The best thing about summer besides the heat, inevitable tanning, and not needing to spend time figuring out how to layer your outfit today, iiiiiis July 4th celebrations and this year, for most of us corporate peeps, it falls on a Monday which means: long weekend shenanigans are put into place!

Regardless of whether you’ll be traveling or staying put, it’s important to solve the “what will I wear” equation for the celebratory festivities that are about to go down. I’ve rounded up some good outfit ideas and pieces for you to play around with. Of course, everyone wears a variation of red, white, and blue but uh, I was thinking of some other cool themes besides the expected. Like, nautical is a cool theme for July 4th celebrations! Love me some Breton stripes and blue jeans and some clean white sneakers. Or, try a blue and white print paired with denim shorts. Below are a selection of inspirational photos to hopefully inspire you, as it did me, on what to wear for the big 4th.
