If Ralph Lauren Were Hosting the Fourth of July, We’d Bet It Would Look Like These 20 Chic Decor Pieces
This is America’s birthday party, after all
The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and we’re in no mood to sacrifice our usual chicness. It is a birthday party, after all, and we wouldn’t want ours decorated with cheap souvenirs. America doesn’t either.
Few names are chicer – or more patriotic – than Ralph Lauren, whose Americana urtext of equestrian charm, aged leathers, and unpretentious polish provides a fitting blueprint for the holiday. Elsewhere, red, white, and blue is a color palette we can absolutely work with, punching up table linens and patterned platters to offer our usual stemware a little USA moment. Classic wicker details, meanwhile, ground the fête with a touch of old-country charm, weaving their way onto everything from picnic baskets to scalloped ice buckets
Stars and stripes may be mandatory pattern drenching. Tacky, however, is not. Shop 20 festive finds we’d actually buy for our Fourth of July decorating.
