Here’s Your July 4th Fashion Inspiration From Tessa Thompson, Reese Witherspoon, and More

There are a lot of ways to wear red, white, and blue on July 4th. You could signal your patriotism with a flag bandanna around the neck or wrist, say, or you could go and just wear a flag-inspired pattern as a top, if you’re a college student on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. You could also go full fashion fireworks, like Tessa Thompson does here with a head-to-toe striped suit in the pages of W, photographed by Tim Walker. For more Fourth of July fashion inspiration from the likes of Selena Gomez or Reese Witherspoon—there’s no movie star more all-American, after all—revisit these looks from W‘s archives, here. Happy birthday, America.
