I am so happy summer is almost here! Since we’re heading into Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial kickoff to summer, I wanted to share some red white and blue Americana outfit ideas that feel stylish, effortless, and comfortable. Perfect for whether you are heading to a backyard barbecue, a parade, or simply relaxing with friends.
Target has so many affordable, wearable pieces this season. Since spring weather is hit or miss in Chicago, I have a mix of options, whether it’s warm or chilly. Each of these outfits features one key piece in red, white, or blue from Target that brings the patriotic vibes, while the rest is styled with staples from my closet. These are outfits you can actually wear all summer long, not just on the patriotic holidays.
6 Red, White and Blue Outfits
Striped Tee + Denim Shorts

You can’t go wrong with a classic striped tee. This one has red, white, and navy stripes and instantly feels festive without trying too hard. I paired it with high-rise denim shorts, white sneakers, and a sporty denim cap. It’s the kind of outfit you can throw on for a morning walk, a picnic in the park, or casual hanging out at home.
Striped T-Shirt Dress

This t-shirt dress is as easy as it gets, just throw it on and go. The red and white stripes make this one feel festive and fun, and it’s a one-and-done outfit you’ll reach for all summer. I added a denim cap and white sneakers for an easygoing, all-American vibe that works for just about anything.
Lobster Sweater + White Jeans

Here’s a fun twist on red, white, and blue that gives the coastal vibes. The red lobster graphic sweater adds personality, and it looks so crisp with cropped white denim and white slide sandals. I topped it off with a navy baseball cap. This is an easy look to dress up or down, depending on where you’re headed.
Graphic Sweater + Red Shorts

This navy sweater with a patriotic bear graphic is too cute not to wear and has the red, white, and blue covered. It has a vintage Americana feel and works great with red shorts for a pulled-together look.
Flutter Sleeve Tee + Denim Midi Skirt

You can’t go wrong with a feminine white top and a classic denim midi skirt. The flutter sleeves add a soft detail, and the raw hem on the skirt gives it a little edge. I added a wide-brim hat and gingham bow slides for just the right patriotic touch.
Knit Tank Dress

This ribbed tank dress in red and white blue stripes is just a little more elevated. I styled it with neutral sandals and a denim mini bag for a casual-chic finish. It’s a great option if you want to be comfy but still pulled together.
These red, white, and blue outfit ideas are an easy way to feel festive without overthinking it. Most of these pieces are currently on sale at Target until 5/26. Let me know which look is your favorite!
