With the Fourth of July holiday coming up this weekend, we thought it was only appropriate to celebrate our independence -- not only independence in the literal context of our history and heritage, but also symbolically for our freedom of expression. Because the truth is, we as Americans live in a beautiful country where no one can tell us what we have to wear, and independent style is praised rather than oppressed.
If that isn't enough to inspire you to show off your personal style this holiday weekend, maybe these picks of our Top Fourth of July Looks will...
