Red, White, and Blue Outfit Ideas
1. Red, White, and Blue Matching Sets
One of my favorite parts about the summer holidays is that they’re always an all day affair. These fun and festive matching sets are the perfect way to keep comfy after a swim, during a BBQ, and even into the night.
Pairing a long sleeve top with shorts is a practical way to keep both warm and cool enough for summertime temperatures (especially when the sun goes down). These sets are all so adorable and would look great with any type of sandals or even white sneakers. Plus, nothing looks more put together than a matching set.

2. American Flag Tops
I’m not one to shy away from repping the American flag with pride and I have always loved the flag sweater look. These adorable tops and sweaters are the perfect way to stay both festive and on trend during all of your festivities this year. I’ve been seeing these American flag crewnecks everywhere lately, and after watching all the cute ways people are styling them, I’m so excited to pull mine out again this season.
This one pairs perfectly with denim shorts and some cute summer sandals!
3. Festive Swimwear
I know that many of you have plans for the 4th of July that revolve around the water. I mean, who doesn’t love to spend the hot summer days swimming and hanging out as a family?
Every summer, patriotic swimwear hits the storefronts, but it’s honestly not an easy task to find quality pieces that don’t look….tacky. I love brands like Beach Riot, where you can find swimsuits that offer a classic look. Tip: Sticking to solid colors can help you get the most wear out of these pieces.
4. Swim Cover-Ups
No summer vacation or poolside day would be complete without a cute swim cover-up! There are endless options for cover-ups depending on the occasion. Whether it’s a crocheted pick for a more dressed-up look or a shorts and button down set for a casual day, these options will have you relaxing in style by the pool, lake, or ocean….
5. Patriotic Dresses and Rompers
Dresses are a go-to of mine throughout the year, but I tend to live in them during the summer months. I love how easy it is to throw on a dress or romper and look put together with just one piece. From backyard casual to country club chic, these finds would work for so many outings.
Oh, and don’t be afraid to play around with different shoes and accessories when you wear dresses. Give things a higher-end feel with a pair of pumps and dangly earrings, keep it laid back with flat sandals, or go ultra-casual with sneakers and a baseball cap.
6. Graphic Tees
Graphic tees make for a go-to throw on piece for a cute and casual summer outfit. These loose and breezy t-shirts will keep you cool during even the hottest of days, and pairing them with your favorite denim shorts combines comfort with a cool girl factor. This would be my outfit of choice for a holiday party or family barbecue. Plus, you could easily slip any of these shirts on after a dip in the lake or pool.
7. Red, White, and Blue Accessories
From hats and headbands to beach bags and towels, the opportunities for red, white, and blue accessories are endless. You guys know I have a sweet spot for jewelry, but all of these accessories are the most fun way to dress up any look for your next patriotic party (and many of them are affordable).
If you don’t want to go all out with a full red, white, and blue outfit this summer, these accessories will add just the right touch of patriotic flair to your look.
