If you’re after 4th of July outfit inspiration that feels feminine, flowy, and perfectly festive, Alex Drummond’s wardrobe is where you should look! Whether she’s reaching for a breezy summer dress or a sweet gingham top, Alex always dresses up for the Drummond’s big Pawhuska Independence Day party.

In one recent look, she wore a bright red dress she described as comfy enough for a long, hot summer day. In another, she celebrated with baby Sofia in matching Hill House Home plaid dresses. And beyond the holiday itself, Alex’s go-to summer wardrobe keeps circling back to the same formula: breezy silhouettes, soft structure, pretty details, and pieces that are easy enough to actually live in.

That Americana spirit runs through every outfit on this list. Think swingy maxis and festive knits adorned with an American flag motif. No matter if your plans include a backyard cookout, a parade, a lake weekend, or fireworks after dark, these 4th of July outfits inspired by Alex Drummond are perfect for the patriotic occasion.

This is the exact dress Alex wore on the 4th of July last year—only in stripes instead of gingham. With signature smocking, ruffled shoulders, and a breezy tiered midi skirt, it’s the kind of dress you can wear from daytime plans to fireworks at night.

When Alex bought a dress similar to this one, she joked: “My justification was that I can also wear it for Fourth of July festivities. 🤣” The breathable cotton poplin, flattering shirred bodice, and flowy midi skirt make it an easy choice.

Alex once wore a gingham blouse with white denim shorts (and cowboy boots) for her family’s big Pawhuska party! Copy the look with this top that has the same classic plaid print, puff sleeves, and ruffle detailing.

The smocked bodice and breezy midi silhouette give this option the same effortless, feminine feel as Alex’s favorite Hill House Home dress, but with a more affordable price tag. Plus, the blue and red plaid print adds a timeless Americana touch.

Alex got the most charming American flag sweater for Christmas last year—and while hers is too heavy to wear during summer, this is a breezier (just as festive) version that’s perfect for throwing on when the sun goes down.

Did you know that Alex’s favorite summer dress comes in a blue striped print that’s perfectly patriotic? Along with the pattern, it’s comfortable, flattering, and made for all-day summer plans with its scoop neckline, flowy silhouette, and pockets.

If this fabulous pick looks familiar, that’s because Alex recently wore it to her baby sprinkle! But it would also make a fun pick for the 4th of July. The blue print gives it a classic Americana vibe, while the ruffle details and puff sleeves make it feel dressy yet still breezy for your holiday plans.

Gingham is a classic summer print, and Alex agrees! Classic, crisp, and effortlessly festive, the red-and-white color palette is just right for parades, cookouts, and fireworks without feeling overdone.

Okay, both Ree and Alex would wear this top! It’s red, white, blue, and so cute! Classic, easy, and subtly festive with its bubble hem and sleeves, you can easily pair it with denim for a warm summer night.

This airy mini dress is the definition of effortlessly pretty and summery. Alex once wore a similar sky-blue dress on America’s birthday, so you know this one with its soft crinkled texture, flutter sleeves, and swingy shape will be a great pick, too.
