What to wear & how to accessorize Memorial Day weekend/

Posted by Karen Curtis on 15th May 2023

There's definitely something about Memorial Day that seems to me an informal beginning to the summer season. While important we remember Memorial Day is a special occasion where we honor and remember the brave men and women who lost their lives while defending their country; It's a long weekend, usually filled with family, friends, bbq's and parties; so why not pay tribute and remember and show our pride in style.

This is my guide to a stylish & patriotic look that will carry you through the summer season from Memorial Day to Labor day.

Accessorize with jewelry

1. Show your patriotism with red, white, and blue

Memorial Day is the perfect occasion to show your love for your country, and what better way to do that than by wearing the colors of the American flag?

Show your patriotism by choosing jewelry pieces in red, white, and blue

Mix and match! Layer your jewelry.

Perhaps you wear a clear or white beaded necklace with a red bangle bracelet and pair it with blue dangle earrings

2. Wear military-inspired accessories: accessories inspired by their uniforms. Think camouflage inspired jewelry to create a unique and eye-catching look.

3. Go for nautical-inspired pieces. Since Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, nautical-inspired jewelry is another great choice.
