One of summer’s most anticipated holidays is fast approaching. The dress code for most 4th of July get-togethers is pretty low-key, so whether you want to commit to a full red, white and blue look or an homage to Americana with a classic T-shirt and jeans, we’ve curated the ultimate edit to cover all the outfit scenarios of the long weekend..

HOLIDAY COOKOUT

From a clambake to a BBQ feast, dressing for the 4th of July cookout calls for comfort + ease. It’s the perfect occasion to showcase a classic red, white and blue ensemble, so look to our Classic Cut Off Short in a soft white wash for the ideal neutral base, then build from there with a colorpop tee in Deep Ruby Red or Chambray Blue, or a classic striped style. Or commit to a single bold shade with the Poppy Red Twist Front Maxi Dress. 

While it may be called a Canadian Tuxedo, there’s nothing like a full denim look to capture the all-American mood. From straight-leg cuts to slouchy shapes, denim jackets and overshirts, there’s a style for everyone in our Denim Edit.  

HIKE

If your 4th of July includes time spent outdoors in the sunshine, then look to lightweight, natural fiber layers to stay cool. Our classic denim shorts are cut with a looser, A-line shape and a slightly longer leg that facilitates easy movement, or opt for a soft, tactile feel with sport-smart pieces like the toweling Rib Trim Track Short. 

Stay protected with sun-shielding essentials like a Summer Bucket Hat or a classic Baseball Cap, given a subtle British twist with our embroidered Swan logo at the peak.

BY THE WATER

Lake, pool or beach, a day by the water calls for certain essentials. This season’s swimwear is designed with intelligent features like removable + customizable straps and a smooth, compact Italian fabric across mix-and-match bikini separates or one-piece swimsuits. And for the time between dips or sitting down for lunch, look to clever cover-ups that combine breathable, open-work textures or lightweight cotton + silk blends so you can enjoy cooling coverage.

WATCHING THE FIREWORKS

As the evening draws to a close and the temperature dips, an extra layer is essential. Imbued with go-with-everything appeal, our Slim Utility Jacket offers a smart take on classic denim, and the Short Military Jacket is the ideal smart partner to casual jeans. Or choose a sweater in a breathable natural fibre like the Essential Crop style in a chunky cotton knit or the Contrast Rib Cardigan.
