Taking a year off last summer, 2021’s Fourth of July weekend requires doing the most (not that you don’t already do that every day…).

Whether you’re heading downtown to watch fireworks light up our city’s skyline or escaped elsewhere to beat the heat (Michigan maybe?) one thing is for sure. The celebrations? Bigger. The fireworks? Brighter. The color scheme? Red, white, and blue. And, from your wardrobe to wine, Sophisticated Living has you covered. Here are some of our must-haves to celebrate the weekend – all in red, white, and, blue, obviously.

Per usual, stay up to date on our #SLFavorites by getting your own copy of the magazine and our online newsletter: https://www.sophisticatedstlouis.com/mag/subscribe. If you’re heading to the beach soon (because, who isn’t), check out the “Beachy Keen” article in our July/ August issue for a roundup of our favorites inspired by a sunny, sandy getaway.

Celebrating the 4th poolside? Look no further than our current cover star Devon Windsor’s very own swimwear line, Devon Windsor Swim. Want to know more about DW Swim from the supermodel herself? We’ve got you covered… grab your copy of Sophisticated Living for the full convo.

For the host or hostess with the most-ess, grab these HOST Wine FREEZE Cooling Wine Glasses for both red and white wines and fill those new glasses with a 2019 Errazuriz MAX Reserva Pinot Noir or a 2018 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Blanc (more selections featured in “Summer Sips” from our July/ August issue) .
