Given the importance of the day, your 4th of July outfit should be just as noteworthy. It may seem difficult to get creative with your patriotic clothing when you're trying to incorporate the classic red, white, and blue along with all those Stars and Stripes, but there's definitely a way to shake up the standard holiday uniform.

No matter how you choose to let freedom ring, there's a style to match it: If you're attending your local town parade and fireworks display, wear a cute summer dress or maxi skirt. If your look needs to be fashionable and functional at the annual family barbecue, opt for linen shirts and a pair of jean shorts. There's also the option of festive graphic tees, blousy tops, and statement pants. You can even don a Fourth of July swimsuit in patriotic colors at your pool party. (After all, it is the most patriotic day of the year!) Heck, throw on a cover-up with a straw hat and you'll have the cutest beach outfit!
