Whether you’re heading to the beach or gearing up for a sidewalk barbecue to celebrate the Fourth, it can’t hurt to plan your outfit in the spirit of the holiday weekend.

We’ve got the best picks — for the boys, too — for short getaways, Americana-themed fetes, and serious time spent relaxing by the ocean.  These designers, from Polo and kate spade to Lucky and Nautica, have always captured the essence of all-American sportswear — stylish options abound to keep the weekend sartorially infused with some signature red, white, and blue.

And when it comes to sporting the best of American apparel, LeAnn Nealz, President and Chief Creative Officer at Juicy Couture, aptly pointed out that the look is characterized by “timeless sophistication and classic lines,” so keeping it fresh, original, and interesting is merely a matter of “mixing it up! Adding a quirky, bold accessory, unexpected fabric or pop of color to your look makes it refreshing and more interesting.  It’s all in the mix.”

So enjoy the fireworks (while looking good)!
