STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Subtly Patriotic

Being patriotic for the Fourth of July doesn’t mean you have to be plastered in red, white and blue or stars and stripes. This Fashionista represents the perfect way to be subtly patriotic for this summer holiday. So, for those of you who want to give America some love in a subtle way, here are a few suggestions.

Let’s start with the bottoms. This Fashionista is wearing jean shorts, a staple in almost everyone’s wardrobe. Jean shorts (or denim in general) add that blue into your outfit. Any kind of denim, whether it’s a jean shirt, jeans or even a jean skirt, works. For shorts like hers, click here. On top, she is wearing a plain white tank top, though she adds a scarf to bring in the red. The print on her scarf and the tassels add just the right amount of texture and interest. Her shoes add a bohemian touch, while her bracelets tie in her personal style. The simplicity of her subtle outfit is perfect. So next year, when you are picking out the perfect Fourth of July outfit, just remember that it is possible to be patriotic in a subtle way. Plus, certain pieces can be worn throughout the summer and not just for the holiday.
