The great thing about dressing patriotic in America is that our colors go so well together. Chances are, you already have loads of red, white and blue in your wardrobe -- just be careful not to look like a walking flag this Monday. Instead, try mixing textures and adding neutral colors to create a more modern Independence Day outfit.
In our look, we mixed a basket weave hat with tight ruffles, and shiny patent shoes, to create a chic, balanced look. Happy Fourth of July, baby.
