Fourth of July may look a little different this year due to the pandemic. Sadly, we will have to limit gathering in large crowds to watch fireworks or going to parties. But don’t let that bring down your style! Looking for an outfit that goes beyond the traditional Stars and Stripes? Here are a few chic Fourth of July outfits to try!

CLASSIC & COMFY

You can’t go wrong with the classic white button-down and denim shorts. For example, I chose this top from Banana Republic and these high-waisted shorts (similar here) from Urban Outfitters. If you’re celebrating stay-at-home style in your backyard, this look is the way to go because it’s light and comfy. Plus, if you are a redhead, you’re lucky to have the best red accessory around! If you’re not, pair this look with a red earrings!

SOPHISTICATED STYLE

A sleek look with a pair of tailored high-waisted pant and a puff sleeve top is the perfect outfit for a Fourth of July date. I got these paperboy pants from H&M (similar here) and this lace top from Forever 21 (similar). Paring the entire outfit with large earrings (Similar by Lele Sadoughi) takes it to a whole new level. Complete the outfit with little pops of red, like my red heels (similar at Lulus), Coach wristlet, and a classic red lip.

COLOR POP

Tired of the same ol’ colors? You don’t have to wear the traditional red, white, and blue to stand out this holiday. Try a bright summer color, like yellow! This yellow and white striped dress from ASOS is the way to go. I paired it with white accessories to keep the whole look airy on a hot day. Seriously, what could be more American than wearing a yellow dress while drinking a cold lemonade on the Fourth of July?

PLAY WITH TEXTURE

If you want to take a typical white and blue look up a notch, play with texture! The key is pairing it with simple pieces so that the accent can be the star of the show. This illusion top (similar here) illustrates this nicely, paired with a simple denim skirt from H&M. I completed this textured look with a hint of hot pink in my accessories. It’s a fun way to play on the classic red color.

Whatever it is that you do for the Fourth, please stay healthy and safe!

After living in New York City for over five years, I miss the fast pace, the fashion, and the food!  I LOVE living in Philly, but when NYFW comes around, I usually try to take advantage of every second.  Due to a contract in Jersey, I had to accomplish Fashion Week in just three days!  My biggest take aways from Spring/Summer 2019 shows?  Three words: color, sequins, and clear vinyl!

The bold colors of the 80’s are returning with a vengeance.  Daring pinks, purples, blues, greens, and yellows depict a feminine strength as seen in this years Meticulously Eccentric show.  These hues mirror last seasons power suites and encourage women to be strong and confident!  I supported this theme with an all yellow two-piece outfit by Nasty Gal. I complimented the look with a pair of yellow Nasty Gal shades (similar here), blue Report Ladia Heels, and a clear vinyl bag (similar here).

Sequins and metallic’s are taking over the runway! Unlike the over-use of sparkles in the 80’s, this detailing is modernly designed with sophistication and beautiful craftsmanship.  It allows for a feminine touch of elegance, as well as a flirty rebellious feel when added to denim!  These designs from the Custo Barcelona Show (as seen above) showcase this concept perfectly.  Sleek silhouettes give way to delicate embellishments for dresses, jackets, and even boots.  Additionally, he too rocks the bold color statement throughout his line.  The Custo Barcelona show was hands down my favorite show this season!

Lastly, clear vinyl and translucent sleeves will be making their mark in the Spring and Summer of 2019.  My favorite two examples of this glassy trend were the designs at the Vitruvius Collection at the Nolcha Show’s. They designed incredible structured pieces with a strong, mod architectural flare.

I had an absolute blast this year at fashion week meeting new people and getting inspired by the incredible designs for 2019.  Thank you so much to all the PR companies, production companies, and brands for inviting me to your shows!  Here’s to next season!
