Red, White & Boho: How to Do 4th of July Without the Costume

Red, White & Boho: How to Do 4th of July Without the Costume

There's a version of Fourth of July dressing that involves flag-print everything, a foam hat, and sequins shaped like fireworks. This is not that.

The boho way to wear the holiday leans on the pieces you already reach for — soft, broken-in denim, an easy white tee, a little patchwork — and lets one small wink of red do all the patriotic talking. No costume required. Here's how we're styling the long weekend, from the morning parade to the backyard sparklers.

The formula

Three pieces, endless combinations. Denim is the backbone — it reads Americana without trying. White keeps it breezy in the heat. And a single hit of red — a bandana knotted at the neck, a swipe of lip, a pair of sandals — is all the flag you need.

Look 01 · Throw-on-and-go

So Comfy Wide Leg Denim Pant - Denim

Our most-loved wide-leg denim does the heavy lifting. Tuck in a crisp white tee, slip on white sneakers, and you're parade-ready in under a minute. The relaxed leg keeps you cool when the afternoon turns sticky.

Look 02 · Cookout-ready overalls

High Hopes Slouchy Denim Overalls - Blue

The overalls that started it all. Layer them over a white tank or a thin striped tee, knot a red bandana at the throat, and you've got a look that survives lawn games, sparklers, and a second helping of potato salad.

Look 03 · The one-and-done dress

Sweetheart Charm Overalls Maxi Dress - Denim

For the days you want to look pulled together without thinking about it, the patchwork overalls maxi is a whole outfit on one hanger. Add white sneakers for day, swap to sandals and gold hoops once the sun drops.

Look 04 · The light-wash edit

The Nest So Comfy Wide Leg Denim Pant - Bleach Dye Denim

A sun-bleached wash that feels like July itself. The cropped length shows off your sandals and keeps things airy — pair with a tucked tee and a straw tote for the farmers-market-to-fireworks kind of day.

The piece that ties it all together

Scoop Neck Bralette Tee

Every look above starts with a good tee. Ours is soft, a little longer in the back, and made in the USA — which feels right for the occasion. Grab it in white for the breeziest version of the holiday.
