Picking Cute Fourth of July Outfits
Independence Day is a U.S. holiday rich in grilled food, the delights of summer sunshine, and childlike awe under beautiful fireworks displays. But, with sweltering summer heat, dressing a family in cute Fourth of July outfits suitable for a long day outdoors can be somewhat of a conundrum.
When you need to balance comfort and style, you can’t go wrong by dressing the whole family in soft, breathable bamboo clothing. We’re excited to introduce Fourth of July matching family apparel to make your holiday picture-perfect and mishap-free!

Fourth of July Outfits in Versatile Solids That Work All Year
If you’re looking for an outfit that’s festive on the Fourth of July but also wearable for everyday, pick styles in coordinating solids that you’ll enjoy wearing all year long. Our limited edition Fourth of July outfits in Celebration and Liberty Rip Tide coordinate with these colors in patriotic red, white, and blue:
- Tahoe: A dark, ocean blue
- Cardinal: A bright, cherry red
- Snow: A true white with cool tones
Coordinating Versus Matching Fourth of July Outfits
Depending on your family outing and priorities, you may prefer to dress your family in cute matching Fourth of July outfits or add a little more variety with coordinating family Fourth of July outfits instead. Choosing one of our new Independence Day prints in a style that works for everyone is a quick and easy way to dress your family in a matching look.
To break up the pattern and allow a little more individuality, you can coordinate your family’s Fourth of July outfits instead of going for an exact match. Achieve this by choosing a print and adding variety by mixing and matching cohesive solids.
Whether you choose to dress your family in matching Fourth of July outfits or opt for a more subtly coordinated look is a matter of personal preference. Here are some considerations when deciding between matching or coordinating outfits:
Why Choose Matching Fourth of July Outfits?
If you’ll be attending a large event, like a local festival or professional fireworks display, you may benefit by dressing everyone alike in matching Fourth of July outfits. A striking print can make it much easier to spot one another in a crowd and adds a layer of safety if you’re attending an event with small children.
Dressing everyone in matching Fourth of July outfits is also a fun way to create a family tradition and add a sense of togetherness. One potential drawback of matching attire is that it can be visually overwhelming in a group photo.
Why Choose Coordinating Fourth of July Outfits?
If personal style and individuality are important to your group, you may benefit from selecting coordinating Fourth of July outfits instead. Coordinating your family’s outfits also creates beautiful photos and offers the added benefit of extended wear after the holiday season has passed. Coordinating Fourth of July outfits do require a bit more organization, but the effort is handsomely rewarded if group photos are part of your agenda.
7 Tips for Coordinating Cute Fourth of July Outfits for Family Photos
If you plan to take advantage of extended daylight hours and the gathering of friends and family to update your group photos, keep in mind a few tips for choosing what to wear for family photos. With these tricks, you’ll easily coordinate your Fourth of July outfits for post-worthy pics you’ll cherish:
- Use solids as a primary palette, then accent with prints
- Include various textures to add interest
- Limit overwhelming patterns
- Use layers and vary the types of clothing
- Add interest with accessories
- Choose an outfit for the hardest-to-dress person first—often Mom!
- Most importantly, dress kids comfortably
How to Choose Newborn Fourth of July Clothes
Newborn Fourth of July clothes don’t have to be complicated! Prioritize your baby’s health and safety with items that will keep baby cool as temperatures rise. A bodysuit is a classic option made for the sweltering days of high summer. Throw on a festive pair of bummies in our Liberty Rip Tide print to complete the look.
In milder parts of the country or after sundown, consider packing an extra outfit with a little more coverage when planning your newborn’s Fourth of July clothes. A zippered shortall romper is an easy-on style that’s great to have on hand for quick changes.
Fourth of July Outfits for Older Babies and Toddlers
Older babies and toddlers are constantly on the move. But just like cute newborn Fourth of July clothes, when it comes to dressing toddlers, simple is always best! Prioritize comfy clothing that allows freedom of movement and easy diaper changes or toileting.
Loose tees pair effortlessly with harem shorts. These soft shorts are easy for potty training littles to pull up all on their own, which can help set them up for success on a big day out!
