Men’s Style: How to Dress to Show Your Patriotism

By  | 

Patriotism and style have not always worked together, as most men take the challenge plainly. Due to this, it is common to find most men wearing USA t-shirts and American flag blazers attending barbecues and walking along the beaches across the country. Most of these men want to depict pride for their country, but there is a much better way to show adoration for the country and still look gorgeous.

Are you aware that 85% of Americans display the national flag or wear Americana clothing to show patriotism? If you are an enthusiast patriot who believes in equality and freedom, there are high chances you are looking for the best outfit to show your patriotism. If so, read on to discover how you can style to improve your nationalism.

A Hint of Subtleness

Your outfit should include red, white, and blue to qualify as patriotic. Also, it will help if it has a flag or any other American symbol of history. Choose something subtly instead of having the symbol splashed across your chest. To further boost your loyalty, you can opt for marine corps clothing, as they are decorated with the American flag.

Wear Accessories

It would help if you considered putting on accessories because they make your outfit pop. Also, they provide you with an easy way of showing your patriotism. If you are attending a casual event, wear an Americana baseball cap.

On the other hand, a nice Americana belt will boost your look if you want to appear much more sophisticated. You can pair the American belt with a matching tie to improve the appearance. However, it would help if the belt included red, blue, and white tones.

As a man, you need to look great at all times. Thus, show your nationalism by donning American accessories. Whether it is a white leather wallet or a braided red bracelet, these small touches go a long way in showing your pride in the country. Even if you limit your patriotism to a single accessory, it still counts.

Color Block Your Look

Although it’s advisable to include red, blue, and white in your outfit, you don’t necessarily need to have all colors in one outfit. If possible, avoid the one-size fits all approach and instead wear white shoes, a red polo, blue shorts or red shoes, a white shirt, and blue pants. Else, try a similar combination. Do not be scared to get creative, as you are not limited to any color rules.

Try New Tones

When you consider American colors, you often think of red, blue, and white in their purest forms. The red is dominant, the white is shiny, and the blue is rich and deep. However, you have room to experiment when it comes to fashion. Therefore, you can consider trying out a cerulean, a pastel blue, or a washed-out shade. Also, substitute the standard red with maroon or burgundy.

You will be shocked to learn that there are several shades of white in the market, such as ivory, eggshell, and cream. While the American flag colors remain constant, it should not mean that you should specifically bind to those colors when paying tribute to this great country.

Wear Americana Embroidered Pants

As a man, wearing American embroidered pants is a great way to show patriotism. You might think that pants don’t suit summer weather. However, they have a stretch design and are designed with cotton, making them an excellent option for summer weather.

Therefore, consider wearing American embroidered pants if you want to wear something creative and funky. You can complete your look by pairing these pants with a blue, white, or blue blazer.

Put on Stripes or Stars Printed Outfit

You can look patriotic without necessarily wearing an outfit with the American flag if you opt for stripes or star-printed garments. So, search for an outfit with white or red stripes or a piece with a subtle print of white stars. As said earlier, you do not have to wear all the colors to appear patriotic. 

Remember that nothing displays your patriotism more than the stripes and stars.

The Gray American Flag Tank

For a nationalistic, super trendy, and casual street style, wear a gray American flag tank and pair it with white sneakers and khaki-colored trousers. You can improve this style by tying a denim shirt around your waist. The good thing about khaki pants is that styling them is fun and straightforward.

Black and White

Red and white are dominant in the American flag, and it makes sense when one wears an outfit with these colors as they make you look patriotic. However, if you are color-conscious, you can put on a white tee with the American flag printed in black and white and pair it with black sneakers with red shades and details. 

Think About Nautical Theme

A nautical or maritime theme is an iconic and timeless fashion trend. The best thing about this fashion trend is that you can do it in several ways, combining red, blue, and white. Think about yourself on a sailboat in Port of Los Angeles.

The iconic maritime look is white and navy with a pop of red. If you want to create an illusion of looking small, wear a navy piece on the bottom, perhaps a short or denim, and then add a white shirt and a red accessory, something like a shoe.

Think Outside the Box

Let your loyalty expand beyond the outfit you are wearing. Therefore, you can have a blue tote bag or a red beach towel. Also, the cooler with all your wine and beer may have all three hues. 

For some men, sticking to the three-color code may seem limited. Thus, it will be helpful for them to mix up the colors in visible ways.

The Final Say

As much as you adore the United States, it’s worth noting that American flag prints can be a hit or miss, mainly when donned in excess. It becomes an issue when the country celebrates Independence Day due to the spike in sales of patriotic paraphernalia. Skinny youths at music festivals can wear cute outfits, but bandanas can work just fine for the rest who can’t. 

Luckily, as you have seen above, there are countless ways you can dress to show your patriotism.
