aren't feeling quite as patriotic about our country. The growing civil rights movement has shed a light on the many racial inequalities that still plague our country today, so it's important to acknowledge the work that still needs to be done before we can truly celebrate our freedom. (Take a look at our handy guide on anti-racist actions you can take.)

That being said, the holiday is right around the corner, so if you have plans for a picnic, backyard barbecue, or anything else in the works, it's still a chance to look cute and wear something festive, which is why we're delivering all the inspiration and shopping ideas you'll need for a standout Fourth of July outfit.

This year, we've turned to our favorite fashion girls to inspire us to plan a look that's fun but still chic. From classically cool stripes to stylish combinations of red, white, and blue, these outfits have the whole festive-yet-elevated vibe down pat—no cliché stars or flag prints in sight. Scroll down to see 10 stylish and easy outfits you can copy this Fourth of July and keep wearing all summer long.

Take your favorite statement top (we're fans of puffy sleeves), and pair it with crisp white jeans for a winning summer 'fit that works for the holiday and beyond.
Nothing is more iconic for summertime festivities than a classic white dress. This summer, it's all about smocked details and flowy silhouettes.
While wearing red, white, and blue can come off a tad cliché, the combination of red and white feels festive in a way that's more classic. We love the look of a red sundress punctuated by bright white sunglasses. (You could also pair it with white sandals or a white bag.)
Although dubbed the Canadian tuxedo, a double-denim outfit can also be a nod to this American holiday. We love how it's styled here with a basic white tank and sneakers to really let the blues do their thing.
Give your minidresses a fresh look with a pair of cowboy boots. Don't ask me why, but the combo just works.
An all-white outfit sounds simple enough in theory, but it actually brings a lot of personality. Accessorize with some gold jewelry and statement shoes—just be sure to dodge stains.
This year's celebrations are looking a lot more low-key than in years past, so if you're keeping things casual, this easy 'fit is for you and uses wardrobe basics you likely already own.
Scarf tops are trending yet again this summer, and the look feels festive for the Fourth, especially when you go with a bandana print.
Pleated shorts are having a moment this summer, and we love the simplicity of wearing them with a ribbed tank top. Fun fact: Dawn Tan actually wore this to her family's barbecue, so you know it works.
Last, of course, we have the striped swimsuit. Stripes automatically feel summery and give a nod to the U.S. flag without being overly cliché. In primary colors like red or blue, it's festive but still classic.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
