6 Ultra-fun outfits for a Fourth of July backyard bash

Ready to have fun this Fourth of July? Of course you are and we’re here to help with six cute, comfy but totally chic outfits you can wear to any party you go to.

1

Sassy and sophisticated

Some summer parties go beyond hotdogs, hamburgers and beer. If you’ll be attending a more stylish affair this Fourth of July, then we suggest upping the fashion ante with some more polished pieces. A floral shift with elegant heels and some oversize shades will create a look that’s fun but fashion forward.

Beach babe

Heading to a pool party or beach-themed holiday bash? You might as well look the part with an easy-wearing outfit that’s cute but ultra-comfy. A colorful strapless maxi dress, floppy sunhat and flip flops come together for an effortlessly cool summer ensemble.

Preppy and pulled together

If you’re going to a family party or maybe your boyfriend’s parents are hosting a backyard bash in honor of the Fourth of July, a simple but polished look is the way to go. A classic pocket T-shirt tucked into a cute pair of shorts and worn with some T-strap flats are all you need to look pulled together.

Boho-chic

No matter what type of party you attend, if you want to go boho-chic (a perfect look for summer), you can do it easily with a vibrant maxi dress. Make the look stand out with a pair of wedge sandals versus something flat and complete the look with a summer-ready straw clutch.

Bold and bright

Want to stand out? Summer is the perfect season to dress a little brighter and there’s no better time to go bold than a party. Start with a vibrant mini, add an equally colorful bib necklace and step out in a pair of turquoise (or similarly bold-hued) wedge espadrilles.

Light and laid-back

A laid-back holiday bash calls for a look that’s relaxed and perfect for sitting around a friend’s backyard, beer in hand, enjoying the long weekend. Start with some faded denim shorts, add a cute sleeveless top and pair the outfit with some flat sandals in a neutral color.
