As far as we're concerned, the Fourth of July is for hot dogs, illegal fireworks, and spending time with your favorite people. Here are five no-fuss outfits to wear while you're doing just that, incorporating red, white and blue in the chillest way possible.
Dog Sitting
If your dog flips at the sound of fireworks, keep him company at home in your favorite jeans, but stick to holiday colors with red slides.
