ALL IN THE DETAILS: Star-Spangled All Summer

July 7th, 2015 at 2:00am

Independence Day is a day of remembrance to commemorate our country gaining its freedom. On this day, many people choose to wear the symbolic colors of the American flag to show patriotism. With that, I have a challenge for you all. I challenge you to incorporate your American spirit throughout the entire summer! Why limit ourselves to a designated day to support our homeland? Let the beautiful USA inspire your fashion any day!

This Fashionisto casually sports American symbols in his chic layered look. He works the red, white and blue in a subdued way, combining them with natural colors like brown and khaki. Note his trendy chukka boots and accessories. Guys, don’t be afraid to stack some bracelets around your watches as a leather cord or beads can help emphasize your watch.

Combining prints is another way to tie in some American iconography. This Fashionisto mixes red plaid with navy and white stars. Although layers aren’t always ideal in the heat of the summer, try cuffing a flannel for shorter sleeves or simply tie it around your waist. A stylish graphic T-shirt will pair perfectly with your star spangled outfit. This look is stylish and current yet reflects on pieces of our country’s past. The look is wearable for days following our Fourth of July holiday.

How To: Pair your favorite khaki shorts with a patriotic graphic T-shirt. Layer with a red, white and blue button-down shirt. Accessorize with neutral bracelets, boots and a bold watch. Mix and match unexpected combinations for a casual, patriotic look!
