Memorial Day Outfit Ideas
Whether you’re headed to the lake, lounging poolside, or just soaking up the long weekend at home with friends and family, having a cute outfit ready to go makes it all the more fun. I pulled together some Memorial Day outfit ideas that balance comfort, style, and a little patriotic flair. Think stripes, lightweight layers, and a pop of red. These are pieces you’ll wear well beyond the holiday weekend too!
STRAW HAT | COVER-UP | BIKINI | EARRINGS | SANDALS
This little red cover-up is such a standout piece and I love that it feels festive but still super wearable. The crochet detail adds interest and texture, while the ruffled hem keeps it playful. I wore a neutral swimsuit underneath. Styled with a wide-brim straw hat and simple white slides, it’s easy, eye-catching, and so fun for any party or daytime event.
STRAW HAT | BIKINI TOP | BIKINI BOTTOM | BUTTON-DOWN | SKIRT | SANDALS
This is the perfect laid-back Memorial Day look for the lake or beach. The red bikini adds a festive pop, while the printed wrap skirt and linen button-down keep things breezy and pulled together. A straw hat and comfy slides finish it off for a look that’s casual and cute.
For something low-key but still elevated, this white button-down dress is perfect. It’s a blank canvas for fun accessories, like a navy sweater tossed over your shoulders or printed slides. Wear it for a casual dinner or front porch happy hour.
If you’re more of a shorts girl, a matching striped short set like this one is such a cute option. It feels put together but comfy enough for whatever the day brings. Parade, picnic, or just chasing kids around the yard. Bonus points for pairing it with platform sandals and a straw bag.
BIKINI TOP | BIKINI BOTTOM | HAT | COVER-UP | BAG
When you’re planning to spend most of your day poolside or beachside, a stylish cover-up is key. I love the oversized collar and subtle bell sleeves which give it a little structure. It’s also perfect for grabbing lunch or heading back to the house without needing a full outfit change.
This look is giving backyard BBQ but with a polished twist. I love a good matching set, and this one nails it with the vertical blue and white stripes and oversized floral embroidery along the hem. Whether you’re hosting friends or just enjoying an afternoon on the patio, this outfit feels festive without being over-the-top.
Headed to the coast? A red bikini, breezy striped dress, and beachy accessories make this look feel polished but totally relaxed. Add a woven tote, wide-brim hat, and your favorite SPF to stay stylish and sun-safe from sand to sunset.
For a Memorial Day at the lake, it’s all about easy layers and fun pops of color. A red swimsuit makes a festive splash, while denim shorts, comfy sandals, and a cozy sweater keep you covered once the sun goes down. Don’t forget a ball cap, oversized tote, and a cooler bag for snacks and drinks by the dock.
This look is perfect for a backyard BBQ or evening fireworks. Gingham, denim, and simple sandals are effortlessly cute and breathable, while a flag sweater and festive touches like themed plates or cornhole games bring the holiday spirit. It’s casual, cute, and great for all-day gatherings.
No matter your plans, I hope these looks give you a few ideas for what to wear this Memorial Day weekend. Whether you’re going full red, white, and blue or just adding a subtle patriotic twist, these pieces make getting dressed easy and fun.
