Nothing says 'Merica quite like a dad in a flag shirt and jorts.

6 Types Of Fourth Of July Fashion
Daily Mail

It's that time of the year again, when you're forced to dig through your closet and find the perfect outfit to sport your patriotic red, white and blue. Maybe you've been wearing the same t-shirt and shorts combination for five years, or maybe you'd like to splurge on a new get-up for this fine American holiday. Whatever the case, there are several different types of 4th of July outfits, and many of them aren't pretty.

1. The "Typical Dad Move" Outfit

For many 40-year-old dads, no 4th of July is complete without some jorts and a nice red t-shirt that was probably bought 10 years ago. Throw in some brown mandals and a baseball cap, and this outfit is absolutely flawless.

2. The "I Just Spent $50 at Old Navy" Outfit

Remember when you were a kid and your mom forced you to wear an American flag shirt from Old Navy...three years in a row? Old Navy has 4th of July options for the whole family, and don't forget to pick up some patriotic flip flops (2 for $5!).

3. The "I'm Definitely in a Frat" Outfit

American flag Chubbies are a must-have for this look, along with some Sperrys and a cold can of Natty Light. Maybe even take a quick picture for your Instagram followers to show them just how fratty you truly are. #Merica

4. The "DIY Crafter" Outfit

This one is honestly pretty impressive to me. This outfit is one of extreme crafting skills, and no matter how much help I get from Pinterest, I know I will never be able to master the art of homemade American flag shorts.

5. The "My Crush Is Going To Be At This Party" Outfit

Some people use the Fourth of July to show a little skin. This outfit usually consists of some sort of crop top with a pair of high-waisted jean shorts. The perfect scheme to get your crush's attention in the most patriotic of ways!

6. The "I'm Staying In Bed and Watching Netflix All Night" Outfit

No 4th of July plans? No problem! Sit back and relax in your favorite robe with some Netflix and a steaming bowl of mac and cheese. Nothing says "America" quite like that.

I am personally looking forward to observing all of these types of 4th of July apparel this year, and maybe check out some new red, white and blue trends. God bless America!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
