5 All-American Staples To Wear Past Independence Day

by Sarah Easley and Beth Buccini

You broke out the stars and stripes for last weekend’s blissful barbecues, boat rides and beach picnics. Where to go from here? Today Sarah Easley and Beth Buccini of famed NYC store and e-commerce site Kirna Zabete share five all-American staples that work well past Independence Day (and straight into fall). According to the fashion pros: “American style is real and never silly or fussy. It’s uncomplicated, confident and competent. The trick is to wear clean, bold luxury pieces that work from day to night, city to country and work to play.” In other words: sparklers and beer koozies, not required.
