Memorial Day Musts

Celebrate all things red, white, and blue this Memorial Day. In addition to honoring the men and women who have served our country, Memorial Day also signifies summer starting. Whether it's patriotic party plans with the family, enjoying cocktails with friends, or booking a weekend getaway to the beach, we want you to feel and look your best. So, if you are wondering what to wear on Memorial Day this year, we have some darling outfit ideas for you. Here are our favorite picks, whether you are gathering with friends nearby or getting away.

Patriotic Party Plans

Having close friends and family over for a patriotic celebration at home is an easy way to celebrate during the long Memorial Day weekend. Keep things casual with a backyard barbecue. For a simple soiree with a red white and blue theme, we would wear this darling Red Stripe Cap Sleeve Top how Jenna has it styled in the photos. Throw on our favorite white shorts, comfortable wedges (perfect for dining and mingling in outdoor settings), and these light blue Susan Gordon earrings for the easiest red white, and blue outfit. 

Americana Cocktails Looks

For a more elevated outfit that solves the question of what to wear on Memorial Day this year, choose a statement sleeve dress in red, white, or blue. We adore these comfortable dresses that make a bit more of a statement with the fun sleeve detail. For Memorial Day cocktail plans with friends, we would pair this patriotic Red Babydoll Dress with white wedge sandals and a statement piece of jewelry to dress it up a bit. And, this Navy and White High Low Knit Combo Dress can be styled the same way if you prefer navy over red. These two dresses will surely be staple pieces for your #wellcollectedcloset and can be worn for many occasions to come this summer.

Memorial Day Getaway

If you are headed off to the beach for a getaway this Memorial Day, you'll want to be comfortable but also feel put together. Versatile dresses that can be worn as both a beach cover-up, and also for strolling around town or going to a restaurant are pieces that we love. This Fiorella Blue and White Stripe Dress ticks both of those boxes and it has a patriotic blue and white stripe pattern. We also adore our lovely (and new!) Blakely Dress/Tunic in Big Floral Bleus because it can be worn as both a dress over a swimsuit and as a tunic paired with White denim Spanx leggings.

Favorite Finishing Touches

We love adding a patriotic pop of color to any of our outfits on Memorial Day. If you already have the perfect pieces picked out for your Memorial Day celebrations, adding a statement piece of jewelry is a way to pull together the entire look. Our favorite finishing touches with a red, white, and blue theme can not only work for Memorial Day, but any other time that you want to brighten up an outfit throughout the year. You will always see us wearing our forever favorite cowrie collar in red, white, or blue with a simple dress or top to add a patriotic pop of color.
