Backyard BBQ Red, White, & Blue Outfits
These patriotic BBQ outfits blend comfort, practicality, and festive charm—no flag tee required. Backyard barbecues strike that delicate balance between casual and put-together. Whether you’re the hostess with the mostess or the guest who brings the best sides, these red, white, and blue outfit ideas will have you looking effortlessly patriotic while still being practical enough to handle lawn games and buffet lines. BBQ Styles That Actually Hold Up: Star Scan your wardrobe for things that tick all these boxes before you go adding to cart. Patterns that hide BBQ sauce splatter and watermelon drips like a champ (Consider how mess prone you, your kids, your dog, etc are…). Bottom options that won’t betray you when sitting outside (Are we talking sitting on the lawn and getting up/down? Adirondack chairs with an ungraceful angle? Or ideal lawn furniture, freshly pressure washed?) Need a hat that provides actual sun protection? Shoes that don’t hate grass and/or pea gravel? Once you’ve briefly considered the basics, the backyard setting invites playful interpretations of patriotic style. Try mixing textures like eyelet, linen, and denim for dimension that elevates your look beyond the basic flag palette. And let’s talk festive factor—if wearing flag-printed bandanas or star-spangled earrings brings you joy, go for it! Whimsy can be absolutely delightful when it’s authentically you. It only becomes questionable when you’re forcing something that doesn’t match your personality just for the occasion. Embrace the level of festive that feels right for you. I’ve been waiting for someone to ask me to style them as a nod to the Statue of Liberty but no one has asked yet… I think it could work, flame and all?

Red, White, and Blue Pool Party Picks
…That Actually Work Pool parties demand outfits that can handle chlorine, sunshine, and the inevitable transition from poolside lounging to evening gatherings. The trick to nailing patriotic pool style? -A solid navy or red swimsuit that provides both comfort and style (bonus points if it can double as a bodysuit for post-pool activities) -A cover-up that elevates your look from “just swimming” to “I am actually aware it’s a holiday” -Accessories that can handle getting wet—waterproof watches, red or navy sunglasses, solid gold or platinum jewelry, etc. -The pool setting is perfect for playing with shades and patterns within the red, white, and blue palette. Patterns (stripes, polka dots, florals, gingham, so many options…) -If festive flair is your jam, which I fully support, this is your moment to shine! Those American flag headbands, earrings, pool floats or star-spangled drink koozies? Completely appropriate if they make you smile. The key is owning whatever level of festive feels authentic to you—it only becomes questionable when you’re forcing a style that doesn’t match your personality. Poolside Planning with the AMC App: Avoid day-of swimwear panic by leveraging the Adjust My Crown app in two key ways: First, create a dedicated “Pool Party” or “Summer Celebrations” collection where you save your complete poolside looks. This isn’t just about the swimsuit—capture your cover-up, accessories, and even your beach bag setup. Next year, you’ll thank yourself for documenting what worked. No more panic vacation or summer shopping and mounting boxes to return. Second, use the app for pre-shopping by taking screenshots of potential new swimwear or accessories. Organize these images alongside your existing pieces to visualize complete looks before buying. This prevents those “why did I think this would match?” moments when the package arrives. Whether you’re diving into the deep end or sipping something cold from the safety of a lounge chair, your patriotic pool style should feel as refreshing as that first splash on a hot summer day. Oh, and any finds pictured but not linked in this post are always linked in the “Finds” Section – just Filter Finds by what it is (top, accessories, etc). 📌 Pin This Okay bestie, we’ve all been there—scrolling when something gorgeous stops you mid-scroll. Your finger hovers over “Add to Cart,” but do you really NEED it? Polls are your new (honest and unbiased) shopping BFF. Eyeing that Chloe bag? The jelly is so on-trend (plus can be a purse AND pool bag AND lake bag AND beach bag) – the Chloe can elevate a whole fit. Before swiping that card, ask: “Is this better than my current go-to?” It’s totally poll-worthy to figure that out. In 30 seconds you can: Screenshot the new item + Snap a pic of your current one + Post the poll + Wait for votes = clarity and time saved on returns and wondering. 📌 Pin This Don’t forget the accessories! The suit and pareo (or cover-up) are just your starting points. This season, invest in a few versatile pieces that elevate every look: 📌 Pin This Hat: If you’re a minimalist, choose one that’s polished enough for a city outing. If you’re a maximalist, pick a hat that makes a statement with this specific outfit. Sunglasses: Go for a fun color or a trendy shape—something that adds personalityJewelry: Layers are your friend. Mix metals, stack bracelets, and wear plenty of pieces to keep things interesting. Shoes: Even a simple pair can transform your vibe, so choose wisely. Each accessory contributes to that effortless “sprezzatura” or “je ne sais quoi” that makes your look feel complete and you feel awesome, even at the pool. 📌 Pin This Look $248 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $840 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $1050 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $129 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $100 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $29.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $10 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $13 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $56.25 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $63 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $54 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $230 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $230 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $360 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $345 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $239 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $80 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $120 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $118 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $138 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $98 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $130 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $195 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $49.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $49.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $84 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $245 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $245 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $49.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $905.81 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $348 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $195 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $295 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $35 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $130 Take me there
