What to Wear: July 4th

For me, July 4th means beach, boats, bbq, and LOTS of beer. But it's important to be sure that you have the proper attire for the festivities.  From runway to sequins to tie dye, below are my picks for patriotic attire for the big day and everyday.

Catherine Malendrino's American Flag Dress is the conservative choice for a proper Independence Day cocktail party.

With innumerable choices for the American flag bikini, I picked the classic triangle top and the bandeau monokini.

And why not keep the sun off your face in one of these stylish sequin sun hats?

This Denim blazer from Tommy Hilfiger will add pizazz to a simple dress or can be paired with the 

all-American fav....the cut-off jean short.

If our nations birthday calls for a night out on the town, the above ankle-strap sandals or sequin party dress (below) are sure to make you stand out in style.

And for the rocker in you, this sequin corset top would pair perfectly with your cut-offs or even a denim mini skirt.

For the man, we'll start with the "lounge pant". What man wouldn't want to watch his favorite sport on the tube, in his man chair, wearing a pair of these?!?

The male or female hipster can sport this patriotic fedora from American Eagle.

And who doesn't love a little tie-dye?

These boxer briefs are sure to add a little sparkle to your day!

Loving these shades, but I wonder if the curving lenses could cause a bit of a Vertigo effect? 

And don't worry, we haven't forgotten about Sporty American - the NIKE Dunk Low GS is sure to dominate on the court, while the modern and vintage casual lace ups (below) are perfect for every-day wear.

And for a day at the beach, certainly don't forget your 

"Vintage Sexy Fit 1980's Men's Swimsuit"!

Happy Birthday America!!
