Lady LUX

Celebrate America's birthday in style this year with stars, stripes and everything red, white and blue. Whether you're going to the beach or a barbeque, show your patriotism by incorporating these pieces into your fourth of July look.

Bring a grunge vibe to your 4th of July party with American flag shorts by The Laundry Room. Made from repurposed materials, these shorts feature heavy bleaching and studded detailing.

Pair a graphic star tee by Current/Elliott with faded cut-off shorts for the perfect star spangled ensemble. A distressed treatment lends a worn effect to this casual look.

For a fancier affair, wear a stripe pleat skirt by Robert Rodriguez. A playful A-line silhouette in red and white will pair perfectly with a blue blouse.

When the sun starts to go down, throw on a flag sweater by Free People to keep the festivities going. An open-knit weave on this oversized pullover will look great by the bonfire.

Show off your legs in a pair of lizard embossed sandals by Steven for a night out after the fireworks. Gleaming hardware and ankle straps add a sexy touch.

It doesn’t get more festive than an American flag bikini by Ralph Lauren for the fourth. This itty-bitty bikini features adjustable triangle cups that create more or less coverage to suit your mood.

Stay comfy all day in a navy nautical romper by Splendid. Featuring an optional striped tie at the waist, all you need now is a pop of red to complete the look.

Show your patriotism at the beach all summer long with a bleached flag towel by Wildfox. Rendered in soft pastel hues, it evokes a vintage feel.

Go for an effortless backyard barbeque look in a vibrant tie-dye maxi dress by Vix Swimwear. This smocked cover-up puckers at the waist and has Americana written all over it.

Show pride for your country in a stars and stripes tank by Buddhist Punk. Featuring tonal stitching, raw edges and patchwork, add red skinny jeans to your ensemble for a pop of color.
