Is there a dress code for July 4th?

While there’s no specific dress code for July 4th, if you want to be patriotic, you could always choose an outfit made up of red, white and blue.

July 4th outfits

Below, I’ve put together a July 4th capsule, inspired by the colors, stars and stripes of the Star-Spangled Banner.

No matter what you are doing on July 4th, you’ll find that you can dress these tops up or down. I’ve chosen a casual t-shirt, a t-shirt with a twist and shirts featuring stars and stripes.

I think the blue of the moto jacket (below) would be perfect for July 4th. For casual days, you could also think about a denim jacket, or dress up your looks with a blazer. If you just want a lightweight cover-up, a striped cardigan would be perfect.

For your bottoms, a pair of shorts or pants will be perfect if you are attending a barbecue or more casual party. You could opt for pair of leggings to wear under shorter dresses like the t-shirt dress in the next section.
