What to Wear for the Fourth of July: 2025.

What are you doing for the Fourth? We are going to attend a big country club celebration with fireworks, a big spread, cocktails, etc, and bringing the kids for the first time ever. I realized today that the event is not that far away, and we have travel and house guests between now and then, so I should get organized on what we’ll be wearing. A few Magpie reader favorites and top sellers from the past few weeks that would be perfect for the occasion: this cherry-red crochet dress ($59!), the Cosima nap dress in blue and white stripe (a full review, sizing notes, etc, here), and the Doen June blouse. And, a little call out while we’re talking Doen: Doen is launching its second summer collection today and I saw a preview and already want some of the fabulous plaid pieces!

For FOJ, I am in the market for a festive dress — stay tuned on what I pick, but lots of thoughts and options below…!

Red Fourth of July Outfits.

I’m pretty sure I’ll be wearing red gingham this year — so into this color, and its overlap with some of my other favorite microtrends (sardine summer, crochet, basket bags, farmer’s market motif, tomatoes!)

LEFT TO RIGHT: NOTTE TOMATO NECKLACE // CORALIE DRESS // STAUD FLATS // COSMO PANT // BANANA REPUBLIC X SENSI STUDIO BASKET BAG // RL SWEATER* // MI GOLONDRINA DRESS // HILL HOUSE TOP // JENNY LEMONS’ TOMATO HAIR CLIP

*If you love the flag sweater but not the price tag, you might consider this $148 look for less, or this new Quince steal (available in men’s sizes) — a Magpie reader find!

**If you’re as into this red gingham moment as I am, you might like the entirety of the new collections from Mi Golondrina and Hill House!
