"Something about the Fourth of July has always felt so special to me. It’s truly the pinnacle of summer: backyard barbecues, pool days, fireworks, and time well spent with loved ones. Aside from actually celebrating the holiday, there’s another fun aspect that I always start thinking about way too early for my own good, and that’s the Fourth of July outfits.
I love to get dressed up in a festive outfit for the occasion while also incorporating a little bit of red, white, and blue and true “Americana” vibes. As early summer ticks by, I always find myself keeping an eye out for items that would be Fourth of July-appropriate as I’m online shopping.
I’ve kept them at the back of my mind, and now I’m sharing them with all of you. I put together a few fun and festive outfits to wear for whatever you might be up to this Fourth of July weekend, whether that’s a backyard party, a fireworks show, or just a laidback hang with your family. And yes, I leaned into Americana vibes and red, white, and blue with these outfits. But you can wear any one of these pieces throughout the rest of summer by swapping out accessories. Keep scrolling for seven cute and easy Fourth of July outfits for moms.
American Flag Sweater Outfit
American flag sweaters have been everywhere over the past couple of years. This particular one is an editor-favorite from Old Navy, and it’s under $40! We highly recommend leaning into the boxer shorts trend to round out this outfit. And the red sandals add an extra-festive touch.

This outfit might be my personal favorite of the bunch. Our editors swear by J.Crew swimsuits for how comfortable and flattering they are. This chic gingham patterned one will look great with the loose pull-on beach pants. But it’s really the burgundy accessories that tie this look together.
