The most festive time of the summer is upon us! Many are making plans to celebrate America’s birthday on July 4th by wearing patriotic looks that are exploding with style. Whether your plans include getting dressed up for a special dinner or wedding, or something more casual like a backyard BBQ – looking fabulous should be a part of that agenda.
Many celebrities demonstrate style independence in patriotic colors throughout the year. So, as you begin to plan looks for your holiday vacation, you should know that taking a bold, star-spangled approach to pulling together an outfit isn’t necessary. Instead, go the simple and chic route as inspired by this week’s Star Style looks.
A sheath dress similar to the one spotted on Kerry Washington offers the options of dressing up or down. For a more casual approach, a braided belt could take the ensemble in a laid-back direction.
For fellas attending a nighttime July 4th event, a casual suit similar to Kevin Hart‘s is totally dapper.
Those looking to go with a touch of class and elegance, should take a page out of Adrienne Bailon‘s look. Nights out don’t have to be limited to mini skirts and body-skimming garments to draw attention. A tailored white short suit coordinated with a sparkling top looks just as sexy.
If the event your attending calls for cocktail attire, then by all means go fierce — and go red! How fabulous does Emayatzy Corinealdi look in this cocktail dress?!