Red, White, and Blue Outfits for the Lake
…Festive but Still Chill Nothing says summer like a day at the lake decked out in patriotic colors that hit the sweet spot between festive and relaxed but they need to be comfortable and work from dock to dinner. The beauty of lake outfits is their versatility: The reflective water demands sunglasses. Layers are needed for a breeze or a breezy boat ride. Shorts need to handle a little splash, some sauce or mud, and still look good for post-lake drinks. For the bold personalities among us, don’t be afraid to embrace a hint of whimsical—flag sweaters can be absolutely charming if that’s your style. It’s only questionable if you’re forcing it. Authenticity always wins, even when it comes with a side of cheese. It’s fun if you’re fun. Whether you’re lounging dockside or hopping between boats, your patriotic lake style should feel as effortless as a perfect summer day—even if there was a smidge of planning behind it. Oh, and any finds pictured but not linked in this post are always linked in the “Finds” Section – just Filter Finds by what it is (top, accessories, etc). Save yourself from last-minute outfit stress by using the Adjust My Crown app in two crucial ways: First, create a collection called “Festive Lake Days” or “Red+White+Blue” where you can save your successful lake outfits. Next summer, you won’t be frantically searching for what worked this year—you’ll have a visual record ready to recreate or tweak as needed. Second, use the app to pre-shop by taking screenshots of potential new pieces and organizing them alongside what you already own. This gives you a clear picture of how that new red swimsuit will coordinate with your existing cover-ups before you hit “purchase” and minimize your return habits. 📌 Pin This What if, before you click “buy,” you paused for just 30 seconds to post a poll? You’d ask: “Does this red sweater actually go with my everyday jeans? Would that striped top play nice with the skirts you really wear?” In half a minute, you’d discover which of the two pieces will actually serve your closet—less clutter, more outfits worn, and a way lower cost-per-wear. Slowly—like an iceberg shifting beneath the surface—your wardrobe and your everyday dressing transform, becoming profoundly (and delightfully) different. 📌 Pin This You’re torn between a bag you already own and that new bucket bag you’ve been eyeing. When you create a poll in Adjust My Crown, add a comment like: ‘I love this bag but I’m not sure I need it. One bag is old, one I’m thinking of buying… which one do you like better?’ Upload both images, write your commentary, hit ‘Post Poll,’ and let the community vote—30 seconds to total closet confidence. 📌 Pin This Shop your closet FIRST and do the “STAR” method. Let these outfits just serve as inspiration to build on. Scan your closet and pick one red, white, or blue item to anchor your outfit. Take out complementary basics that pair well with your base piece. Make sure you’ve got the functional things like hats that stay on your head and sunglasses. Choose footwear that matches the vibe and activities (plastic Birks? Gold sneakers? Slightly dresser like the espadrilles or woven flat?). Add some festive flair! Assemble your options. Remember your options by posting as polls or just “saving to remember this fit”. Whatever you end up wearing, save it in a “Lake Day” collection or a “Red, White, and Blue” collection. Will be a huge help next year and future you thanks today you. Future you knows she has options. Zero outfit stress next year. 📌 Pin This Look $79.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $25.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $47.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $150 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $196 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $375 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $74 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $84 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $178 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $178 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $178 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $150 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $129 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $100 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $29.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $10 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $13 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $56.25 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $63 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $54 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $230 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $230 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $360 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $345 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $239 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $80 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $120 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $118 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $138 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $98 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $130 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $42 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $248 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $195 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $49.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $49.95 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $905.81 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $890 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $195 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $70 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $195 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $295 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $122 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $88 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $88 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $88 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $118 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $12 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $15 Take me there 📌 Pin
