Brice Springsteen’s jeans, Ralph Lauren’s equestrian aesthetic, nautical stars and stripes, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter western wear: these things are the pinnacle of Americana. Yet Americana can so easily walk the line between a Vogue cover and an Old Navy commercial if you’re not careful. In preparation for the July 4th holiday, we talked to three Glamhive stylists to build 4th of July outfits that are actually chic.
Classic Summer White
Sticking to the same color palette is not only classic and elegant, it’s a lifesaver for coordinating family photos. As a mom, Glamhive stylist Jane knows how to balance personal style with the needs of the whole family.
“Anchoring your family's looks in white will keep the overall effect classy and timeless while allowing for a variety of accent colors and patterns to avoid looking too matchy-matchy,” said Jane. “For your own look, a bright summer white that alludes to mid-century elegance allows you to play with a fun look without limiting the future utility of any pieces."

Not Your Typical Red, White, & Blue
by Glamhive stylist Elly Brown
You don’t have to wear red, white, and blue to embody the 4th of July spirit. Elly recommends adding a pop of a red accessory or removing one of the three colors from your overall look.
When dressing for hot weather, take note of the fabrics you’re choosing. “Make sure to opt for light fabrics like linen in the summer to help keep you cool,” said Elly.

Switch-Up the Print: Stars and Shells
by Glamhive stylist Alexa Baxt
If you’re one to dress outside the box, why not play around with print?
“Switch up traditional red, white, and blue stripes for a stand-out look with stars and shell prints,” said Alexa.
If shining bright like a firework is how you express your style, Alexa recommends starry sequins, playful cutouts, or a bold shell clutch.
