Celebrating Cinco de Mayo isn't just about the margaritas; embracing the holiday's bold colors and festive style is all part of the fun. (But please leave the ponchos and sombreros out of the equation, and enjoy the holiday with a subtler nod to Mexican culture.) Think fun fringe, bohemian prints, and Mexican-inspired embroidery, because nothing puts us in the mood to fiesta quite like the perfect outfit.

We wouldn't call these looks authentic, but with a full Summer of sunny days ahead, these flowy dresses, cool tops, and funky-fun bottoms will be sure to come in handy. Read on now so that come Cinco de Mayo, you can get dressed in a breeze and head straight for the margaritas — it is a fiesta, after all.