Big Kid Fourth of July Outfits That They’ll Love to Wear
Big kids love the chance to choose their own clothes. Give them options with twirl dresses, tank tops, and easy drawstring shorts. A short-sleeved polo is a classic style that makes for adorable pictures while offering the comfort of a T-shirt.
Celebratory Accessories for Your July Fourth Outfit
Fun accessories can take an outfit from good to great. Top your festive Fourth of July matching family outfits with adorable accessories in red, white, and blue.
Find complementary bows to keep your little one’s hair tidy and bibs to catch all the little spills that are part of a day out. A precious knotted cap is the perfect addition to your newborn’s Fourth of July clothes. Check out the following accessories you can mix, match, and enjoy well beyond the holiday:
Sun Safety: Protect Your Baby’s Skin
Summer sun makes for beautiful days, but it can quickly become dangerous for delicate baby skin. Keep your little ones safe while celebrating by packing a few strategic layers to add to your cute Fourth of July outfits.
A wide hat and breathable long-sleeved jacket or cardigan offer UV protection to prevent sunburn and double as light layers if evening breezes turn chilly. Check the UV index before heading out to ensure you take the proper precautions against sunburn, and follow these tips to keep everyone safe and comfortable:
- Limit sun exposure between 10 AM and 4 PM
- Seek shade when possible and wear protective clothing
- Reapply SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours and after swimming
- Be mindful of reflective surfaces like sand and water
Benefits of Bamboo Fourth of July Outfits
Sweltering days under an unrelenting sun can be both uncomfortable and dangerous in the wrong fabric. Choosing a lightweight and breathable fabric is important for keeping everyone cool and comfortable. Even the hottest of days are no match for the breathable, moisture-wicking benefits of bamboo clothing. Not only is our signature rayon made from bamboo buttery soft, but it also keeps you three degrees cooler than cotton. When the temperature starts to rise, you and your family will stay fresh and cool in your ultra-breathable, matching bamboo Fourth of July outfits—the perfect blend of fashion and function.
Keeping Cool While Nursing a Baby in the Summer
Choosing adorable newborn Fourth of July clothes is the first step in enjoying baby’s first Independence Day. If you’re breastfeeding, you may want to make a few more plans to keep yourself and your little one comfortable during warm-weather nursing sessions.
If you choose to cover while breastfeeding, ditch your regular nursing cover for an oversized, ultra-breathable bamboo swaddle blanket for ample coverage that won’t leave you and baby sweaty. You might even try a new nursing position, like the rugby hold, to minimize body heat and keep baby cooler. And, as always, ensure you drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
Don’t Forget Your Fur Baby’s Fourth of July Outfit!
A festive Independence Day isn’t just for the two-legged members of your family! Don’t forget to include Fido in your matching Fourth of July outfits.
Dog bandanas in our special edition Independence Day prints make for adorable photos, especially when they match your newborn’s Fourth of July clothes. Style your fur baby to match your new baby, and you just won’t be able to contain the cuteness!
Plan Ahead for the Fourth to Avoid Pitfalls
Even the most well-planned family outings still can go awry. Although some things simply can’t be planned for, the best thing you can do to prepare for a long day out is have a great attitude and scores of patience.
However, there are a few packing tips that will help make sure your holiday is as festive and fun as your newborn’s Fourth of July clothes. A few things to keep in mind as you’re packing the diaper bag are:
- Prioritize comfort and safety when choosing matching Fourth of July outfits for little ones
- Consider the weather and opt for breathable fabrics with sun protection
- Pack snacks
- Pack extra snacks
- Plan for spills—an extra outfit for everyone can ensure the fun continues without a trip back home
Packing Extras for a Great Independence Day with the Whole Family
Traveling light is ideal, but when you’ve got littles in tow, packing a few convenience items can make all the difference between a long, happy day and a long, exhausting day. If you’ve got the room, consider tossing a few extras into the minivan—they might just save the day:
- Pack an oversized blanket and enjoy a picnic lunch—a quick nap in the shade is a bonus!
- Holiday festivals can be overstimulating; a soothing lovey can calm a nervous toddler.
- Tuck the kids into patriotic jammies while waiting for the fireworks to start; afterward, you can slip them straight into bed!
- Help your baby through firework noise with pint-sized ear protection.
- Dry off and cover up between splash pad sessions and dips in the pool with a hooded bamboo swim poncho.
