With so many options of what to wear, it can be hard to decide. You could do a red shirt with jeans and that’s pretty average, but why be average when you can stand out? It is time to deck yourself out in red, white and blue and remember those who fought for those colors to represent freedom.

First, start with a shirt. Whether you like muscle tee’s or button ups you can’t go wrong with an American flag shirt.


Next, it’s time for shorts. You can be subtle or bold depending on your taste. You could go for a nice pair of shorts with American flag decorations:

Or you could rock some amazingly made American flag shorts:

Then comes the socks and shoes. Now this one can be tricky, because there are a lot of options. There are heels, shoes, high tops, Toms and cowboy boots. Anything you want, you can have. But if you want to be stylish nothing beats these:

Now it is time to really bring in the look with some nice accessories. Whether it be sunglasses:


Or a nice headband:

Or maybe some nice Mickey ears:

Or an awesome fanny pack:


Or even a nice cape:

With so many options out there, there is no reason you shouldn’t be all decked out in American flag apparel for Memorial Day. It is time to say thanks to those who fought and remember those who lost their lives for this flag, so this is not a time to be subtle with your accessories. Wear your red, white and blue with pride.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
