Here at StyleCaster, we love an excuse to shop statement shoes of any kind. Got a party coming up? A friend’s wedding? An outdoor barbecue? Another day at the office? All of these are perfect occasions for statement-making footwear of any kind. And if these fit the bill, national holidays definitely do. So if you’ve found yourself off-handedly wondering whether or not you should buy (or at least peruse) statement shoes for the Fourth of July, we’re here to tell you that you should. You definitely should. Your closet deserves it, you feet deserve it, you deserve it.
Weirdly intense takes on extremely trivial things aside, the Fourth of July is, surprisingly, kind of a BFD fashion holiday. People take to Instagram in droves to post red-white-and-blue OOTDs, red-white-and-blue flatlays and snaps of red-white-and-blue food porn. Stars and stripes are more abundant on social media than they are during any other time of year—and honestly, glimpses of our flag might be, too. It’s definitely a little strange that a holiday intended to commemorate the signing of a governmental document has turned into such a sartorial spectacle, but hey—if Americans love to do anything, it’s putting on a commodified show. (No shade here—this is a shopping guide.)
All this is to say that the Fourth of July is definitely a reasonable occasion to stock up on statement shoes—so long as those shoes are red, white and/or blue, obviously. So treat your feet to a little patriotism in the most capitalist way possible—America wouldn’t expect anything less.
