Stay Fashionable at 4tht of July Fireworks Shows:
Fireworks Shows are perfect events for showing off your love of town and country, while looking fabulous and on trend. To stay cool while sitting on grassy knolls and enjoying the fiery light show, wear shorts and a crop top for comfort. Two separate pieces that match showing a bit of midriff are really on trend right now.

At the Pool or the Beach:
If you’re at the pool or beach all day you are bound to eat something. Let’s be honest we all try to watch what we eat while we’re in our bikinis! That’s why Mara Hoffman’s colorful swimsuit is perfect: it covers the belly, but still shows enough skin. Tres chic!

Pretty in Summertime Party Dresses:
Summer dresses add a dash of class to 4th of July daytime parties. Bare your sleeves to stay cool at an outdoor party with an A-line dress (as seen below), or choose a open-back option. Wearing a summer dress with an open back keeps your party attire casual yet up-to-trend. Showing off your back, instead of the commonly worn low-front neckline, is a great way to look fab and stay cool on hot summer nights.

Break Hearts at Summer Barbecues:
This season is all about the cutout, and 4th of July celebrations give you the perfect excuse to try out this trend. Wear a short, flirty dress with cutouts to let the summer breeze keep you cool. To keep it classy and not too revealing, reach for the cutout dress with a high neckline. After all, you don’t want to smear BBQ sauce all over your fashionable duds so keep it simple.
