11 Fourth Of July Outfits That Aren't Your Typical Red, White, And Blue
Though it may be tempting to dress for the Fourth of July in a flag-inspired ensemble, choosing a more subtle ensemble is an infinitely more sophisticated way of approaching the holiday. While I wholeheartedly support most rousing demonstrations of patriotism for the Fourth, there are other ways to demonstrate your pride than wearing a tee-shirt, shorts, or a dress with the American flag plastered across them. If the notion of dressing in an ensemble that doesn't include all three patriotic shades has you at a loss, try one of these 11 picks for an outfit that celebrates your sartorial freedom.
Denim Cutoffs
When in sartorial doubt for a casual family Fourth of July get-together, reach for a good pair of denim cutoffs like this version by rag & bone, and add your favorite printed blouse for the perfect ensemble.

Patterned Ruffle Top Dress
No one will accuse you of resorting to style cliches for the occasion in this delicately patterned dress by Joie.

Off-White Eyelet Dress
Instead of going for a pure white dress, try a cream version in delicate eyelet, like this sweet piece by Dolce Vita.

Multicolor Patterned Skirt
The beautifully intricate pattern on this J.Crew mini will allow to to rock a print on the Fourth of July without falling into stars and stripes territory.

Printed Skinny Jeans
These aren’t your mother’s jeans, nor are they your average, all-American Levi’s. They are, however, incredibly modern and artistic for a standout Fourth of July ensemble.
IRO Amaya Low Rise Jean, $124, otteny.com
Persimmon-Colored Dress
If you’re itching to wear something red on the holiday without succumbing to stereotype, try the next shade away: persimmon. A deep orange shade will add visual stimulus to your outfit, but is a less obvious choice than a full-on red dress.

Printed Romper
Try this unconventional holiday ensemble on for size: A short, printed romper with a laid-back vibe. Joie’s Isidora romper provides a slim fit and a vintage-inspired pattern for more casual holiday festivities.

Pink Striped Top
This beautiful collared top by Zara will indulge your craving for stripes–without heading straight for red and white.

Black and Mint Skirt
If you’re looking for a sweet, summery look for a formal Fourth of July shindig, this mint green skirt is a more unusual choice than your average red or blue.

Printed Crepe Blouse
Suno’s printed crepe top features white and blue shades for a bit of holiday spirit, but the hypnotic pattern keeps the shades from appearing overtly patriotic.
