It's almost the 4th of July! Time to celebrate America's birthday: gather with family and friends, eat tons of food at your 4th of July cookout, and maybe watch fireworks. The weather forecast is likely hot regardless if you're on a family beach vacation or just hanging out in your backyard by the pool. And that celebration by the water can only mean one thing: You need a cute and patriotic 4th of July swimsuit.

As you might expect, the majority of the best 4th of July swimsuits are red, white, and blue. But while some feature those three colors and stars and stripes, having all of those details isn't necessary to still be festive. A red and white striped one-piece swimsuit will look just as celebratory for the holiday as something with all the classic elements. But of course, if you want to go all out, you will certainly find classic American flag bathing suits of all kinds!

Here, you'll find cute swimsuits for every taste: high-waisted swimsuits, cute surf shorts, tankinis, bikinis, and flattering one-pieces. So go on, grab your favorite and wear it right through Labor Day. A long summer weekend for a federal holiday calls for a celebration... you might as well look the part!

Keep that patriotic pride going:
