Patriotic Bathing Suits Are a Must on the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is, of course, intended to celebrate the very important signing of one very important document (the Declaration of Independence). But in addition to being The Patriotic Holiday, the Fourth of July is also The Holiday Spent Drinking by the Beach/Pool/Lake (or Other Body of Water of Your Choosing). This isn’t to belittle what the holiday represents, so much as it is celebrate it in the most American way possible. So before you go feeling embarrassed for dedicating a lot of mental energy to deciding which Fourth of July swimsuit will look best in your inevitable Fourth of July Instagram, just remember you’re honoring a very U.S.A. holiday in a very U.S.A. way—and there’s no shame in that, now, is there?

The Fourth of July bathing suit is, quite frankly, a mainstay of the holiday. Because let’s be honest with ourselves for a minute. We will be spending the Fourth of July in some water-adjacent locale. We will be wearing bathing suits (and getting photographed in said bathing suits). And we will want to pay homage to the holiday through our sartorial palettes. Though it’s perfectly reasonable to don stars, stripes or red-white-and-blue during any time of year, it’s basically unreasonable to sport anything but on the Fourth of July. The dress code is unofficial, yet widely recognized; if you own patriotic clothing and you don’t whip it out on the Fourth of July, what, exactly, are you doing?

So go forth and fill your digital shopping carts with all the Fourth of July-worthy swimsuits you’ve been eyeing. What’s nice? Fourth of July-worthy swimsuits so thoroughly abound that there’s basically no way to do this thing wrong. Go full minimalist (white one-piece) or Miss-America-maximalist (red-white-and-blue, stars-and-stripes bikini)—the options are near-endless, which means the shopping opportunities are, too.
