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.
