It’s Independence Day, girlies! All of you should be in your best patriotic getup tonight, whether you’ll be out partying with friends or spending time at home with the family. Stripes were seen all over the runways this season, from Thakoon to Marc by Marc Jacobs, ranging from bold to subtle.
With the Fourth of July coming round every summer, designers have a tendency to go red-white-and-blue crazy. Even the British megastore Topshop has jumped on the America bandwagon after landing stateside, the addition of patriotic designs complementing the typical Union Jack.
The red and white striped oragami dress is priced at $70, and the cross-body bag is $50. Both are excellent additions to any all-American girl’s wardrobe, and perfect complements to a round of fireworks.
Add a bold accent piece to your outfit with these stellar necklaces from Ben-Amun and Diane Yang, respectively. Go for a multitude of stars with a deep v-neck top or dress in a subtle, muted color to draw attention to the décolletage. Choose a simple drop necklace to play up a bold outfit.
Don’t forget to have fun and take plenty of pictures! Have a great Fourth of July!
