One of my favorite aspects of fashion is watching how American style changes drastically through the years… and then simply cycles back and repeats. Things might have changed just a bit since the first Memorial Day held back in 1868, but it’s still worth noting the way that history inspires today’s modern wardrobe. Regardless of past style revolutions, the patriotic pops of red, white and blue will forever serve their duty in a nationalistic fashion statement. We’ve curated the ultimate guide to today’s patriotic trends so you wear your stars and stripes stylishly this Memorial weekend!
