In the U.S., they celebrate Independence Day, or National Day today on the 4th of July. I have always loved this day when I lived in the States. Getting together with friends, we loved to fire up the grill for an afternoon barbeque with a cold drink in hand and watch the fireworks at night. Below are a few Independence Day inspired fashion must-haves that I compiled for you to enjoy.

“We feel it’s inevitable and crucial to create contemporary clothing.” – Demna Gvasalia.
The Creative Director of Paris design collective Vetements and Maison Margiela alumni elevates deceptively simple pieces with meticulous construction, considered fabrics and playful proportions. Leading the fashion tribe, he set a new tone for denim with its no-hem-hemline: think cut-off, let-down, frayed and raw. With its coolness, it’s completely street style approved and worth the investment.

And now, aside from Vetements, it’s gone mass: J Brand, Mother, Frame and many others (see below), are going for the uneven, distressed hem.
If you don’t feel like maxing out your budget on a pair of denim jeans, I suggest taking your scissors to create your own frayed style. For all others have fun shopping!
