Fourth of July Poolside Fits

The Fourth of July is coming up this weekend, and for me, it’s not really the 4th without a fun pool party. Whether you're relaxing in the sun or keeping an eye on the kids, your outfit should be both cute and comfortable. Today I’m sharing three festive, poolside looks that bring just the right mix of red, white, and (especially) blue.

Fit 1: The Pool Mini Dress

This gorgeous blue mini dress is the ultimate throw-on piece for lounging by the water. It's lightweight, easy to slip over your swimsuit, and adds just the right amount of glam for a poolside party. Pair it with a straw shoulder bag or tote handbag to elevate the look. Perfect if you’re planning to sip something cold and look effortlessly put together.

Fit 2: Blue Sweat Shorts + Tank Combo

For when you're on unofficial lifeguard duty (I see you, pool moms), blue sweat shorts are a must. Comfy and cute, they pair perfectly with a black or white swimsuit. Toss on a light blue tank top between swims, and you’re ready for whatever the day throws your way. This look says relaxed, sporty, and ready to reapply sunscreen like a boss. These shorts are also a fun pick for the 4th—they’ve got ‘American Summer’ printed in the corner for an extra festive touch.

Fit 3: Relaxed Maxi Dress Cover-Up

If your ideal pool day involves tanning, sipping something tropical, and maybe heading out for a bite, this one’s for you. A relaxed maxi dress cover-up is basically a wearable vacation. It’s breezy, flattering, and easy to style. Want to take it up a notch? Throw on a tropical graphic tee over it—hello, vacay vibes!
