As a general rule of thumb, don't go overboard and stick to two of the 3 American colors. Avoid mimicking the flag. Accent your red, white or blue withe neutral accents such as a brown cross-body or add a little shine with gold or silver jewels.
If you are participating in events where you will be bathing suit clad, a chic cover up can be sultry for summer. Break out your white sandals, navy tunic cover up and complete the look with a straw hat. You can even dress things up a bit with neutral stud earrings. (for those of you that feel absolutely naked with no jewelry) Simplicity is best when rocking a swim suit. You can still look couture with the basics.
Take full advantage of the nautical trend, but you don't have to limit yourself with red, white or blue. Add accessories such as a yellow acrylic necklace or a cropped blazer over shorts. Choose one nautical focal point and layer it with unexpected pieces to pull the summer look together.
If you are attending a formal soiree, a simple sheath dress piled high with jewelry will work perfectly. A red sleeveless dress piled with gold, tortoise, or a subdued colored necklace will dress up or down the look. Gold accents such as a clutch, heels or jewelry will be eye-catching against your red, white or blue.
Plan to keep it chic with patriotic flair for a flawless 4th of July look!
