Rock the Fourth: What to wear to look totally hot in the holiday heat

Check these out, too...

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
Ah, finally. The best summer holiday is here…and so is the heat! Instead of just sitting around to watch the fireworks, show off your patriotism! Celebrate this Independence Day wearing one of these awesome outfits to keep cool while looking totally cute.

 

All American
We heart this adorable cropped American flag tank! Sport some comfy cut-offs and cool shades to create a super smokin’ look. A pair of navy TOMS is the perfect shoe choice, especially for running around with your buds. Add these patriotic hair ties for a no-mess pony, and you’re all set. Just don’t forget the SPF!

Silver Jeans Co Trinity Shorts, $62, pacsun.com
Classic Metal Aviator Sunglasses, $14, urbanoutfitters.com        
Navy Canvas Women’s Classics, $44, toms.com

 

Stars and Stripes Forever
Head to the pool in a sizzling flag suit. (Psst: Stripes add cute curves!) Add a red tank, white shorts, navy flip-flops, and striped beach tote to perfect your patriotism. Make sure to keep those shades handy to keep the sun away!

Oh say, can you see?

When nighttime rolls around, dress up your patriotic style with a fabulous nautical dress. Add a lightweight cardi and sweet wedges to keep this look feminine and fun. A brown leather crossbody bag is ideal for carrying around your total must-haves. Add a cute pair of gold chandelier earrings and a fun colorful bracelet…and voilà! This nighttime look will show your spirit (without going overboard). Let’s just say that the fireworks won’t be the only thing catching people’s eyes!
