What to Wear for the 4th of July: Modest + Festive Outfits from Love Olive Co

by Bryce Tarnasky on July 02, 2025

The 4th of July is almost here—and whether you're heading to a backyard BBQ, watching fireworks with friends, or spending the day at the lake, one thing’s for sure: you want to feel cute, confident, and comfortable in your red, white, and blue.

At Love Olive Co, we’re all about helping you celebrate in style—with modest clothing that fits your life and your values. From breezy dresses to classic striped tees, here’s your guide to creating the perfect 4th of July outfit that’s both festive and functional.


🎆 1. Stick to a Patriotic Color Palette—Without Going Overboard

You don’t have to wear a full American flag to show your spirit (unless you want to, of course!). Instead, try mixing pops of red, white, and blue in a more wearable, everyday way.

Style Tips:

  • Pair a white top with denim shorts and red sandals

  • Try a blue and white striped tee with a red scrunchie or bandana

  • Go for a floral dress with subtle red accents for a soft patriotic vibe


🍔 2. Choose Breathable Fabrics for Backyard BBQs and Firework Fun

Independence Day is usually HOT, and you’ll likely be outside most of the day. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and comfy—from morning parades to evening fireworks.

Love Olive Co Favorites:

  • Soft cotton tees

  • Flowy midi and maxi dresses

  • Ribbed knit tanks layered with lightweight cardigans


3. Go for Modest + Movable

From sparklers to spikeball, you want to look great without worrying about adjusting your outfit all day. That’s where modest fashion shines—our pieces are designed to move with you, not against you.

Outfit Combo Ideas:

  • A midi dress + sneakers = cute and practical

  • High-waisted jeans + a tucked-in tee + sandals = simple and timeless

  • A swing dress + denim jacket for cooler evenings


🎇 4. Add Accessories That Sparkle

Even if you’re keeping your outfit simple, accessories are the perfect place to add a little festive flair.

Easy Add-Ons:

  • A red scrunchie or headband

  • Star-shaped earrings or bangles

  • A small crossbody bag in a bold patriotic color

  • Statement sunnies for daytime fun
