This Memorial Day, Skip the Stars and Stripes and Try 1 of These Fashion-Girl Outfits Instead

Whether you're hosting a Memorial Day barbecue, getting away to the beach, or picnicking in the park, celebrating the holiday in style is, of course, crucial. While we're all for an Americana theme and appreciate a "red, white, and blue" color palette, thinking outside the box with your outfit makes dressing for Memorial Day a little more exciting.

Yes, we're fanatical over striped tees and head-to-toe denim, but in the spirit of trying something new, we've put together eight superstylish outfits that come with fashion-girl flair — we're talking trendy strappy sandals, insanely adorable straw bags, playful puffy sleeves, and stylish extras from seashell jewelry to cat-eye sunglasses.

And because the new POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's is filled with crazy-cute (and affordable!) Americana clothing, we curated each outfit with those hero pieces as the focal point.

Scroll on for eight fashion-forward Memorial Day outfits, and for more ideas, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's where you'll discover a range of easy-to-wear looks for long weekends, Summer parties, relaxing getaways, and beyond.
