4th of July Outfits, Jewelry & Gift Ideas

Fireworks, BBQ, music and drinks — what’s not to love about the 4th of July? Of course, you can’t show up to America’s birthday party in just anything. Get into a red, white, and blue state of mind with these cute and patriotic 4th of July outfits. We’ve also sprinkled in a few of our favorite 4th of July decoration ideas and gift ideas to help you party like it’s 1776!

Lady in Red

Make life easy and go with a monochrome red look this Independence Day. This festive red cami tank is as chic as it is comfortable — perfect for a long day or evening of celebrating. Style with shorts, red hoop earrings and a red clutch bag for a bold July 4th look that is sure to turn heads.

Prepared to Party

Throwing a successful July 4th celebration is all about being prepared. Nothing ruins a fun day in the sun like a painful sunburn; with this UPF 50+ Liberty Straw Hat, you’ll be patriotic and protected. Other must-have essentials for an outdoor summer gathering: 4th of July Teleties hair ties, a patriotic tumbler for keeping your drink cold, and other sun protection essentials like sunscreen. No matter the weather, you’ll be ready!

All-Out American

Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic look; we’re talking a red, white and blue color palette with all the stars and stripes. Start with a festive 4th of July t-shirt, like this “Ain’t That America” tee or this “Red, White & Sweet” shirt. Then layer on your favorite patriotic accessories like this American flag silicone smart watch band and a pair of red, white, or blue sunnies. Don’t forget a cute 4th of July clutch to polish off your look.

Festive Accessories

On the other hand, you could keep the base of your outfit chic and simple, and allow your accessories to do the talking. This adorable “Y’all” beaded zip pouch is so fun and convenient for stashing your credit cards or cash. Or, transform any bag into a July 4th accessory with this red, white, and blue crossbody strap. Finish the look with classic white wedges, oversized sunglasses, and firecracker red nails.

Patriotic Jewelry

No matter what you’re wearing, patriotic jewelry is the perfect final touch to any July 4th outfit. Go big and bold with these USA beaded dangle earrings, or keep things understated with these adorable 4th of July rocket studs. Of course, it doesn’t get any more patriotic than oversized red, white, and blue eagle earrings! If earrings aren’t your thing, we love this sophisticated yet patriotic star necklace.

Star Spangled

We’ll always have a place in our heart for stripes, but if you only want to rock one print this July 4th, you can’t go wrong with stars on stars! This blue and white star sweater tank is so cute and comfortable. Pair it with denim shorts and sandals for a laid-back look. Elevate your look with dainty pieces like this two-tone star bangle and these petite gold star hoops.

Hostess with the Mostess

Hosting this year’s July 4th celebration? It’s a good idea to stock up on a few essentials to set the mood and make sure your guests are comfortable. A few cute 4th of July decorations  can go a long way towards making your event feel festive and celebratory. Disposable kitchen accessories like plastic cups and paper napkins make cleanup easy — bonus points if they fit into the red, white, and blue theme.

Muted Palette

Bright reds and blues may be the norm for most 4th of July outfits for women, but who says you can’t shake things up? For an outfit that is both chic and celebratory, consider playing around with muted tones and softer colors found in the same family; for instance, this sleeveless navy stripe dress. Style it with a soft pink headband and white wedges or sneakers for a look that is understated and feminine, yet undeniably American.

Patriotic July 4th Gifts

If you are attending an Independence Day gathering, don’t show up empty-handed! 4th of July gifts can go a long way towards making the host feel appreciated. We recommend a festive gift that the recipient can use right away, like cute 4th of July jewelry or accessories. Patriotic home decor is another excellent gift idea that will leave a good impression.

We hope these cute 4th of July outfits, decorations, and gifts have sparked a few ideas for you. Happy birthday America, and happy 4th of July from our Prep Obsessed family to yours!
