Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer, and the 4th of July is right behind it — two of the best excuses all season to lean into classic All-American style. I pulled together eight looks that work for both holidays (and every red, white, and blue moment in between), built around the pieces I keep coming back to summer after summer: crisp white denim, navy maxis, breton stripes, gingham, and the perfect pop of red.

These looks are easy, wearable, and designed to move from a Memorial Day cookout to a 4th of July parade to a long weekend by the water without missing a beat. Think harbor lunches, backyard barbecues, fireworks on the lawn, and rooftop dinners as the sun goes down.
